Why would this happen? Resistol stamped over a store label. I can’t imagine a situation in which that would be the order of operations.

Thank you Scott. I have another No. 1Q (Lot 7616) of that era with the same kind of reed. Cream color & somewhat rigid now, no covering & with a cris cross pattern stamped into the reed. I’ve wondered if these reeds have aged hardened to become rigid?

The keyhole tag is a little confounding, but I very seriously doubt that's a 40's hat. For one thing, it's got a plastic liner tip. That should be pretty definitive that it's 50's at the earliest.
I believe my Junior Cowboy is mid-late 40's, the ad copy I have is earlier, but the quality of the leather makes me think it's later in the decade when comparing to the 30's Nutria I have. Anyway, same deal, 2" sweatband, light colored reed. No plastic liner tip.

Exactly what I was going to say. The keyhole tag without the full integer was definitely in use through the mid/late 50s and with the plastic liner tip (if it's original) that's where I would place this hat in terms of age.
I know that folks here seem to have a lot of love for the No 1 quality hats but I also feel like I read that it was sorta the lowest quality hat stetson sold. Which in the 20s/30s was a great hat but maybe by the mid/late 50s was not so great?

Just got a beautiful hat from an unknown manufacturer that has only the store info on the sweatband and a liner with, what appears to be, the store's branding. Does anyone recognize the manufacturer's tag in the photo below?

I just scored this vintage Stetson from the 1960’s I believe. I think it may be a “Western Gentleman” but was hoping some other more knowledgeable soul, can shed some additional insight to it.
