Stetson invoice from 1929

The Stetson invoice from 1929 is particularly interesting because before 1928 Stetson did not sell to retailers. They sold to wholesalers only.

I could see someone (not you) on here wanting to replace the silver cord.

Recently while making a stop at Shepler's for jeans, I spied this t-shirt on the sale rack, couldn't pass it up for less than $10!

Since I rarely wear tees while out and about, I haven't worn it yet. Seems like it'd match my straw Whippet nicely.

This vintage Stetson Christmas gift box was a gift to me from a very good friend.

Talk about a holy grail.....

I like how the company is still making their classic Stetson, with the open crown, what a beaut. The only thing I do not like is the brim length and the ribbon. But still the heritage of the hat is wonderful.

First used by Stetson, in 1921, as a poster in a national ad campaign. First used in head wear in May 1948. (from US Patent Office)

OK, so it's a hat and not stuff, but this isn't your father's Stetson.

Thanks to Baron Kurtz for pointing this one out to me.

I remember a hat like that selling on ebay, but I can't remember if it had the same brim treatment.
