The specific coat-of-arms crest used on the clear plastic "oil guard" crown liner patch was standard for Stetson production during this decade. The inner leather sweatband features a custom gold foil stamp for "Alexander's Watsonville". This points back to a historic family-owned dry goods store and haberdashery located in Watsonville, California, which operated prominently during the mid-20th century.

Condition: 8/10 Good Vintage Condition. This is a very nice, high-quality fur felt hat that features no stains and no color discoloration to the felt body. It does exhibit a few noted vintage flaws, including a few small moth spots/bites on the felt surface and some light wear along the internal leather sweatband stitching.
