1950s Stetson Whippet - Gray
I’ve had this hat for just over a year and I think today was the first time I've worn it. It's tagged 7 1/4 but it is a loose 7 1/4. (I'm between a 1/8 and 1/4). I had to use two felt strips to shim. I had planned on sending this to Art Fawcett to be cleaned and reblocked back to a true 7 1/4. But, I have acquired two more Whippets from the 50s so never did.
Also willing to trade for 50s or older fedora with 2 3/4" to 3" brim.

- Size is 7 1/4 but is a loose 7 1/4
- Brim is 2 3/4"
- Ribbon is 1 3/4" black grosgrain
- Crown is 4 3/4” front, 4 1/4” back
- Fur felt is excellent
- I think it could use a good cleaning
