very interesting that piece

Right. A 7x sweat and a 100 liner.

Thanks, Jim... Funny, I was just thinking that I needed to do some more digging about him. I looked a little bit when I got the hat last spring and found nothing. Then I got sidetracked by my accident and surgery. Gonna try some more.

Merry Saturday, my friend.

I just did a quick Google, with no real results. "Richard Stewart Philadelphia" got me an obit of somebody who passed in 2009, which sounds a bit too late. Assuming ~65 when he retired from Stetson, say late fifties or even early 60s would put him over 100 today.

very interesting that piece

you think the brim was cut somewhere in its life?
... it says Mode Edge yet it is bound ... interesting

I didn't even notice that.

Mode Edge marking with a bound edge as well

looks to me that the brim was cut somewhere in its life ... that brim seems too short for the era it looks to have been made in comparison to the crown

beautiful piece though

Love that Twenty, Moon.

I have one similar and I think I like your centerdent better than the c crown that mine has. I think you've inspired me to change it!

Yeah... It's odd. As folks notice, there are a number of strange things about it. After I first got it, I sent pics to a friend who doesn't frequent the lounge much, but is pretty knowledgeable about hats.

He suggested an odd theory... That all of the parts, and brim treatment are original and that the apparent mishmash was Mr. Stewart's friends way of ribbing him upon his retirement.

I've looked pretty darned closely at it, and it all seems original. And the felt is just incredible.

Weird.

P.S. I've got the original box, too. I'll take more pics and post them. Maybe some other folks can help with this odd duck. Which thread do you think would be best?

Hey thx my Friend. Can not wait to see the Ny Stet and get some feedback. Great great color I might add.

Yep, after a reblock and reshaping I think the hat is happier. I'm wearing that today
