Stetson Nutria Quality Western
Late 1940’s to Early 1950s
Dark Brown Nutria Felt
About 5 inch crown as shaped (prob 6 Open)
Embroidered Stetson Nutria Liner
3 1/4 brim - 3 Ply Ribbon

So I’ve had a hankering for an older brown western. Cause you know…. Gotta keep up with my lack of cattle. Was thinking of something similar to my black Miller Western. Something with a softer older style moldable felt. I came across this Brown Stetson Nutria Quality and thought I could check two boxes at once. Asking price was a bit higher than I would normally want to go but I figured might not have another chance at one like this.

Out of the box it was in pretty decent shape. Still gave it a good brushing to clean up and steam for shape. As expected the Nutria felt is a bit more stiff than beaver/rabbit felts of the era…. Which I believe to be late 1940s to early 1950s…. But still shapes just fine.

I started by opening up the crown and working on the brim some. Then I settled on this center dent and front pinch. The fit and feel is perfect.

All and all it settles in nicely with what I was looking for. I wasn’t looking for a daily wear kinda hat.. but really it feels comfortable for me.

Killer Hat!!!!

Royal Stetson.

I fell for the colour of this one when I saw it a few years back. A very deep orange/brown.

It's made under license in Germany, so Mayser made. It's similar to another RS I have made by them. That one has a ridge, too. This one, however, has a back bow. Love those.

Golden Week (a conglomeration of public holidays) started for me today in Japan. Five days off - I’ve got some pork belly curing in the fridge ready to become bacon.
I don’t usually post on workdays because I wear one of the same three hats every day.
I decided to go for something different today - trying to get another wear out my nicer hats before they go into boxes.
So it was my Tirard to work…

…and later on, Etsuko & I went out for dinner - her in her Akubra Leisure Time

…and me in my Stetson Custom V

These hats won’t be seen again for a while - airing them out before they get put into storage…

Finally, a bit of playing around taking photos of sage with a poor man’s macro. That is, camera in one hand and lens, separated from the camera, in the other
