Stetson One-Hundred

[alanfgag]

Here is a 1960s era One-Hundred. It come with the original case with acrylic inserts and lock keys. This hat was never sold to a consumer... it has no store imprint or owner initials. It was unworn when I received it and has been worn by me once or twice. Size is 7 1/8. The felt is moldable and the brim flexible enough to be snapped up or down easily. While the overall condition is as new, there are two marks on the felt at the top of the crown. The camera shows them and I would say accentuates them more prominently than they appear in person... but the felt is so smooth and pristine that they are noticeable. The case has a couple of very light white scuffs. than these notes, the condition is as new.

$390 plus shipping cost.

If I only had a smaller noggin...or this was a 7 3/8 L/O- we'd both be happy. Great hat!

My oh my, REAL precious felt for less than what some doggy's cost PLUS a carrying case. Glad I'm rational and wouldn't consider a bit of a stretch to fit. This can't last long.

Thanks... hoping to get this hat out in the light of day. The price is less than what I paid.

That sir is a mouth watering hat if I ever saw one. The chances of me finding one in that condition with a case in that condition in a 7 5/8 is about as good as us balancing the budget in the U.S. this year!

Alan,

That is a beautiful hat and should sell quickly. I would love to find a case like that for mine. Best of luck with it.

Not so sure about you but he'd be happy because you and I would be in a bidding war.... What a beaut!

Beautiful hat!
How is a Stetson 100 different than a Stratoliner ot a Stetson 20?

 

[jlee562]

The Stetson 100 was the most expensive hat Stetson produced at the time. Like the 7x Clear Beaver hats the 100s are pure, undyed silverbelly felt. They also came in those really nice locking leather cases.

 

[alanfgag]

A Stetson 100 was priced at $100 in the 1950s. The 7X Clear Beaver was $50, the Stetson 25 was $25 and the 3X Beaver Quality was $15. When the Stratoliner was first sold in 1941, it cost $6.50 - the Playboy, $5.

This hat was manufactured in the 1960s. If you could the same hat from Stetson today, inflation alone would bring it over $700. Unfortunately you can't.
