Not bad, but not great. It does shape easy and seems to hold whatever crease I attempt.

Stetson 4X Beaver Big Piney with 5” wide brim. This is off to eBay because it’s too small for me, so probably the only time I’ll wear it.

Somehow reminiscent of the Flying Nun.

Agreed. If I was keeping it I would definitely shape it differently.
Are you by chance a size 7 1/2?

6 7/8! That’s not even fair. I’d have 500 vintage hats if I was that size. Maybe in my next life.

Spend time in the Amazonian and other South American rain forests and you may come back with your head shrunk.
A possible problem is it will be the size of a large orange, so not many vintage hats will fit after all.

Many thanks to @deadlyhandsome for very kindly passing along this mystery Stetson body. One cell red tag, so maybe 40's? Still working on getting that perfect sweat band join. I will put a liner in at some point, but it is a wearable hat again. Forest green, 5 1/2", 3" brim. The hand of the felt feels very slightly less fine than some of my other hats. It reminds me of a nutria quality Stetson I had, which also had a one cell red tag.
The ribbon treatment is interesting. I don't know how it got into this configuration, because it's a bit funky. Has that thin band, would that make it 1ply ribbon? No bow to speak of, but tied off in two places, a bit forward from the standard position. The other weird thing is that there's a twist in the band in front and on the back of the hat. The underside of the band, which is not sun faded, shows out. And it's tacked this way to the hat! I could imagine the band breaking and someone tying it that way, but having the unfaded parts showing? I can't picture how that would happen accidentally. Kinda reminds me of barbed wire.

Out for HH under a Knox American Royal made for the Saddle and Sirloin Club. A clone of the Arninto.
