No tags with metric in the 60's for Stetson's in the USA and no 10x's until after factory shutdown in 70's.
Ignoring data because you can't even read it isn't good debate form either.
This does not tell me what others like Churchill did, though. It also does not change the fact that my Stetson 10X has a price tag of over $1,000.
Would you post pictures of the interior and price tag of your 10X, please. This seems to be an anomaly. I wonder if the hat was sold in another country whose currency is called dollar, but whose dollars were less valuable than US dollars?
I would be cautious about the relationship of the price ticket to the hat.
As for the $1050, I have seen price tags like these for the per-dozen wholesale cost, which are sometimes left in hats, especially on deadstock.
How do you like the hat? Is the felt and the build quality much the same as the other Open Road style hats you have?
The 10X is a tad stiff compared to earlier 100s and 7Xers I have, however, the felt has a very, very nice feel to it. The fit is good for me, too. I actually find this hat to be far superior to the 7X I had of the same era. In fact, that 7X (which I've since gotten rid of) didn't seem like anything special at all. But this 10X is a very nice hat. I like it quite a lot.
