I believe it to still be an ongoing mystery re Vita-Felt...***
A note about the Vita-Felts because someone asked in an earlier post...
Vita-Felt Process came out in 1940 by Stetson to better compete with Borsalino, at least that is one Historical rumor...
Felt is a Textile produced by Matting, Condensing and Processing Fibres together, Wool, Animal, Acrylic...
I had this over on the Borsalino BrotherHood Threads by mistake so am reposting here...
Here is my recently acquired Vintage 1942 Stetson Stratoliner in Slate Gray... Ultra Light Vita Felt .
it was 7 1/8 and I bumped it out to 7 3/16 almost 7 1/4 and near perfect fit using a Fat Charly's Hat...
Here is my recently acquired Vintage 1942 Stetson Stratoliner in Slate Gray... Extra Light Felt Fur.
it was 7 1/8 and I bumped it out to 7 3/16 almost 7 1/4 and near perfect fit using a Fat Charly's Hat Jack ...fit it into hat at just below top of Sweat Band, snug it up fairly tight, apply Steam...
WOW, that Coat, the Zippered Turtleneck, that head of Salt & Pepper hair, the Mustache and now that really cool hat......you have it all going on.....Looking Great
With some decent Provenance & History data to go along with it.... I would say it's worth at least $1000.00 to a Collector of such WWII items, maybe even more if Presented properly...
Yep of course I did, no problemization there :D I also know that Bolero has a great sense of humo(u)r & would take my comment in the light-hearted manner it was intended.:)
