Here’s one I haven’t seen before. It’s a nice Stetson The Sovereign Twenty suede finish in an ice blue color that I love. The felt it soft and easily dry creases. The open crown is approximately 5 1/2 inches and the brim is 2 5/8 inches. It has a braided self-felt band that I haven’t seen on a Twenty before. It also has a new-to-me brim edge treatment. It isn’t the expected felted (Cavanagh/Mode) edge: the edge is capped in a matching piece of felt which gives it an overwelt and underwelt look. The seam of the cap is at the back of the hat and not overly obvious.

Thanks, Dave. The “couple sizes bigger” refrain is one I’ve heard myself mutter a lot.

Stetson The Sovereign Twenty. Mode/felted edge, 6” open crown and 2 3/4” wide brim. Guessing mid-1950s.

Is the open crown really only 5 inches?

Good eye Brent -- it's 5-1/2" (I edited the above post).

 

[BobHufford]

Very nice!

Thanks Dave! I hope the eBay "watchers" think so too.

 

[Rmccamey]

I like that style, Bob.
