This thread is a perfect example of why lawyers smile a lot.
And they probably pulled their data from… Stetson.com. or is it HatcoExcept the people he bought the hat from did not represent it accurately. It’s listed as fur felt, but it is actually wool felt.

That wasn't how I read the OP which never specified the retailer they bought it from.
@wearinghats yes, I understand you were provided incorrect information from the .com rep. But as they informed you, they are not Stetson as such.
My point was that it's unrealistic to think a $130 hat sized s/m/l is made from beaver felt. Regardless of what you were told. They are just not that inexpensive (unless you are buying second hand), and all the high end hats are offered only in proper sizes.*
Obviously one should be able to trust a brand representative, but in this specific situation, with a $130 hat, that other sites listed it correctly as wool, the .com rep insisting it was beaver should have been a red flag that they had incorrect info or were otherwise misinformed, rather than confirmation. If 9/10 dentists recommended brand x, are you gonna listen to the last one?
*p.s. let me correct myself lest anyone base a purchasing decision on my post, Stetson does offer some 4x wool westerns in proper sizes. But AFAIK, fur felt dress hats are only offered in proper sizes.
That’s right!!I get that you and I would see the red flags of a hat being sized small, medium, large, etc., or for a beaver hat selling so cheap, but if you are new to hats I don’t know if those things ring alarm bells.
I think I’d contact the US Dept. of Commerce and complain that the hat or the advertising was in contravention of the Wool Products Labeling Act of 1939. I’m sure I’d be granted an injunction to order Hat-Co to cease all production. Or I’d drive down to Pro Equine and picket the corporate offices.
That’s right!!

You could supply hats to the goodly number that would like to attend but had no suitable hat to wear!!! I will come if we can go for beers afterwards!I’m already planning the the million man hat wearer’s march on Stetson!

I was under the impression the screen shot was from the Stetson site.
Going back and reading the OP, I see you’re correct. Disregard all that nonsense I was spurting!That wasn't how I read the OP which never specified the retailer they bought it from.
