Really great pick up Garrett with interesting details. Gold size tag, fixed wind cord button, stitched rear sweat seam, combined with the 1915 medal imprint. Some elements are useful in dating a hat, others not so much. Does the lacing appear to have been added after production by a hat shop?

A 1930s beauty for sure.

O wow, that's a fantastic find, Garrett. And in superb condition by the looks of it. Congrats.
My cats are like that (but I guess they all are).

Ghosts.

All the hats I own have imprints of the store in which they were sold and almost to a one, those stores exist today in memory only. Here is one that still lives on. I have fond memories of the stunning Christmas windows and the display of glittering branches that arched above the old wood cabinetry on the main floor. No guarantees for the future, but wonderful that it still lives today to make memories in kids a couple of generations behind me. Enjoy this old Stetson sold in Saks & Company about a century ago.
