I found this 2011 Stetson catalogue on the website of a hat company in spain (www.isesa.es) I liked the comic book style. The hats... I don't know. I guess this is their catalogue for the European market...

I believe ISESA makes some hats for Stetson Europe which is owned by F. W. Schneider GmbH & Co. KG.

I believe the AB people are also using ISESA to make their factory model Indy hat.

some nice caps like the Hatteras cap alot.

But for the price I could get a couple of Hat People caps. An they don't all the fabric choices as they do in Europe.

Surprise super-size not for the average pocket.

The lady passenger seems to be enjoying a cocktail? applying makeup?

I guess if you're a hat company, you have to make what the customers are buying, no matter what.

OOOhhh I like that one!

7x

Is every Stetson 7x hat a "clear beaver?" Or are there 7x Stetsons that are not clear beaver quality? Also, does a clear beaver hat say that on the sweat band?

 

[Lefty]

No. If it doesn't say CB on the sweat, it's not a CB. Look at the CB thread in my signature.

 

[rlk]

There are Post-Philly Stetsons that are 7X, fairly nice felt but not Clear Beaver--I've only seen Westerns.

 

[danofarlington]

Thank you then. You have saved me a purchase. I see 7x Western hats on E Bay, but the descriptions don't say clear beaver. If every 7x was automatically a clear beaver I would get one (one like Alanfgag), but if they're not that, I won't bother. I thought it might be easier to land a 7x clear beaver in a Western hat since they seem to have less demand than fedoras.
