c.1940s (?) Does not have the original liner, and sweat is extremely fragile in spots. Hat is unreeded, and carries a rae edge. The stetson crest has the stars instead of the 50s leaf.
The felt color is a light olive green, with a grey/green ribbon & bow. This is the first playboy I've handled, and i think it is a nice start.

Justin your new Playboy is a grand colored felt. Olive - very cool find. Edge and ribbon are question marks. Regardless wear the hat, it looks great.

Justin's post reminds me that I would like to share my new unlined vtg.Stetson Playboy in brown. The light weight felt is magnificent. A true pleasure to wear.

Thanks sir. The ribbon is unique for my Playboy hat rack. The ribbon treatment is similar to a vtg. Royal De Luxe Stetson Stratoliner I have. Pics below for reference.

A more normal ribbon treatment is like the pic of the blue or silverbelly Playboys below.

Mine all have the standard one inch ribbon like the others you posted. I've never seen one with the Royal Deluxe ribbon until now. I like it!

Outstanding Justin. I agree with Doug about that profile view. It definitely has a "story" waiting to be told.

honestly, if i keep it, it'll probably get a replacement sweat. dont want to chance this one.. it fits as a 7 1/8, and fits me perfectly

Color somewhat resembles the "college" hat to the right on the ad
