Really cool hat : Uncle Ralph from the 20s - any idea where I could find a similar one or find the name of this hat style ?
You're definitely looking for a 4x7 of the Carlsbad or Tom Mix style. They were popular in the West & Southwest during the 1920's - 1930's & early 1940's. There are some 4x6 Tom Mix styles that continued after that, if you decide you can settle of a 6 or 6+ crown.Really cool hat : Uncle Ralph from the 20s - any idea where I could find a similar one or find the name of this hat style ?

I'm new to the hat world ... but already addicted !! at these times, the hats were beaver as well ?
If you've got deep pockets...Thanks a lot for all these information !
Don't look that old, 70s maybe? Looks like a pre creased crown. Not worth $300. Not every thin ribbon hat is a Stratoliner or Open Road, this hat has 2ply ribbon which disqualifies it from being either.
The thing us, unless it's marked on the sweatband or other labeling, we probably don't know what hat it is. Moreover, we would need better pics of the innards (size tag, liner, Stetson crest, reorder labels) to even approach an educated guess.
What is this hat style, for you Stetson historians out there - seems like a low-crown telescope/c-crown fedora with a moderately wider but still stingy brim. The listing on Ebay (too small in size for me) has it as a Royal Stetson/Gun Club on the headband. I like the look of it, just curious of the name for future searches. Thanks.
