Vic, what is the quilted gold leaf look & the crest shown below? Stars joined together
I see this as a star logo that is on the sloppy side. These sweatbands shrink and stretch and make it hard to tell for sure. (did I understand your question correctly?)

Yes, thanks! I would agree with that.

I was not singling you out for misinformation, sorry if I came off that way.

Back to this question, from the ads other guys posted the $100 Stetson came out in ‘51. I believe we can nearly assume this also corresponds to the earliest date of the Stetson 100; more certainly the earliest possible date.
Maybe some folks have more ads or hats with date stamps that make better indicators? More information is always better!

That hat-case combo is certainly at the top of the heap! Looks to be museum quality to me! Enjoy.

Great hat, Jack. Unusual liner on the case, at least to me. I know you have a red lined one and mine is red as well.

I think this case was an accessory sold by Stetson & not specific to the "100". All the dimensions & the inserts are the same but no "100" badging & the white liner.

You got me motivated...Stetson 100, Stars^2 and pre-plastic.
A 6 5/8, hopefully the purists among us won’t be too up in arms that I took it downstairs to Ignacio to open up a little...I don’t know that there are any heads that small wearing hats; now the hat sees the sun a little more!
PS I added the original hat box.

Three 100's and all of them beauties. Thanks for sharing these. Do you notice any significant differences in any of them?

I'm still itching to put a diamond in one, though.

Dang ... you're killing me here ... these would all fit me (maybe not on a windy day). You are a lucky man to own one, but three? Wow!
