Yeah, that liner embossing is the first time I have seen that, and I really like a long hair fedora.

Thanks for sharing!

Tremendous hat.

Nice one Bob. You ever see that sorta print/texture embossed in a liner before? Very cool

That’s what I was thinking. Very unusual especially for something in this period. It’s similar to the swanky stuff you start seeing in the 1960s.

There's something about these old hats that's just so attractive. A beauty!

Thanks everyone!

Thanks Ross. I don’t recall seeing a liner like this before.

Then again, I don’t recall a lot of things.

A hat friend texted me with photos sent to him by the owner of the hat below, my friend asking my help to date it. I'm posting it because it's a nice early Stetson and I don't know if it will otherwise ever appear in public. It's a Stetson 4X Beaver and looks like it has a velour finish. I guesstimate it's from the first half of the 1930's or late 20's.

Nice! Didn’t that just sell on Goodwill?

I have no idea, Bob, but possibly so. I wasn't told who actually owned the hat at the time. But if you thought you saw this hat, you probably did, because there can't be 2 of these for sale. All I know is the owner was said to be asking $350 for it. PS- My friend said this morning that they were outbid on that hat, so that sounds like maybe Goodwill.
