Is that a date at the top? (1942?)

ScottF said:One last project...
This is one Bill sent me. It started off as a 7 3/8 - soaked and scrubbed it, then 're-formed' on a full-size vintage stretcher to 7 1/4 + 1/16.
BobC said:fftopic: but I'd like to see that one, Scott, if you get a chance. It sounds like a tool I could use. Did it come from the bay or somewhere else?
Thanks.

thunderw21 said:Don't know. Were they still using the white sweatbands by then? The crest seems to be right for the '40s.

Mario said:I said it before over in the Ebay thread and I'll say it again here: This is such a fantastic hat! Sheer, goregeous beauty in what seems to be immaculate condition. You did very, very well with that one. May you wear it with confidence and pride (and I'm sure you will )! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
Mr. Paladin said:thunder21, those are really nice hats. The Imperial Stetson in particular is interesting to me. I thought Imperial was a designation of quality that was fairly modern but I did not know it was also a hat model. I really like it though! :eusa_clap
I love that Sears Stingy, sir!Scott Wood said:I picked up a few hats here and there around the end of the year and I am slowly breaking them out. Someone had posted about a Sears Roebuck and Co. hat they had received and I had replied, thought I would now post pics along with a sweet little Dobbs stingy. The Sears doesn't seem to want to be snapped down in front:

I was thinking of you Ernest when I gave in to it's propensity for frontal lift

ScottF said:Stetson was really funny about that - I have a 1941 catalog that features "The Premier" western model, but then also mentions Premier quality hats. Very confusing.
