Stetson Sovereign

[DOUGLAS]

Here is a great looking hat. It definitely needs a good cleaning but it has a super shape and the felt is damage free and really pliable. the sweat is in good condition as well. I will just need to stretch it a hair. This was one of those gambles that payed well. The pics were not great and didn't show very much but in the shadows there was something.

Razzman, the front crown is 4-5/8" and the back of the crown is 4". The brim is 2-1/2".

daaammmmn

That's nice. The more I see old Stetsons the
more I like 'em.

I can't tell from the picture- where is that date
stamp located? That's unusual.

Great hat, Douglas. The color seems to make the brown in your beard pop. The brim width is great.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Feltfan There is a fabric tape that was placed behind the rear part of the sweat that is roughly six inches and the date is stamped on that. I was suprized too as I had not seen that before. I don't know if it is original to the hat but I guess the hat can't be younger than 1945 which is pretty cool.I think it is there to make the hat a bit smaller.
Hey Cruiser, yeah the brim is great it seems wider than it is. The color is just right for me, it has a bit of camel in it.

I really like this hat!

August of 1945, a true Atomic Age hat! I wish they all had dates in them, it'd make things a lot easier.

Great looking lid! A Mode Edge Twenty, what a find!

 

[Feraud]

A great looking hat and you really know how to wear 'em well!

What does a 1/8 size translate to? Great looking hat Douglas!

7 1/8

TY sir

 

[DOUGLAS]

This is an easy wearing hat. The dimentions are odd,for me looking at the photo the crown seems taller than 4-5/8". I wish I had a great suit to go with it.
Tony this is my first mode edge twenty, all of my other mode's are fifteens. This felt is thicker and heavier than those however equally soft.

 

[astaire]

Some hats do look taller than they really are. My favorite hat is also like that. Strange, but I'm really happy with tall hats since I like them alot.

Again Douglas, congrats as the bet pays off:eusa_clap It's in you favorite color too!

3 vintage Stetson Hats

I have 3 Stetson hats that belonged to my dad. They are in excellent condition with their original boxes. I would like to find someone who is interested in these hats rather than have them just sitting in their boxes. They need to be worn. If anyone in interested, please email me and I will email you photos of the hats.

I am more than sure that many will want to take you up on your offer ,however I think this post would best serve you in the Classified section. Most folks looking to buy look in that section. Good luck!
