The six cord ribbon is sharp... what is that doodad at the bow?

It's a longhorn head on a horseshoe. I've never see it before on a Stetson, maybe added by the original owner. The hat is originally from a store in San Diego.

Mystery solved!

Wow, thanks Vic! Actually, it could be older, I have an $18 price on the size tag. Maybe previous year's model?

Perry, is yours a 3.5" brim? If so, it's a good look for you.

Actually it's 2 7/8. I don't think I could ever pull off a greater than 3' brim, not like Joao. That may be why the sticker price is lower than the one Vic found?

Here you go

Jeez. You're incredible.

Interesting to see these 3Xs bust out of the fifteen dollar category.

 

[hatophile]

Dang Vic, I am impressed. I thought it was 2 7/8, hard to tell with the roll. When I got it, the brim was all wonky, but after I steamed it, went right into the roll.
So I guess I got the "Junior" size.

Nice!

Have to cover that pricey sterling silver long horn pin!

To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't have spent a penny on that hat before the scandal.

Funny thing is - he has better and more pics than a lot of so called "vintage " fedora's that get sold on Epay!

Collectors item!!

Not sure what to say... but thank you!

Great looking Stetson Hatophile. Amazing the pin stayed with it all these years.

Last night I sent a message to one of those sellers who seem to think, well I'm not sure what they're thinking. You know, the $500 hat (for something that might go for around $50-$75. I mentioned that it was a nice hat and that it would sell in a lower price range, I think I said something like 40-50$ range. I actually wouldn't even go that high for the this hat. They didn't respond but this morning the price was cut in half. Still a laughable amount but some progress was made I guess. I just get tired of seeing those listings. They do give me a good laugh though.

I think the give us all a good Laugh at time but so do those who bite at the selling price. I message a few and found my self blocked from one who end his listing with zero sale the other did the same as you adjusted the price down and made a sale.I did get Thank you from them later. I say about 4 or 5 of my hats I got last year I got because i made offer and gave them a clear ideal that was trying to be helpful. Ebay sellers that sell high and dream of making it big just don't seem to care but there are few that are open minded some times.
