1939, with Air Light

Lefty -- consulting the Dating Vintage Stetsons By Price thread, I see that I had found a 1937 ad for an "Air-Light" Whippet. So, the term was in use as early as '37.

Cheers,
JtL

According to Dinerman, in a post about his Air Light Playboy, it goes back as far as '34. Though I've only just begun my obsession with a hat I'm yet to receive, I haven't seen anything earlier than '36.

Thanks for Buler for grabbing this one for me.

For $2.50 more, wonder what differentiated the Ashville from the Strat? Sure can't tell it from the drawing...

1919 Stars and Stripes (has it's own searchable database)
Apparently, based upon a quick glance of a number of articles (not ads), helmets were popularly called steel Stetsons.

We'll be there for you when you come home, but why wait? Stop off in Paris or London on the way home and buy a hat.

check out this wild style from 1906

1941
Check out the great site where I found this one.
note the slant on the Mindoro

That Mindoro is cool have you ever seen it posted for sale on eBay? The Sennit Boater is the one you see posted all the time the others are more rare.

My framed copy of the famous Stetson Whippet ad, hanging in my home office. It's cut from a magazine dated October 1st, 1949. (I purchased the page from eBay -- I had no part in the actual destruction of the magazine.)

You might want to see if you can get a decent quality printout of this one featuring Dick Haymes.
This too dates from 1949 - confirmed by the film plug. (Click pic for huuuge file.)

Was that a replacement for the Stetson Jailbird?
