Royal Stetson 7 3/8 for trade or sale

[warbird]

I hate to get rid of this hat I have had it for so long, but it just doesn't fit.

The felt on it is n great shape, no moth nibbles. It is a beige/taupe color with a hint gold. It is soft enough to hand crease. The only flaw on the hat is the sweat which has a crack on it. The crack has been there since I got it many years ago and has never gotten worse. But I will say I do not wear it in the worst heat so I don't sweat on it. However I can't guarantee the sweat won't need replacing at some point. The felt is nice enough to make it worthwhile to someone who wants a nice OR style vintage Stetson.

It is a 7 3/8 with a 2 3/4" brim. The crown is close to 5".

I would prefer to trade for something in 7 1/8 to a smallish 7 1/4. Would like something around a 2 1/2" brim, open to color and open to ribbon though a nice wide ribbon would be good. Definitely prefer a vintage hat. The sweat makes it worth a bit less, but it is a fine example of a vintage stetson felt.

The crack does not go all the way through, it's not a tear. The last pic it looks like the sweat is messed up at the bottom of the crack, it isn't it's just reflection of light from a the slight crease made by the crack.

Definitely not in perfect shape, the sweat is in decent shape, it has some rigidity to it in places and is still soft in other places.

I apologize but I have decided to keep my hat and explore the possibility of replacing the ribbon instead. Good luck.

do you go by the alter ego Warbird?

Now I'm really confused. [huh]

 

[warbird]

Now I'm really confused. [huh]

Me too. I think Viper meant to put this in a pm because he sent me a pm saying he might be interested then decided to simply replace the ribbon on his hat. Mine is still available, no deal has been finalized. If you are interested let me know.

Sorry, I had originally posted that I was interested in a trade with Warbird but have since rescinded my offer. I suppose I should have left the original post when I edited it. Again, I apologize for the confusion.

Still available. A couple of people expressed interest but then never sent pics of the hats they wanted to trade.

If no interest by the end of e the week I will put it on ebay. I know about what they have been getting on ebay and with the sweat being in less than pristine shape I would be willing to sell it for a bit less. I really would just like it to go to a lounger who I know would wear it and enjoy it. If that person doesn't exist now I will ebay it and buy something else.
