Stetson Surplus

[Hurricane Jack]

Stetson 3X Quality with back bow ribbon in what I would call spruce green, just a little less blue than blue grass green. The true color is hard to photograph with just an iPad digital camera. The Mode Edge brim is 2-1/8" wide, ribbon is 1-7/8" wide & sweatband is 1-7/8" wide.

HJ, kind of looks like that brim was cut down. A Mode Edge wouldn't normally have any hint of stitching. Curious. Great hat in a very cool color just the same

Thanks Tommy. I thought it had been rolled & those were crimp marks, not stitches. No sign of stitching or crimping from the bottom.

Even more curious.

Not the Mode Edge or the SELV-EDGE, it's most likely the Cavart Edge:

"The overwelt is first glued down, then stitched to hold it in place, and once the glue has cured, the stitches are removed."

"On Stetsons I have with a Mode-Edge the edge looks like a Cav-Edge, i.e., a smooth transition from the folded edge to the brim as it was felted together. On the other hand, one I came across last week with a Selv-Edge had an edge that looked like an overwelt edge without the stitching. The edge of the brim did not appear to be felted back into the brim at all, no smooth transition. Just the felt folded over and secured down somehow. "

Cheers,

"This could be an "Ah ha!" moment. Was the Selv-Edge you saw a later model hat? That could explain the revival of the Selv-Edge name by applying it to a "stuck edge" hat. Same as the revival of "Cavart Edge" was applied to a stuck edge hat. The overwelt is first glued down, then stitched to hold it in place, and once the glue has cured, the stitches are removed."

Even though many pictures are missing, this thread has some great Stetson eye candy. 7 year bump.

Thanks for this B... don't believe I've ever seen this thread before, though I own some of the hats. ;^)

Then I don't feel so bad. I had never seen it before, either.

Are you sure? I see posts in this thread from you in 2015.

I MUST admit, I have trouble remembering last week...let alone all the threads here.......
I too keep "seeing for the first time" threads I too have responded to years ago.....

I used to claim I'd only seen the Kinks once. One day, I was going through old ticket stubs and it turns out I've seen them four times.

Go figure.
