My aunt gave me her late husbands brand new black Royal Stetson hat. I know nothing about hats and was hoping to gain some insight here. Thank you in advance. Gary. I can email pics until I figure out how to post them or a link here.

Welcome to the Lounge Gward.
If you would take a little time to look around most answers are already here.
The stickys have a thread on how to post photos and we have a great thread on how to find things here.
Again WELCOME!

Based on the size tag it appears to be 60's vintage

When I search the number 3926, I get no results. I did figure out it's a fedora made of black felt.

Hey Gward--Welcome to the Lounge! I might have read this differently, but, RBH might have been addressing how to post a picture. the Royal Stetson is a level of felt. The number could be a stock number or style number. Check out the sticky on how to post picture and post one up and you'll get some help.

Could be the block Number. Is this number on a tag with a read border. It genreally states what block and size the felt was done on so someone could reorder the same hat.

Dang it! I have several hand written numbers and a price tag in an OR 3x ($15.95--seems about right), but, no stickers. The one hat that had a sticker has a new sweat band and I didn't keep the old band...so, back to the original post...

Thanks for the info. all

The 3926 number is handwritten on the backside of the sweat band. There is also a stamp of a shield or something similar with "Bc".
