Just in! One of my all time favorites, a 40s Stetson Casual. And now that I teach from home all day, I actually have time to post on TFL. It took a disaster. Yikes.

Good get, Adrian!

And good to see you. Take care of yourself!

You, too, Jim. Craziness.

WOW! That is a grail hat. It clicks off a lot of boxes - condition, felt hue, liner (grand), lovely felt hue, sweat condition, sweat labeling, age and dimensions. That is a swell hat. Congrats sir! Wear it with pride.

Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -

Thanks Eric, I appreciate your advice on it before I bought it.

Very nice ! I’ve looked for those, but they seem pretty hard to come by.

My co-worker's husband sold me his hats he doesn't wear anymore. These were bought at Rogers Department Store in Wyoming Michigan.

Hornskov center crease natural beaver with darkbrown ribbon with a color treatment in the bow. The fit is absolutely perfect and the hat feels extremely soft. Great hat!!

Today’s newest arrival Stetson Standard Quality

Stetson Standard Quality Silverbelly
7 1/4 (as tagged). - Fits like 7 to 7 1/8
Super thin light and moldable Felt
1/4 thin ribbon
2 1/4 brim with 1/8 matching bound edge
5 1/2 Open Crown (4 3/8) as bashed
1 7/8 tan sweatband. Thin. Super soft and supple.

@M Hatman suggested this may be a ‘Kingston’ model... a predecessor of the Open Road. I have no knowledge other than that but this is one impressive hat!!

I thought I was getting this to check it out and pass it on to a friend whose size it would be more appropriate. Much to my surprise after unpacking and setting atop my head it fit perfectly. I am usually 6 7/8 to 7... my 7 1/8 hats have felt strips in the sweat so I can still wear them. I even had two 6 3/4 arrive that fit perfectly... no way this 7 1/4 was gonna fit... yet here we are. So looks like this one is going to be around longer than I planned.
