Moon... that Stetson is worth it for the ''Sheriff'' pin alone!
I have been looking for one of those pins for years.

If it were trimmed, for a Cavanagh Edge of the period, it would be almost or right at a 3-inch brim, and we've seen some of those. It's more common to see trimmed edges, than a raw edge on any era of Cavanagh hat. If it said "Cavanagh Edge" on the front of the sweatband, that's the dead giveaway that it would have been trimmed. However, this is the period where that begins to show up, in 1952, so the hat could have been produced with a Cavanagh Edge before then and we'd never know. It's hard to know for sure. It could very well have come from the factory that way.

I didn't even notice it honestly

I'll gladly give it to you if you want it

heck... I'll give you the entire hat ... what size are you ?

Something else to consider is that the brim doesn't look like it's ever had a flange. Perhaps that is just from having a rough life, but it could be evidence of a trim. Cavanagh Edge hats were not flanged, because the felted edge created its own natural flange. I can imagine it looks extremely relaxed after being trimmed.

Half Price Paulie Awesome Hat Dealer !

Hello Gang I have to tell you a story that recently happen to me on Ebay.

I bought a hat from Half Price Paulie ,a brand new hat in the box ,that just like the sellers name was half price off.
However when the hat arrives even though it was a " waverely " the style of the hat it was the wrong hat and color .
I ordered a brown one and a black one arrived ?

I told Paulie about it and instead of getting a hassle, like him being pissed off or something like that ,you know like him being less that a gentleman he stated to me " hey my mistake ,consider the black hat a gift , I dont want to burden you with having to rewrap it ,pay for shipping and the hassle of having to go to the post office and returning it , so just keep it and in fact I'm going to send you the one you originally bought second day air " !

I am telling you guys ,you cant go wrong with this E Bay seller , never have I had someone do something like that ,I got two new ,in the box hats for the price of one just because he made a mistake , this is my idea of a stand up guy !
I would highly recommend that you check out his online store this guy is the bomb !

So something strange happened to me today.
I had ordered a Disney hat box for a Disney hat that I have and it showed up with this Stetson cowboy hat in it .
There was no hat in any of the pictures of the box and the price would never suggest a hat was included.
I'm thinking the hat was in the box and whoever shipped it out left it in by mistake.
The hat is not really my style but what the hell .

Now that would be a surprise for me getting a hat box with a free western inside.

Borsalino 58 size bought during a deal with some others hats.

It was made for the USA market and sold some years ago in Canton (Ohio) I guess

The color is "butter" and the shape is not so common in Europe

Stiff felt for a Borsalino and some very elegant finishes.

I'm not the best man for this brims so pardon me if the shape is not "correct"

It crossed the Atlantic but since it is not my size and taste it needs a new home

I say:
Have you considered returning the Hat and stating it was sent in error...???

 

[Frunobulax]

Nice, Daniele. I'm a 58 and only a few hours from Canton. I could take it home...

I actually did ... they said that was the hat that came in the box when they got it so they left it

funny that they didn't include it in the pictures and the auction was for a "Disney hat box"

Righteous, Moon. It was meant to be. Try it this weekend?!

it's not really me ... plus it's a bit snug being a 7 1/8

if anyone is 7 1/8 and likes westerns hit me up

 

[Strapped-4-Cache]

If I hadn't just picked up a tan western... If it were black or silver, I'd be all over it. Still need one of those for an outfit in a few months.
