My licensed Stetson circa 1984

I'm sure these are much derided, but here is my NOS Stetson from back in the day.

I had two of these. The other one I wore everyday while attending college and wore it out.

No deriding here. That hat is part of our collective history. Amazing to have a NOS in that good of condition.

A LOT of us started out with those in the hobby.

I wore 3 fur felt versions completely out before 'we' started experimenting with Akubra's.

I still have one of the TofD promo fur felt Stetsons in storage.

Yep. Bought mine with birthday money as a kid. Will never forget that day. It was a little too big for me, and it didn't survive it's first rainy adventure.

Good lookin' lid!
