The Official Stetson Nutria Quality Thread

I don't believe I remembered to post this here back in January, when I acquired it. Gorgeous blue-grey Nutria Quality. 3" brim, 5" crown as creased.

Stetson Boss Raw Edge, Kettle Finish, Real Nutria. Brim is just shy of 4 1/2 inches and open crown is 7 inches. Best I can tell, the Lot Number is either 233, dating this hat about 1905, or else it's X233 with a 3, 5 or 6 before the 233. The number 233 is also hand-written with a black marker on the sweatband However, I'm not sure that the mfg tags in this hat were used very early, so I hesitate to make a firm estimate of the hat's age, but it's certainly early 30's or before.

A couple of other photos. On the inside edge of the sweatband there's a thin gold colored line.

Nice BREKF hat there, Mike. Glad you added that last line because it’s most likely a 20-30’s hat based on the overall scope of the hat.
