Seller accepted my $75 offer on this 10x Stetson.
Cool find, jared. I've always thought of them more as early 70's but with that size tag, who knows? I like the setup on that one. I've been curious about them so I'm looking forward to your review.

Still a good one Jared. I’d call 45-55 yr old late vintage.Seller accepted my $75 offer on this 10x Stetson.

Maple leaf on the liner crest, and looks like a 50's/60's LO tag, but no clue really on this one. 10x? Seems more modern maybe?
Yes, you did!I posted this on the Stratoliner Society thread, but was so excited, I had to post over here too. Only my second vintage hat and I think I hit a home run.... 1941 Stratoliner with original box and papers:

I have sinned, me brothers! [emoji33]
It was for science, though. I really want to know if they have good felt. I wasn't going to pay $1200, but 375 was alright. At least this one isn't burned or patched, and taking off the match will be easy. I hope it won't turn me into a pyromaniac.

I think the 10X dates to the time after Stetson sold in the 1970's & before the bankruptcy in 1986. That was the era when the Stetson brand was sold for anything from sunglasses, cologne & whiskey.Thanks gents. The specs look like something I like and the price was decent, so why not? From the photos the felt looks fairly thin but we'll see when it gets here.

Ah! A practical mind!Just light it!
Congratulations. That’s a nice 1950s Mallory.Finally got my first Mallory in the mail yesterday. I’m still looking for a pre-Stetson, but couldn’t pass this one up for $50. Super condition with the exception of a few tiny moth bites. I’m not sure if this thing has ever been worn or even bashed.
Just have a simple dry bash for now till I have time to break out the steamer. Love the color and the style, and the ‘Pliafelt’ is very light. Reminds me of the Stratoliner felt.
