I remember seeing a listing of Stetson pricing at one time and the price jump seemed later. It sure feels like a mid fifties vs a early 60s felt. Really soft and ultra light. Sometime I'll have to weigh it, but it is by far my lightest felt hat. I'll go back through the thousands of pages I've read to refresh my memory as to dating. The problem is, no extant mfg labeling.
Just from what I can see in your pictures I would put the hat early to mid 1950's, Red. I'm not an expert tho.... just going by hats I have collected.

Have a great day!

You're up early Moe. And giving me a serious case of Portis envy. Great jacket and shirt today too.

We visited Esther last saturday to pick up my new hat.

Here we meet our lovely host.

We visited a beautiful neighbourhood in Antwerp

Then drinks and a great dinner.

It really is a beautiful city.

Oh, and here's the hat, against the backdrop of one of our largest discount drugstores.

And Simone, just because.

I absolutely love this.
These meet-ups are the best unintended consequence of this forum.
And the rest of us being invited along to see, too, is just excellent.
Thanks for sharing.

Looking at the forecast for wind gusts to 40 mph today I thought cap.

So I picked this one I made a couple of years ago.

But when I went out to take the photos the wind wasn't too bad, and it was frickin cold. So an overcoat and the Knox Grafton came into play.

Off to look at hat pictures now. Have a good one,

Man, you look good! And you made the cap? I like that style more than most I see. I like how the front brim sticks out there a bit with nothing on it. Sharp!
