Stetson M1911 WWI – interwar years, 1930s Officer’s Campaign Hat, four dent, 3in brim, no stitching at brim edge, stars not oak leaf. Chin strap is original but detached on one side. Despite being almost 100 years old, this Stetson is in fantastic condition! The exact age is unknown but the hat has several characteristics that help date it. The brim is 3in wide but does not feature decorative stitch lines around the outer edge, which dates the hat as later than 1919. The Stetson logo has stars in the upper left quadrant, but Stetson changed this to an oak leaf in 1950. The labels also suggest the date, making the 1930s my best estimate!
