Stetson No. 1 Quality

[StoryPNW]

Just received my Stetson No. 1 Quality I'm thinking early 50s based on the logo with the stars. I have been wanting a hat like this for a while. Unfortunately it doesn't have a liner any more, but with a little brushing and steam it came right back into shape. It could probably use a good cleaning and the sweat band is a little worse for the wear at the seam but all things considered it's in pretty good shape. It has between a 5 3/4 and 6 inch open crown and a 3 1/2 inch brim.

Sadly, I had to replace the sweat.

Yes, I do.

I’d try working some double sided fabric tape behind that split seam to shore it up some.

Thanks, I'll try that. I was wondering if there was something I could do besides sending it off.

Nice! I've never seen that extra long oval tag before, a great piece of Stetson ephemera.

First time for me as well.
