Very very nice Greg!
Thanks, Rick. If I remember correctly, you and I communicated before I bought this hat. It's your fault!

Yes, that is correct. The professionals would call me an "enabler"! So, how do you like it? The case looks great too!

I do see the insert now and then ... I'll keep you posted
there was one in a very beat up case at a vintage store near me ... maybe I'll take a ride to see if it is still there
I love it, Rick. Fit, finish, sweat and all the materials are top notch. It's just that 60's era stiffness they transitioned to. Love to have a soft one. The case is in great shape. Still have a key.
Thanks, Ant. An insert find would be sweet.

Beautiful hat BB! And I still long for one in my size.
Old cases do frequently show up empty of hats at Cowboy & Western memorabilia auctions. If you find a nice one with leather tooling on the cover, I'm your man.

You might send a private message to Buler... I believe he was making replacements from plexiglas some years back.

Bumping the thread:
Late 50’s Stetson 100
Looks great... would love some additional photos of the inside markings if you have a chance.

Great! Glad you like it. I have a couple of early 60s 100s and they both are much more stiff than the late 50s model I recently acquired. The felt on the older one is much more soft and malleable than the other two, but the other ones are still amongst my favorites!
Will do Alan!
Thanks, Alan.
Yes, I was making some. I still have some of the material left. It's a very time consuming process. If someone wants to try it on their own, I can measure the acrylic strips which were exact dimensions to originals that I had. I don't know when I'll find enough spare time to make any more of these.
Here was the thread on these, of course the pics are gone (stupid photobucket). http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/stetson-100-box-inserts.42807/

Ya know, what we need is somebody who is good with a 3d printer. Making repro supports that way would be super easy.

Here you go Alan:
Great to see... thank you. A Stetson 100 with a keyhole size tag is a cool find.

Alan, would you concur regarding my estimation of it being a late 50s vintage from the keyhole size tag? I have never seen a 100 with a keyhole size tag either. I appreciate your kind remarks!

The Stetson 100s I have owned were all square black size labels which I assign to the 1960s. I'm not versed enough in the late keyhole tag era to know if it is late fifties or early 1960s, but I think late 1950s sounds much more sexy. I'd go with that. Lounge member MichaelShane had a hankering for the Stetson 100 - I believe he had some earlier examples with keyhole size tags. Carouselvic might have or know of others.
