Stetson Ermine/Beaver with case.
I was wondering if the other Stetson Ermine I had seen pictures of was pure Ermine, but I took a look at the picture of its certificate, and it says it was made of pure Ermine and pure Beaver. I can barely make it out.

Looks rough but I bet it cleans up nice, Max.

It was me. I had already come to a verbal agreement with the seller, who had listed it in auction for 50 dollars, so he added a 500 dollar buy it now. Someone snatched it from me just as I was paying for it, but luckily the seller is an honorable guy, and honored our verbal.
I gave him an extra 500 to thank him for keeping his word

Royal De Luxe Stetson St Regis

it arrived a bit wonky at the base of the crown. set out with a nice boiling pot and got to work. I think it shaped up nicely

I’m not sure what cause the misshapen crown. Could have been a slight shrinking of the sweat.. but I don’t think so as the size seemed fine. The ribbon was actually slightly stretched out with the crinkle. Though I think it possible the ribbon had been replaced or reattached at some point as the ribbon stitches go through the liner. You can see some of it at the top of this photo.

In the end... I’m gonna go with. Stacking... as the culprit for the weird shape. Seems as plausible a reason as any. But whatever the reason. It’s mostly gone now.

Really happy with this one

Really great find! Glad the wrinkles came out.

That’s an incredible hat, Max! I’m calling bibs on the next one in 7 5/8 :)

I can’t wait to see it cleaned up. However, now that the last dragon has been slain what do you do? It reminds me a commercial from a few years back where I guy was surfing the internet and comes to the end and gets a screen that says he’s seen it all.

Stetson San Angelo 4X. It is the model that appears on Raylan Givens' head on "Justified", which is the show that got me started on hat collecting View attachment 287521 View attachment 287522 View attachment 287523 View attachment 287524 View attachment 287526 View attachment 287527 View attachment 287528 View attachment 287529


Moving on to wool hats, ehh? I watched Justified for a while but for some reason it didn’t hold my interest and I stopped. I hear he went to a fedora toward the end of the show.

I have a hat in the same Ranch Tan color, I like it! It's got a bit of a pale gold/yellow undertone.

Baron swears they made a hat for the show, but I have also heard Stetsons were used. Could very well be both are true.
