Royal Stetson Playboy vs Stetson Royal Delux
Both hats are a Block 122. The hats are almost identical except the brim on the Royal Delux has a 2 3/4" under welt edge with a single row of sitiching and the Royal Stetson Playboy has a 2 1/2" raw edge with a single row of stitching. The felt on the Delux is also denser. The liner on the Royal Delux has a purple oilskin liner cover with a off white liner which I have not seen before. I think both are 40s era Stetsons with the Royal Delux being the older of the two! The Royal Delux is a size 7 but it fits like a 7 1/8 which is my normal size.
