YupYeah, I tend to agree with ya there, fedoracentric.

Well, I was watching an auction for a Stetson from the 1960s that I wasn't aware they sold. The auction is over now, (And it didn't sell because they wanted far too much) so here are the photos...
It is a Stetson 200!
I never saw a "200" before.
The sweatband is too faded, but it looks like Xs over the words "two hundred." This may have been the start of when Stetson really made the Xs meaningless?
But NOT for the $800 they thought they should get!! Ha, ha.Could be a nice looking hat.
When I glanced at the photo of the 200, I thought there was a huge stain on the felt. It was only after I reached for my reading glasses (getting old sucks) that I noticed someone had attached a feather duster to the hat.
That suitcase looks like a Stetson 100 suitcase with something covering the Stetson 100 logo on the inside of the top.
We may never know, but that hat may have come from Hollywood..."Huggie Bear's" hat from Starsky and Hutch!That could be a nice looking hat without the feather and a different ribbon. With a different ribbon or maybe a horsehair band and a little tweaking of the crown it could have the look of a western style Homburg.
That was the first thought I had, too!"Huggie Bear's" hat from Starsky and Hutch!
