Vintage Excellent Stetson 1950s Beaver 15 O.R.- Stratoliner SB 7+ to 7-1/8

Description: This Excellent Vintage 1950s Stetson Fedora Beaver Fifteen Fedora - SilverBelly - size 7+ to 7-1/8 (read below). A buyer asked to steam this into a Standard Stratoliner shape. This can be reshaped back into an open crown or Open Road, just write to ask. We will send pictures after the shaping. This time we will wait until the hat is purchased though. It does take some time to reshape a hat and at our ages it takes a little mare time and because we are so particular and want it perfect before sending any pictures. NO HAT BOX! For display only. NOTE: we removed the hand bashed pictures since this has been steam shaped into a pinched crown fedora with that great dip on the front brim. Steaming any shape into this fedora will hold this shapes if you’d like that done please write to us.” We took a video but for some unknown reason it’s not attaching to the ad. But we believe that most everyone knows these older vintage Stetsons and how easily hand bashing is. Note a buyer asked to steam this into a fedora and afterwards did not buy it. So much work goes into hand shaping that Dad has left it in the fedora shape. If you want it re-steamed into a different shape you must write to us. So it is currently shaped like the first picture, the fedora. We always try and help our buyers by putting in the extra work to reply to request but if you don’t really intend to buy the hat please please don’t ask to steam shape it if you really don’t intent to buy it. Please. Size states 7 but measures to a 7+, just a fraction over a perfect size 7 but about 1/8 of an inch. The size tag started to break apart so we had to tape it. It will be placed under the leather sweatband when shipped. Se least picture. This could be stretched though to a 7-1/8 at the maximum. Many buyers have used an inexpensive $15 Amazon Hat Stretcher getting excellent results. It just takes time and patience! Dad always used some Glove Oil before stretching a hat. Applies Glove Oil, allows it to completely absorb and repeats this a second time and then starts stretching it. We filled the picture gallery so you can see every detail, we hid NOTHING. This was worn but very rarely and then stored away. You can see that the hat is from the 1950 by 7 Key-Hole size tag and the liner has that plastic liner cover.The color is SilverBelly and The picture of the whole underside is the best representation. This is Stetson Beaver Fifteen was one of their BEST everyday hats manufactured at that time! You can see the bottom of the size tag states $15. That matches up with the feel of the Beaver material. Any new hat that you buy cannot be compared to these original Beaver Stetson hats! Note: that oval Stetson hat box is just for display only. It’s out of Dads own collection. So NO hat box. It’s just an example of the type of hat box that it would have been sold in. You can always find these for sale here on eBay.If you have any questions please write us. We filled the picture gallery so you can see every angle, we hid NOTHING! Ok now the particulars There is a tag stating size “7” tag and this measures to a 7+ at 22-1/8 inches. A perfect size 7-1/8 at 22-3/8 inches and a perfect size 7 is 22 inches. And like always we measure each hat 3 times using different methods to verify the actual size! Color SilverBelly Size 7+ or 22-1/8 inches or 57.25 Length 13.2 inches Width 11.9 inches, at the widest part, not flattened out Height 5 inches, at the highest point Wide Brim width 2.75 inches Matching Grosgrain ribbon string band .35 inches 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.
