Vintage 1940\'s ROYAL STETSON STRATOLINER Men\'s Hat in original box. Wonderful soft Fur-Felt in a warm Gray-Brown color with an easy to shape crown.
Wear it with the crown rounded up, pinch it on the sides, push the top down into a tear drop, triangle or diamond shape indentation.
Marked as sold at Gottlieb\'s in Farmer City, Illinois. In very good to excellent condition. Very clean leather band and fur-felt body, only a few darkened spots on the inside satin liner.
The only information I found on the Internet about Gottlieb\'s store was an ad in a school yearbook in 1952.
Size is not marked. The inside leather sweatband measures 22\".
NOTE: I was asked to measure the inside of the hat ACROSS from EAR to EAR - 6 5/8\" and FRONT to BACK 7 3/4\". I hope this helps all of you hoping to offer on this classic Stetson Hat.
