I do not see many Vita Felt Stetsons...
I have only two vita felts. They do seem far and few between.

Justin/Other wise Fedora Folks; How is the vita felt different from the regular felted Stratoliner? Weight/feel/wear/etc.?

I was lucky enough to get hold of a nice light grey Stratoliner recently. It was pretty dirty, but the felt cleaned up easily with some steaming and brushing. Still need to do some work on the liner, otherwise a super hat.
After getting the hat, I also invested in the box and a repro DC3 pin (a vintage Stratoliner pin is on the way here, thanks to Lefty).
Here are a few shots of the Stratoliner, as it is today...
I'm open for trades This one is about 22 3/4 and just a tad snug on me.
So very nice, I am still on my quest for something as sweet as this hat!
It's in good condition. I actually put my cedar block from Art in it and it now fits pretty well.
I noticed a sort of shipping label on the top. Is there a date on it as this may give some indication as to when they might have changed styles of boxes ? Interesting that it also has a black edge to the top of the top. A sort of reinforcement perhaps?
This is the very first one I've ever seen like it.
