Vintage EXCELLENT Stetson 40s TWENTYFIVE Taupe Will Custom SHAPE 7-1/8++ 7-1/4

Description: This Vintage EXCELLENT early 1940s Stetson TWENTYFIVE was found in the original box! The size is 7-1/8+++ to 7-1/4, read below. So rare to find this in such great condition too! Those other shapes were all “hand-bashed” while we took pictures. It’s just so soft and pliable it took 5 seconds to shape it. But if you want a steamed in shape, like an Open Road or Stratoliner type fedora just write to us and we will steam that shape into the hat. You can see that the hat is from the 1940s. The size tag and the hat liner (onion-skin) and the 2 orange under-tags. This is an outstanding wide (3 inches) brim. Ok so currently dad and I are disagreeing on the color! These older vintage Stetson taupe color hat are not the same as the newer one! But I think it’s a SilverBelly?So far 3 of our old collector buyers are saying it’s SilverBelly. It is the old vintage Taupe! Please look at the pictures and tell us what you think? The problem with the pictures is that they are coming out a bit to light! It’s a shade darker than what you see. Please keep this in mind when to decide on buying this hat! If anyone can tell us how to best take pictures so the color comes out consistently and correct, PLEASE PLEASE WRITE TO US! We have tried inside the home, light on, light off. We have tried outside in early morning, afternoon (in full sunlight) and at dusk. We just can’t figure it out!! This original Stetson TWENTYFIVE Beaver was the BEST HAT manufactured at that time! Very very soft and pliable, hold a shape just like you’d expect from these true vintage beaver 25 Stetsons. This is a very soft and pliable material! This can easily be “Hand-Bashed” into nearly any shape and will hold the shape! Or dad could steam a shape into the hat? Maybe you’d like a cattleman, standard fedora or nearly any shape you’d like to shape it! If you want it changed you will need to write to dad. Note: The Stetson LARGER a box on the bottom is just to broken so dad has replaced it with that 1950s Stetson hat box pictured ontop of the original hat box. This one is included in this sale! The box is still in great condition, there is a bit of paper loss but it’s still a strong and durable box. The hat holding insert set is still in excellent condition! You won’t be disappointed! NOTE: the hat box will be shipped outside the continental USA. It’s going to cost more but the hat and box have been together for so long we don’t want to separate them. If you have any questions please write us. Ok now the particularsWe did find the undertag under the leather sweatband. There are 2 orangey rectangular tags, one with the size and the other has the model number. We will not unfold the leather sweatband again! It puts to much stress on it! And like always we measure each hat 3 times using different methods to verify the actual size! This measures to a perfect 7-1/8++ at 22-1/2+ inches, see last picture. This could easily be stretched to a perfect 7-1/4. It just takes time, patience and a $15 Amazon hat stretcher. We use the Tilley hat size chart. This chart is still in use today. A perfect 7-1/8 is 22-3/8 inches and a perfect 7-1/4 is 22-3/4 inches so you can see it’s not to much of a stretch. Color Taupe. Size 7-1/8++ or 22-1/2 inches or 57.6 Length 14.25 inches Width 12.8 inches Height 5.2 inches, at the highest point in Open Crown Wide Brim width 3 inches Matching Grosgrain ribbon string band 3/8 of an inch Coat Trolley String, this came from dad’s old dead stock, it’s a perfect match too. Currently it is NOT a sewn to the hat. It could be by a decent tailor or just left as a decoration. It is very elastic and can be removed of you wanted to? THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL HAT! Everyone will turn heads for this hat! We Carefully packaged and ships though Fedex.Local pickup is always free. Ship with Fedex or USPS priority mail, whichever arrives quickest. Both costs a couple dollars more but they are very reliable and they do not crush or damage boxes, also much faster shipping. Please read our very excellent feedback. Dad has collected hats for a lifetime and there are 100s of them, on shelves, stacked in closets and spare bedrooms.We are slowly listing these special hats weekly. We stand behind the eBay garentee and have NEVER had and issue with returns. We ask you to verify your hat size before you buy and we supply the maximum amount of pictures but if you need anything please write and ask. No Smoking - No PetsThank You NOTE: when we ship Dad’s hats out we use strong shipping boxes and each hat we ship is FULLY INSURED and we are no longer going to handle broken box insurance claims. We discovered that one buyer crushed their shipping box and asked for a hefty partial refund. The shipper sent us a picture of the box sitting at the front door and it was NOT CRUSHED? We also discovered that because we were NOT in possession of the box it was impossible for us to file the claim. So now and in the future all claims will be handled by the buyer of the hat or item we ship. Again we ALWAYS carefully pack each hat so it will not be crushed in a good strong shipping box. There are always some Bad Apples around who make everyone’s life impossible! It not fair to the rest of the GOOD FOLKS but it’s a fact of life these days! If you have any questions please write to us. Thank you for your understanding.
