70s (?) Sovereign quality Stetson. It has a 'mode' edge and the felt is razor thin.

Nice looking Stetson, great find. I notice the size tag does not have metric measurements with the 7 3/8 size. Is this a dating clue? Probably closer to the older estimates of age?

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.
Yeah right! I can resist anything except temptation.
The Good Lord says, if it causes you to sin pluck out your eye.
You don't want me going blind, do you? Better send that collection to me then.
It would seem that the offense might have already been made. To keep there from being hard feelings between you two gentlemen, I had better keep those hats as an mediator between the two of you. [emoji56]

Rockel (Alsfeld), 58cm, Open Crown 5 inches, Brim 2 3/4 inches, probably late 1950s. The hat was machine formed but I was easily able to change the crease. The charcoal colored felt has an interesting finish which is coarser clipped finish so not a Velour. Also has a very nice thin ribbon bow design that is still basted. The only Rockel identifier is on the crown patch and there is only the store name on the sweatband. The paper label has the older Rockel format and look but without the company identifier (R. & Co. A.).

Basting stitches still on bow and thin ribbon.
