This ad with a thin ribbon OR is 1948.....
This hat is from a 1937 Stockman-Farmer.....note the model "Kingsway" has a 5 1/2 inch crown with narrow ribbon and windcord as well as 2 1/2 inch narrow bound brim. and here is an image for an early 20's booklet "Stetson Staple Shapes"......the...

Hear no evil.....see no evil........hear no evil......see no evil.....;)
Glad you changed your mind. Up-sizing two sizes would definitely change this awesome hat too much....
But of course can anyone any more even wear a 6...
Fruno,
Not personally at all my friend...;) I just don't like "muddied waters" as they say....and this thread IS all about the thin ribbon clones. I DO love seeing everybody's hat.....just in their proper place. We have a LOT of newbies getting into vintage and they need to know "what is...
Here is my latest addition.....a (80's?) OR clone......with simply awsome thin, supple, finely finished felt. Can almost blow a crease into it. Everytime I pick it up, the crease changes a little.........did not know they made them this nice in the later years, when over here, they were...

Here is a sort of Stratoliner/OR clone.....though much more a Strat.....with the crown blocking and ribbon treatment. It is NOS and simply flawless.....
Only differance is it only has a 2 1/8 inch brim.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
In real life it is very much a medium grey/ blue.
Out side the...
You guys are just killing with these......I would soooo love to find ANY German Stetson in my size let alone one of these Strats..........
All I can say is WOW!!!

Here is another sort of Stetson OR/Stratoliner clone. More Stratoliner really because of the crown blocking and ribbon configuration. Sort of a clone as it has only a 2 1/8 inch brim!:eek::eek::eek:
In real life it is a medium grey/blue...............it was NOS and has the heavy gold liner...
I will say those early 1930's wide crown ribbon OR's did not have a bound edge. And by those standards of all OR simular hats from all periods, ANY hat could qualify as an OR clone..........and I do not think that is really the intention of this thread which is clearly interested in the now...
