The Stetson One-Hundred "100"

[Just Daniel]

‘52 ad from RBH, $100 price noted.

Vic, what is the quilted gold leaf look & the crest shown below? Stars joined together

I see this as a star logo that is on the sloppy side. These sweatbands shrink and stretch and make it hard to tell for sure. (did I understand your question correctly?)

Yes, thanks! I would agree with that.

I don't mean to provide misinformation, but this has been cussed and discussed since I joined the FL, with the CW being what I wrote.

Perhaps some more detailed information so we can all correct our assumptions would be productive.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

I was not singling you out for misinformation, sorry if I came off that way.

A later "100" with the maple leaf crest, stars embossing & rectangular LO size tag.

I have a couple of these myself, but wow! That one is super sweet. Seeing another really fires me up! Awesome!

Back to this question, from the ads other guys posted the $100 Stetson came out in ‘51. I believe we can nearly assume this also corresponds to the earliest date of the Stetson 100; more certainly the earliest possible date.

Maybe some folks have more ads or hats with date stamps that make better indicators? More information is always better!

Question:
I don’t recall definitively ever reading what years Stetson made the One Hundreds.
Does anybody know first and last years of production?

That hat-case combo is certainly at the top of the heap! Looks to be museum quality to me! Enjoy.

Great hat, Jack. Unusual liner on the case, at least to me. I know you have a red lined one and mine is red as well.

I think this case was an accessory sold by Stetson & not specific to the "100". All the dimensions & the inserts are the same but no "100" badging & the white liner.

You got me motivated...Stetson 100, Stars^2 and pre-plastic.

A 6 5/8, hopefully the purists among us won’t be too up in arms that I took it downstairs to Ignacio to open up a little...I don’t know that there are any heads that small wearing hats; now the hat sees the sun a little more!


PS I added the original hat box.

Three 100's and all of them beauties. Thanks for sharing these. Do you notice any significant differences in any of them?

Hurricane Jack: Anyone would be proud to wear such a hat.

Great collection and in a hard to find size. Good job, Jack.

I'm still itching to put a diamond in one, though.

Dang ... you're killing me here ... these would all fit me (maybe not on a windy day). You are a lucky man to own one, but three? Wow!
