Great embroidered liner on a great hat Jim. My World’s Finest has the same logo but not embroidered and with a gold background inside the logo. The liner on mine is also not pleated. I think all that would indicate that your’s is probably older. Wish we had more info on them.

Catalina, swapped the funky ribbon for a horsehair. I think I need a beaded band but I hate to buy one I can’t see on the hat before I shell out $100 or more for it.
excellent find Jim. The liner logo is just like the tip logo on the unlined one I had, gone on the another lounger a couple of months ago. I believe the white cloth size tag is a clue. That seems to be a pre-Stetson feature or one that was only carried over a short time by Stetson, most likely...
That's a real beauty Mondo. The brim binding is really cool. Definately post Stetson buyout in '46 and the tip protector appears to be oilskin instead of clear plastic so that would put it pre 53.
