Sorry, but they are a 7 1/8th (have another one in a lighter color).

Moon - Awesome Gannon/Stetson. Beautiful condition.

Knotten - That was you!!! You didn't say and I wasn't paying attention. Darn. Glad you like the hat!!


Drats! 7 1/8 just does not cut it. We will have to fatten you up to a 7 1/2 so we can bargain some of your hats our way! Haha!

Love both of those two hat right there! And if you have a Caddy that old, sea foam green,...you are cruising in style! My Husband had a 59 Elvis Caddy, he hated when it was given to him, so it went to his older Sister...that Pink Caddy two door convertible....now..he could kill himself for not having it! Had the split window vette when he joined the Navy and sold that for a measly $2,000.00! As Archie Bunker would sing..."those were the days"....

Big ol' box came today:







Big hat! Special edition Stetson Boss Raw Edge from JJ Hat Center in undyed "natura" felt. 4" brim with kettle curl. It came to me creased, so I don't know the open crown height, but it's at least 6". Wide 2" ribbon with fray. Also has a nice 2" leather sweatband and last drop liner.

My one nit pick off the bat is that there's really no special markings for the 150th. The Boss Raw Edge stamp on the sweat is nice however. And oh, of course, the dreaded hatco signature fishing line tacking stitches....

The felt is a nice western weight felt that has a nice melange that borders on a heathered look. No idea what the composition is, no X markings either. The brim is nice and stiff but the crown is decently soft. A little bit of steam and I got the front of the brim to dip a little. They used a really nice block on this one that really does remind me of those early Stetsons. With the deep crease the front ends up with some 'reverse taper' when viewed in profile.

Service from JJ was great. I had ordered a 56 off their website, although they had actually sold the last one in store. Claire offered me the 57 with some sizing strips and the understanding that I could return it for a full refund if it didn't work out. Well, with the strips in it fits decently well, so I guess I'll go ahead and keep it....I mean come on, did you really think I was going to send it back? ;-)

I'd actually say it's probably the nicest modern Stetson I've laid hands on...although the felt is apparently "vintage" (says Mr. Deckard on Instagram). It's definitely calling out for some kind of accoutrements. Big pheasant feather? Beaded or horsehair hat band? Decisions, decisions....

Finally I came across of a Monza hat, home in ancient days of the woll italians hats.

It was made probably in the late forties or early fifties than the Cappellificio Monzese closed the doors definetevly

The felt is all wool very well made

Color of the medium felt is a deep blue, almost black

It is a 60 cm. (7 1/2 USA)

The proportions are: 6cm. curled and bounded brim with a crown at 11 cm. Ribbon is 4 cm.
It came from the vintage EU market. A nice discovery of a not so well known chapter of the Italian hats production
