I started out in my SBCD this morning and switched to my Stetson Sovereign this afternoon for an evening out.

Super Hat. Can you please specify what The Fray stands for and which company makes this hat ?

Thanks

Sonero, the hat is a Stetson Boss raw edge and is referred to as the Fray because of the sweat that carries the name "Fray". Stetson employee William F. Fray developed the process for producing the sweatband used in the hat and other models which use the Fray sweat. You can read about it here.

Kentucky Rancher Hat. Looks somewhat similar but I wish it came in black.....maybe a good idea for a custom job.

Thanks Again.

Having some fun at the Range with a Ruger 10-22 Custom built (by me)...

The Hat I found at a local gun show for $17.00, its a Clone of Stetson OR or Strat, says on Sweat band "Showerproofed by Dryette", sold by Fields of Flint, Michigan, the hat is a beautiful Felt, soft, pliable, very light weight like my Vita-Felt Stratoliner, perfect for everyday wear...I suspect its a 1950's or 60's made by Stetson for this Fields Co.
