Stetson western royal rancher cowboy hat, c. 1960s

350 USD

An original Western Royal by Stetson—America’s most storied hatmaker—this 1960s-era Rancher is a richly weathered emblem of Texas heritage. Produced during a period when Stetson still dominated the frontier imagination, the hat features the distinctive Fort Worth front-and-back crease, a shaping favored by working ranchers for its balance of function, shade, and unmistakable silhouette. 

Constructed in the United States from quality Western felt, the hat retains its original grosgrain headband, plastic tip liner, and black leather sweatband—personalized with the name Estelle handwritten inside, a quiet trace of the woman who once wore it. The sweatband exhibits softened surface wear and edge chipping consistent with age and use; the interior liner bears authentic period soiling; and the felt shows minor brim creasing, all of which contribute to the hat’s earned patina and evocative presence.
