Thank heavens I'm not the only one thinking like that!

Or you could start a new thread....I should have it in a few days. I will post in the New Hats thread shortly after I receive it.
That hat does not look beat up! A little rumpled maybe. The reed looks perfect!! Hardly worn. More pics of the sweatband??Hi, I just won an eBay auction for a Stetson Excellent, made in Germany, sold in Italy.
It looks very beat up (as if somebody sat on it), but otherwise not used much.
I hope I can get it back into shape again. I'm paid 78 $ total; I usually make even better eBay deals, but for an "Excellent" the price should be OK. The paper label shows the number "80117". Does that imply the hat was made in 1980?

That’s just some steam away from being perfect. Definitely made before 1980. If you find any of these “beat up” hats in 61 or 62 let me know! Great find there!

The logo puts it post-'46, the reorder tag posits pre-1950, I'm pretty sure.

I think Excellent deal is and understatement for that Excellent hat!
Good go!

I don't know if it makes any difference, but I read it as "80417". Regardless, it looks like it's in very good condition and should pop right back into shape with a little care and attention.Hi, I just won an eBay auction for a Stetson Excellent, made in Germany, sold in Italy...The paper label shows the number "80117"...
