Put a date on this Stetson

[Lexybeast]

Hey all,

I've had this for a while- won it on ebay last year for $65, and I've been wondering about its history. It's a great hat, and the one I usually reach for when I want a hat that's a bit more casual, tough, weatherproof, and all that. Anyone know about what year this hat is?

The liner and sweat are consistent with mid-50's.

Here is a 1954 ad for the Custom V -- looks like your brim edge treatment may be different...

Cheers,

Mid '50s.

Mid 50's, sweatband and liner give it away. That texture on the sweat is a dead giveaway, Mallory's of that era had that sweat texture as well.

Thanks everyone. One solid hat, I must say.
