The Stetson Week-Ender men’s hat & the Stetson Whippet – Women’s hat: The Mistral
All the way back to the lusty pioneers of the old West, a hat wasn’t just a hat — it was a Stetson.
Today, our customers are just as proud of their own Stetson hats. For today, as in pioneer days, each Stetson hat is made of the finest fur felt; beaver from the United States and Canada, nutria from Argentina, hare and rabbit from Europe.
Only the John B. Stetson Company, of all hat makers, produces from the raw materials all the many things that go into the making of a hat — from the seasoning of the fur, the blocking, felting and finishing, to making the hat boxes.
From Grosse Pointe to Cairo, Egypt, wherever you see well-dressed men… you’ll see Stetson Hats. Probably no other article of men’s wear is so widely known, so widely respected for its style and quality as a Stetson Hat.
