OCMH, what a great beautifully preserved Select! What a great color combo as well. And that brim has some serious character

I think there is a time machine you guys are using to go back and buy brand new hats 50 or more years in the past. I NEVER find hats in the pristine unworn shape I see posted here. Short Balding Guy I'm convinced has one under the evergreen tree he uses as hat photo backdrop.

Thanks for the kind words, the felt is thick and the overwelt really helps maintain that swoopy brim curve.

Here's a Stetson Premier Quality that came as a twofer with a Knox Premier Quality as well.

Do you have sweatband and sticker photos of that one?

I think OCMH dialed the "Way-back" machine to 100+ years for these

Always a treat to see some activity in this thread! The recent finds are incredible. I especially like OCMH's new Select Quality.

VERY cool! I have only owned two Premier Quality Stetsons and both were really special. The felt was exceptionally finished

John B. Stetson Company Premier Quality, size 6 7/8 from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg, Germany hat collection. This hat was sold by Willy Olfers Dortmund same shop as the fantastic G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. "Zenit". Unfortunately the ribbon / bow is missing but otherwise it's in fantastic condition. It's very rare to come across an old German market Stetson.
