The Stetson One-Hundred "100"

[rclark]

The Stetson 100s I have owned were all square black size labels which I assign to the 1960s. I'm not versed enough in the late keyhole tag era to know if it is late fifties or early 1960s, but I think late 1950s sounds much more sexy. I'd go with that. Lounge member MichaelShane had a hankering for the Stetson 100 - I believe he had some earlier examples with keyhole size tags. Carouselvic might have or know of others.

Thanks Alan. My others have the square black size tags and given the difference in felt quality my best guess is late 50s. And it sounds better too!

Yes, I was making some. I still have some of the material left. It's a very time consuming process. If someone wants to try it on their own, I can measure the acrylic strips which were exact dimensions to originals that I had. I don't know when I'll find enough spare time to make any more of these.

Here was the thread on these, of course the pics are gone (stupid photobucket). http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/stetson-100-box-inserts.42807/

I acquired this 50s Stetson 100 a few months ago. I didn't really care for the hatband and the felt was a bit dirty so I sent it to VS Custom Hats to have the ribbon replaced. I think @Art Fawcett did a spectacular job.

I could never imagine making a 100 better, but Art's ribbon work sent this one into the stratosphere Bill! WOW!

Then this happened over on eBay...one of the fastest Buy It Now buttons I hit. Stetson 100 fedora, stars on the liner crest. Size 7. Just my little effort to catch up with you big boys!

Some of these beauties are still out there. It looks hardly worn - now to get it out and about.

Now there’s a nice one. A Hundred kudos.
That crown looks creamy soft and the thin ribbon is quite a nice touch.
Wear it well Tonio.
