Completing the Standard Quality trilogy with one more:
A very nice charcoal grey featuring two rows of decorative stitching and a striking liner. There isn't a discernible LOT number to be found, but all signs point to this being from the 1930s.

Thanks, Panos! I had a pretty nice hot streak for a couple months this past fall. Been playing catch up ever since. The pace will slow down for hats at least, but I do have several more that I need to document and add.
In addition to hats I was busy buying a bunch of other vintage stuff too. When eBay sent me my end of year review I was slightly embarrassed.
Embarrassed perhaps, but a lot richer with vintage stuff, JonathanThanks, Panos! I had a pretty nice hot streak for a couple months this past fall. Been playing catch up ever since. The pace will slow down for hats at least, but I do have several more that I need to document and add.

This is the nicest Stetson Special that’s come my way. 2 ½” raw edge brim and a 5 ⅝” open crown. The sweatband is soft and supple and the felt is wonderfully moldable.

I enjoy looking closely at these old hats.
The quality, artistry and craftsmanship will never again be duplicated.
Quite a pleasure to own one.
