I got a Stetson 300! It is a modern hat (it was gifted to the seller's Godfather, in 1969), but I am hopeful the felt will be good.
Here is Stephen's account on the hat's procedence:
He told me he was invited to be in a wedding party
1969
His friend was a judge from the New York area and married a girl from texas
He showed up at the wedding in his Tuxedo and was presented the hat along with the other groomsmen as a gift for being part of the wedding party.
When he got back to Canada he covered it with plastic and never wore it again.
New old stock he called it lol
So, I feel lucky to have acquired it! View attachment 218882 View attachment 218882 View attachment 218890 View attachment 218883 View attachment 218882 View attachment 218887 View attachment 218886 View attachment 218885 View attachment 218884 View attachment 218883 View attachment 218882
Very cool looking hat from the photo s.I don’t think I’ve seen this Stratoliner before. Can’t say I’m a fan of the sweatband. The seller states it’s fur felt, and if it was my size I’d have bought it even though it’s a newer hat.

Aye, Aye!Well now you can certainly tell us if the hat lives up to the mythical hype from Buler’s post in 2009

I have a 350, 400, 450, 500, 550....all for very reasonable prices.
I’ll have my hot foil stamping machine paid off in no time!
I'm sad I missed this. This hat is actually in my size and would have been great for the upcoming summer.
LOVE that liner!!!!!!FWIW, here's the inside of a recent Stetson Pinnacle.
No XXXs but they do mention it's an Excellent Quality hat just in case you weren't sure.
Same sweatband as all of the other ones which was disappointing, you think they'd go a bit more upscale for this model as it's a good one but nope.

Nah. Ignacio will just turn it into a Semi Calado stingy.
“Beat up old hat estate find.” No clue on size, and doubtful it will be fit me, but I’m guessing I’ll come out alright on this: View attachment 220535 View attachment 220536 View attachment 220537 View attachment 220538 View attachment 220539 View attachment 220540 View attachment 220541
That is quite beautiful Max.MacLachlan Twenty. Seems I saved it from becoming part of sawinokour's "Dad's Collection"
