Still one of my favorite early Stetsons of all time. The color combos on that one are just fantastic and proof that not every early hat was black or gray with a black ribbon. I never noticed the blue edge binding matched with a double row of stitching. Its just awesome! Can you take a picture of the tags under the sweatband?

1920s 'Extra Light Weight' Nutria velour.

This one looks to have been worn very little. The liner is one of my favorites. True to the designation, this hat is super light and malleable.

Wow! That completely redefines "leather-fetishism"! Why don't I ever see this on modern custom hats? I would guess, that quite a few hat enthusiasts would like to pay an extra half an hour's salery to the hatter. For that deep embossings and rollings you'll need more expensive dies, but the extra cost per sweat would be minimal. I just don't get it [huh]

1900's Stetson Derby. In phenomenal shape and with original box (not pictured). Sadly, a 7 Long Oval so I can't wear this one :eusa_doh:
