Stockman-Farmer Spring & Summer 1935
Interesting, oil silk sweat barriers in 1943 at no extra charge, and that the most expensive hat in the catalog is Stetson's new 25 quality for $25. No mention of beaver content, guess it was assumed to be substantially beaver. Royal quality for $10, 3X Beaver for $15, and then the new $25 quality. I'm speculating that during this time frame a 3X Beaver meant 1/3rd beaver content in a really fine quality fur blend. A few decades later and a 3X (no mention of beaver) might not have any beaver content at all.
