Thanks Bob!

That looks like one of the earlier models. A real beauty.

Thanks Randy! It may have a lot number 7744 stamped inside the sweatband that I’m hoping can help date it.

Stetson Beaver Twenty-Five in great condition with amazing dry-moldable felt. It takes just a few seconds to crease a new style.

Stetson Musketeer - Champagne
4 5/8 crown as shaped - about 5 1/2 open
1 5/8 Duo-Tone Grosgrain Ribbon (Champagne/Maroon)
2 3/4 Brim with 1/8 Champagne binding and triple stitching

I am very grateful to @BobHufford that he reached out and offered this Stetson Musketeer to me. I have another one of these with the light colored liner and it was cool to get one with the maroon liner tip. For some reason I did not realize this one was in a different colored felt. The other ones I have seen including mine have been a very light blue grey felt with a silver/maroon duo ribbon. Possibly I may have seen a slightly darker grey version. I think that left me to assume the yellow tones I saw in the photos was just lighting. In fact this Musketeer is an entirely different color scheme with a beautiful champagne colored felt along with a champagne and maroon duo tone ribbon. The Musketeer styling is completed with the 2 3/4 brim bound in matching grosgrain along with three rows of decorative stitching.

The Stetson Musketeer was a model named only via magazine advertisements in 1950 the name does not appear anywhere on the hats themselves. Their unique styling though makes them easy to identify.

Thanks so much to Bob for keeping me in mind for this one. I am so happy to have this great example in my collection. It is truly one of those hats I find myself taking off to admire.

Magnificent hat, Joe!

After seeing @Mighty44 David’s RD OR in gray, I knew I’d have to have one. This one has a 2 5/8" brim. I'm really liking it. Thanks to @Randall Renshaw for the assist!

Thanks Randall!

Just like Stefan @steur I like french hats too. The quality is outstanding.
Today ik picked up this Supra Tirard Frères in light grey/dove color. I am very impressed by this quality too, knowing that this is a hat from the 30's/40's. I detect 1 mothspot on it, but not a serieus damage. I think a great find.

Thanks Joe, it fits like a glove. It has a size 51/2 and a 59 on the inside of the hat. It seems to be a 59 ;-)

That does look very nice, Marcel. We seem to have a lot of light blue hats being posted recently.

Thanks, but do you see light blue? I think it's more light grey. Nevertheless a great color

Love the color on your sweet new hat, Marcel!
Also like the two beasts holding the crest for the logo! The art work from that era is so much more impressive than any other.
