Thoughts on dating this Stetson. Not OR, Has 3” bound brim, cattleman crease about same crown height as my 50’s OR. Union symbol on back of size tag. Originally had feathers in the 3 ply ribbon band.

What do y’all think? Late 50s, 60s?

No tags under liner or sweat. Just a number 12 in marking pencil.

It's right there on the front page of this thread. The liner color is interesting but Stetson used different liners at times. But I'm pretty confident in the lounge's dating for these size tags.
The size tag is obviously on the first page, but the tag, liner and sweat combination is not. I was hoping someone could give more detailed information on this combo as I have not been able to find anything in my research so far.

Gotcha. With some scrolling through the "how to date a stetson by liner" thread I found one that looks similar to yours but with lesser quality sweatband since only royal not 3x) and folks seemed to think was late 50s.
