The STETSON WAY, Advertising and ephemera of the Golden Era
A bit late for this thread really......but it does give some interesting historical perspective.....from a 1964 Miller-Stockman. That Frontiersman has one heck of an interesting crease..... And what the hell did they do to the Longhorn?!?!?!? The world of hats is ever changing...... M -

How do folks react to your hat wearing?
While I always get compliments on my hats this time it was different. I was wearing a "woolsie" Strat clone (Because I can spray that one up with bug spray and not feel bad!) to a fireworks festival. Standing in line for one of those lemonade shake-ups, when the vendor guy, started... -

Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps
Here is pretty new production Stratton 1911. I did not touch the nice factory creases on this one, it is also OD but much brighter green hues than the darker brown hues of the other. Also a fur felt, this one came to me NOS and has the modern soft cloth filled sweat rather than the leather. I... -
Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps
Here is a fairly modern government issue OD fur felt model 1911 made by Stratton sometime in the late 60's I think. All the markings are on the back of the sweat and hard to read, impossible to photograph. Anyway the hat is in great shape with little wear. I tightened up the pinches "Army... -

Here is a new addition I just picked up.....a 14? Size 17 jewel adjusted from 1926. As you can see it has a interesting 14k gold filled case with a February 1925 "shape pat." patent date. Dial exactly emulates the case shape in the hour and seconds painted outlines. The shape really drew me...- M Hatman

Stetson "The Sovereign Twenty"
Yes, that ribbon was the buying point for me......usually the Twenties were very conservative in their ribbon choice.....this rehab was well done....even kept the original keyhole size tag and attached it to the new sweat. Yes, on these old hats the sweats are an often delicate affair....this... -

Derby, Western, Fedora...a Venerable Legend, THE Stetson 3X...BEFORE 1970!!!!
NICE Additions Michael!!!! Your second hat does not appear to be a Longhorn, but rather has had the longhorn clip (it is not a pin actually, but a clip, to attach to the 6 cord thin ribbon the Longhorn came with) added to the ribbon. The second hat in my post IS a longhorn and there is also... -
