Early 1960s Stetson Vita Felt II Black Homburg - 7 1/4 Interesting

[Redfokker]

Stetson Homburg 7 1/4 - an odd ball from the early 1960s. Stetson has brought back the "Vita Felt" name whenever they need a new marketing ploy. The early 1960s brought a new DuPont finish/water proofing process that needed a "hook". They put Vita Felt on the front of the sweat band and pumped up the advertising. Rather a nice Homburg, special liner with the typical 60s black sweat band. Really a nice hand to the felt, smooth and pliable. The sweat has some white staining, have not tried to get it clean, but should not be a problem. Thinning the herd a little, raising funds for my new custom from Mike Miller. $60 plus $15 shipping.

Thank you, sir, a beautiful hat!
It's really obvious to see how and where Stetson cut corners with their latest designs.
Shame on them.
