Thank you Stefan!Catch of the month!
Just posted my 7X CB OR in the classifieds for trade. 7 3/8 LO
You feeling okay?? Good to see you around again, feels like it’s been a while.
Very cool JesseView attachment 397683 View attachment 397684 View attachment 397685 View attachment 397686 A later 7xcb with a square black size tag. Very light weight and thin felt, also on the stiffer side. Took some steam to reshape as it came as a telescope crown. I felt the need to show off the crown height, so here we are with a higher pinch/teardrop. I’m a big fan of the dimensions on this one as well as the thin cord.
just bought a hat, the seller told me that his father bought it in 1976 in El Paso, TX.
Does anyone know anything about 7X clear beaver stetson? how good quality hat is it? or where can I find information about this?

Daniel,Welcome to the Lounge with a great hat.
Yes, the 7X CB thread linked above has all the info you need.
In general and in brief, this was a top of the line and well regarded hat at the $50 price point. For reference, a very nice 3X was priced at $15 during the same period. Only the Stetson 100 was priced higher at $100.
This one could be a 50s (probably) or 60s (maybe) hat, definitely top quality.
All the best,
Daniel
Hey One Drop, Thanks.I have a '50s Open Road of the same designation, it's a superbly high quality felt, easy to shape, beautifully smooth, dense but fairly thin and very lightweight. I can't speak for the quality of the '70s felt, I'd assume it's not as high as in previous decades.
Beautiful classic Western Stetson, I'd snap one up like yours in a second if I found an earlier one in my size at a reasonable price !

I don't doubt that one bit.By the 1970s, I wouldn't even know what "7X" even meant.
Very nice hat, DanielA rare 7XCB fedora, another later retirement gift.
This one showed up on eBay as a 1930s Stetson, $19 starting bid and an OBO. I wrote a nice note and offered a crazy low amount and now I am pretty much full up on gray Stetsons.
A very nice hat.
