Description: This EXCELLENT NEW Vintage Browning (Stetson?), Brown, 3X Beaver, Cattleman style cowboy hat. This is the vintage 3X Beaver! Nothing like today’s 3X Beaver! The size is 7 at 22 inches (56). This is an excellent hat! So rare to find this in such great condition too! YES, this was sold at BROWNING ARMS COMPANY at the arms manufacturing company store in Utah! There are many sites on the internet to find Browning in Utah and these store fronts but nothing on these hats.The box is original to the hat as you can see! As we looked at their website and because times have changed so drastically they only sell SnapBack baseball type caps now. So this is extremely rare to find and in brand new condition. The box does have some minor paper wear but does have the original hat holding insert set. We cannot find anything like it or any information on this hat anywhere. If someone has any information please write to us. So we do know that Browning manufactured Firearms and contacted this hat out for their store. The hat reminds us of the duplicate Stetson Cattleman hat that I have. We believe this hat was manufactured by Stetson in the 1970s or 1980s? It could have been contracted out to Resistol but we just aren’t 100% certain? It’s is not the soft pliable hats that you’d find back in the 1950s! And not as pliable as the 1960s to early 1970s. It’s stiffer and will never need to be steamed shaped. It could be steamed and shaped if you wanted to change the style but it will take a bit more time. So most folks won’t know who Steve McQueen is but this is the style of hat he would be seen wearing in his old cowboy movies. A tall cattleman with the leather hatband. You’ll still find these hats worn in many older and newer cowboy movies! Just an outstanding look! A real classic!As we were taking pictures outside we did not notice this inside the home but there a very slight something, see picture 8. We tried cleaning it with dad’s horsehair brush but it remained there. We think a good cleaning with an orange hat sponge would probably do a much better job on it? Note: the original box is in very good condition! There is a bit of very minor paper wear but it does have the original hat holding insert set? It will make a real conversation piece! It’s very worthy of shipping, storing the hat inside and displaying!It’s a very large hat box! Approximate measurements are 18X 16 X 8.5 inches, so it’s going to cost more to ship than most every hat with box we ship. If you have any questions please write us. Ok now the particularsThe original hat size tag states 7 and this measures to a perfect size 7 at 22 inches. We measure each hat, tagged or not, 3 times using direct methods to verify it’s size. The hat color is a medium brown. So the picture of the whole underside is the best match to the actual color. Others come out to light and the underside ones come out to dark. Size 7 or 22 or 56 Length 14-1/8 inches Width 13 inches Height 6 inches, at the highest point Wide Brim width 3 inches Original Leather hatband THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL HAT! Everyone will turn heads for this hat! We Carefully packaged and ships though Fedex.Local pickup is always free. Ship with Fedex or USPS priority mail, whichever arrives quickest. Both costs a couple dollars more but they are very reliable and they do not crush or damage boxes, also much faster shipping. Please read our very excellent feedback. Dad has collected hats for a lifetime and there are 100s of them, on shelves, stacked in closets and spare bedrooms.We are slowly listing these special hats weekly. We stand behind the eBay garentee and have NEVER had and issue with returns. We ask you to verify your hat size before you buy and we supply the maximum amount of pictures but if you need anything please write and ask. No Smoking - No PetsThank You NOTE: when we ship Dad’s hats out we use strong shipping boxes and each hat we ship is FULLY INSURED and we are no longer going to handle broken box insurance claims. We discovered that one buyer crushed their shipping box and asked for a hefty partial refund. The shipper sent us a picture of the box sitting at the front door and it was NOT CRUSHED? We also discovered that because we were NOT in possession of the box it was impossible for us to file the claim. So now and in the future all claims will be handled by the buyer of the hat or item we ship. Again we ALWAYS carefully pack each hat so it will not be crushed in a good strong shipping box. There are always some Bad Apples around who make everyone’s life impossible! It not fair to the rest of the GOOD FOLKS but it’s a fact of life these days! If you have any questions please write to us. Thank you for your understanding.
