I start getting nervous about buying a Sovereign Twenty that doesn't have stars in the logo of at least either the liner or sweatband, and I prefer stars in both. And I won't buy one unless it has the older mfg tags. This is because some of these Stetson dress hats start to fall off in quality around the mid 50's, in my opinion, altho others may differ on this point. However, this hat is still high quality felt that could pass for a late 40's hat and is every bit as good as my Dobbs Twenty hats of this period.Such a beauty!
I am in love with these wide brimmed Stetson 20s. I've got three 20s but only one wide-brimmed (2 5/8) and I am infatuated with it. The smaller brims are also nice (both of mine are 2 1/4) but the smaller crown that comes with it really loses something in translation. The 20 felt just cries out to be expansive.
