No 1 and Standard were both introductory level hats.......Standard Quality was dropped after the 30's for the "Royal" line.......3X was used for both dress and western....was a grade above Royal Deluxe in the 40's through the mid-60's.......it all went to hell in the late 60's.......today it is largly western crap!What I didn’t know is that the Number 1 used to be a mid-range hat and in later incarnations it was their lowest grade. Same thing happened with “3X Beaver.”
