Stetson 3X Beaver - Steel Grey
Stetson 3X Beaver Quality - Steel Grey (1950s ?)
6 inch open crown - rakish 5 to 4 inch as shaped
1 7/8 Black Grosgrain Ribbon with Box Bow treatment.
2 1/8 brim with 1/8 accented bound edge
After a much appreciated nudging by @M Hatman I decided to pull the trigger on this Stetson 3X Beaver Quality (along with a short brimmed Strat) We are estimating mid 1950s on this one. When it arrived the nearly 6 inch open crown looked almost freakish with the short brim. But I think I managed to settle on a shape I like here. The Steel grey felt has some blue tones is real nice dense and smooth... I would say very similar to my 50s whippet In quality. And it has GILLs! Very nice hat over all.
