    I tell ya what. It’s hard to pull off a bowler for most. You make it look too easy. That alone should justify every one you collect

    True! Good observation. Thank you for the compliment. Also, incredible how such small details go into dating these hats. What would us newcomers do without TFL?!

    Thanks Joe!!! Just added 2 more photos of the logo. I kinda like the ribbon they added! Neat look.

    Got a great deal on this (1940s?) Stratoliner with large box. A really beautiful grey/blue color. Can’t wait to wear this out!

    Hatbox Homage

    woah, yes. Mine definitely did not come with a “one hundred” and I wish it did! Thanks for sharing those photos. Looks like the case makes sense for the hat! Shame about the discoloration issue. I have 2 S100 cases, one with the plastic holder and one without. I was hoping to keep hats in them...

    Eric, thank you very much for taking the time to comment on my arrangement. I try to keep my essentials organized. I try to stay inspired, this is just one of my many odd ways of doing so. Appreciate you sir!

    Hatbox Homage

    Here’s something quite interesting that I came across. Someone was selling this box along with an old Cavanagh Homburg. The hat itself is nothing special and also has holes (bummer). The box on the other hand, possibly a bit more valuable. Looks very much like the early S100 and 7x boxes but...

    If it makes you feel any better, the old crease lines actually give it some adventure-wear. Adds some character to it. I think you rock it but still, I feel your frustration through the post. I wish it had turned out better for you. Again, I think you look great in it.

    Pre- 1940s Stetson dress hats.

    Here is a photo of the stamp, Im, pretty sure this is the only one on there. No sign of a LOT number like my older nutria hats as @alanfgag mentioned! Thank you for assisting with this mystery! There's much on TFL that I have missed, being a new member. Thank you for pulling things out of the...

    Thank you! It originally came with a cattleman but I changed it up with an okayish bash!

    I sure will. I’ve been really bad about cross posting here in TFL. I need to commit to sitting down and putting things where they belong. Thank you everyone for the compliments and help. Really means a lot to me.

    Haha Thank you! I was thinking it could be... but then again, the box is possibly from the 40’s. BUT I don’t think it goes with this hat. There’s a piece of tape on the box that says “light grey hat” and this is far from that shade!

    Just got this one in the mail. Can someone help me date it? Stetson 3x long hair beaver. It’s very soft, malleable, and has a block size 7 1/8 but fits 7 1/4. From Chicago. It’s a fun one! Came in the Royal box

    More snow here in Jersey, another nutria quality to catch the flakes. I think that’s what kettle curls are for, no? Hope all are staying well!

    STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY

    Ah dang, I’m sorry to hear about that. I hope one comes your way soon. I just put a tear drop in the crown. I’ll probably mix it up over time. It sits so lightly on my head, I forget I’m wearing it. I can see why it would be high in demand. I’m happy that you all approve so much of this addition...
