The Stetson One-Hundred "100"

[Just Daniel]

College Basketball. It is a reference to the NCAA single elimination tournament, thus “one and done”. Get one loss, and you’re done with the tournament; get one hat and you’re done with the buying competition.

Bowen is saying that system works for basketball but not for buying 100s!

I intend to wear my 100s all the time.

Thanks! I read all your posts on the 100s and am in agreement.

And I wear these all the time, I am in a constant fight maintaining them

Good thoughts... everyone needs to buy one to experience. Also, the easiest hat to let go of, in my opinion. Nice to see a collection with so much wear. The ones I have owned seemed to have been been stored away in their suitcases like trophies.

I am glad I asked. I thought college one and done might have something to do with promiscuity. [emoji2]

Bailey did. Saw one on Goodwill a few years back, but missed it.

You sure that just wasn't a 100X?

Sure. It was a vintage dress weight western. I probably have pics on a dead PC somewhere.

What is college BB? Acronyms again.

B-ball...basketball...the big round one without pointy ends.
One and done refers to college BB where a player goes/plays one year then goes Pro.

@Latigo posted this one in the Western Anyone thread in 2017. The one on Goodwill was older based on the graphics on the sweat and liner. Whether this one qualifies as a $100 price point or is just a "100X' I dunno. Pretty sure the older one did.

I believe it is a $100 hat new. I sold and creased some of these, in the seventies. The store I worked at was a Bailey dealer. At that time Bailey was not using the x ratings on their hats.

Well, that clears it all up. Thank you, Ed. You didn't happen to keep one, did you?

Aha. A different direction than my tournament explanation!

I want to have a collection of at least one 100 for each brand that made one, Alan.
So far, I have Stetson, Dobbs, Resistol, Churchill, Cavanagh, and Knox.
I know I'm missing a MacLachlan, but do you know any other brands that made a 100?

Hi Max... I am not a student of this era. Did Maclachlan make a one hundred dollar hat? You do have a Stetson 150, right? I have Basque berets that cost one hundred dollars (with shipping). ;^)

You have too many hats to wear any of them all the time. I am a member of that club, too.

No, I couldn't afford one. Just sold and creased them. I had some nice Baileys that cost $35, a $100 hat was purchased by few. I considered them so special that I wore white cotton gloves to crease them. Didn't want skin oils on a new $100 hat!

No, I don't have a Stetson 150, only a Stetson 150th anniversary.

You wouldn't happen to know where I could get my hands on one, do you?

A late era offering... posted by Dinerman years ago. I would guess he no longer has it. Or perhaps I dreamt it...?

Interesting that Borsalino, who made the most wonderful hats in the post-war era (how's that for a sweeping statement!) did not find the need to market a one hundred dollar hat. Unless I missed it...
