1946 and 1947.....,Stetson is telling us how to dress for our hats (AND THE LADIES!). I suppose this was necessary after many came back after a few years of wearing nothing but green.......

In these ads you will find The Stetson: Casual, Campus, Whippet, Trophy, Belfield, Stratoliner, Sennit, the famous Panduro, Stetson Narrow Brim hats Vogue and Diplomat, Flagship, Stetsonian, Kashmir......and the Stetson Suede Felt ......oh.....my!! And the Suede Felt is $16.50!
This will be TWO posts to include all the ads!!

Such a great collection. Wonderful to see these. Thanks.

Don't know where else to post this. I tend to stick my collecting to the hats themselves, but I picked this up recently for a price that was just irresistable.
