Founded in 1865, Stetson was born from the spirit of the West and grew to become an American icon. John B.

Most likely manufactured between 1950 and 1971, this vintage 7 ¼ size hat is the perfect addition to your western wear collection.
Similar vintage Stetson hats are selling for between $200 to $250 online.
