Early 1940's Vita -Felt. Not worth much....... just kidding
Vita -Felt was produced by Stetson from ( roughly) 1942 to 1945. They are great hats... your Uncle is a lucky man. Lots of factors determine the worth though.I tried to get him to sell it to me, but not go, then tried to get him to leave it to me in his will. It's a bit small for me. Can hat brims be stretched? By the way. I know nothing about hats. How do you tell what size you wear?
Also, any guess how much it would go for. My uncle would be tickled pink.
Thanks,
He wears it well;very nice and rare hat.Hi Folks
Went to a family event where my uncle was wearing this Stetson. He didn't know much about it. I know nothing about hats.
Can anyone tell what this is?
Thanks.

Can't find one like it on ebay.
It's the name. I'm not against them.OK, Jao, maybe 3" to 4" brim.
Not ready to drop too much on a hat. Gotta study it some more first. If it isn't too much to ask could you send me a link to a similar one on ebay, or even Stetson. Gotta try some first before before I contact Art. I think I am 7 3/8 but not sure. Been wearing the same tweed news boy hat for 25 years. Speaking of which what is a good name for one of those?If money is no object (or, your budget goes to $400), I'd send those pictures and the Stetson ads to Art Fawcett, and pick a felt color. There are lots of hats in a similar style on ebay, though judging by the ads, it originally had a relatively deep flange.
