It’s the size that counts… and true enough, this magnificent unworn vintage Stetson homburg is in a larger size than most.
It is stylish and most elegant. This homburg man's hat measures to fit a man’s size large at 7-1/4… or it will generously fit a woman’s size 22.75 inches or 57.8 cm.
Identified as a Stetson 3x Beaver Homburg, it is in vintage mint condition… appearing unworn. It dates to the early 1950s and features the tiniest sterling silver Stetson logo pin that is still attached to the silk grosgrain band.
It is luxurious.
The hat was designed to wear as a formal style, but in today’s world, it will be appreciated by men and women alike. As it is said, they simply don’t make hats like this any more.
Hand stitched in all the right places, the interior lining has the Stetson logo which dates the hat to the mid-1950s. The logo also tells us that this hat was one of the earliest manufactured with intent to market to Canadian clientele.
The original sizing label is still intact, making it obvious that the hat was never worn. It reads 7-1/4. The interior leather facing is supple and smooth. It is black in color and stamped with the 3x Beaver mark plus Stetson logo. The interior is marked with “Davison The Clothier” at Flint, Michigan. Research shows that this clothier was likely in business through the early 1950s because no later record can be found.
