Stetson Severn heather felt. Made under license in England. I'm a bit unsure about the ribbon to be honest. It may need to be changed at some point. Overwelt brim at 6cm and crown 11 cm at the center dent. The felt has the softness that's common with these heather felts.

Hi Stefan, I keep going back to this hat because of the heather felt. I understand your apprehension regarding the ribbon. It's unique. I have been thinking about it and if it were my hat...., I would choose one, or the other, of the colors of the original hat band. There are two primary colors. Both colors would work for me. Using both colors would become busy and distractive. A thinner ribbon is better than a thicker, bulky ribbon. It's my personal opinion that the felt should be the star of the show and not the ribbon. Simplicity is the ultimate in sophistication.

I got this Stephen L Stetson, I know some of the story:Stephen L. Stetson was a grandnephew of John B. Stetson, and an independent hatter in New York City, during the first half of the 20th century. The John B. Stetson company eventually sued in January of 1934 and made a case for copyright infringement, from which point you see the notice “In no way related to the Stetson Hat Company of Philadelphia" on the company’s label."


I can see " Never connected in any way wiz J.B Stetson" on liner,
but these words:"never connected in any way" are in a very dark color,
I think S.L.Stetson is tricky, hahah. Especially the logo pin on bow is totally same as J.B.stetson.
I'm interesting in this brand, If any story of this brand please add.

Anyway, hat is beautiful.

Dug this Wormser out of the linen closet at my parents house. It belonged to my step-mothers father. He was a WWII veteran of the 86th Engineer Battalion, Heavy Pontoon,. We was wounded twice during the Battle of the Bulge. He was a great man and role model. I am proud to own it!
