Stetson SFSHAS-724222 SHASTA 10X Premier Felt Western Hat Dark Brown Chocolate
Stetson SFSHAS-724222 SHASTA 10X Premier Felt Western Hat Dark Brown Chocolate - A true Stetson icon, our Shasta combines premier quality and classic Western style in one timeless package. It’s crafted from our proprietary 10X fur felt, which is prized for its durability and elegant feel, and, as with all hats that come out of our factory in Texas, each Shasta is touched by more than 100 sets of hands during production, resulting in a hat that is designed and built to stand the test of time. This edition features a 7242 profile, which translates to a 4 1/4” cattleman crown and 4 1/4” brim. Like all Shastas, it’s finished with a matching self-felt band and three-piece, genuine sterling silver buckle with gold JBS letters—a nod to our founder John B. Stetson, whose trailblazing spirit and commitment to quality live on in everything we make. A handsewn genuine leather sweatband and full satin liner provide a time-tested fit and premium comfort.

In 1865, with $100, John B. Stetson rented a small room, bought the tools he needed, bought $10 worth of fur and the John B. Stetson Hat Company was born. A year later the "Hat of the West" or the now famous "Boss of the Plains" hat was born and the name Stetson was on its way to becoming the mark of quality, durability, innovation and beauty.
Today the Stetson hat factory in Garland, Texas is one of the largest in the country and produces a line of hats in hundreds of different styles and colors. In spite of this size, however, classic styling and premium quality remain as the driving forces behind each and every hat. As a result, Stetson hats are the most well known hats in the world. Wherever and whenever hats are discussed Stetson will be mentioned.
Stetson is the standard in hats, the essence of the spirit of the West and an icon of everyday American lifestyle. Because of its authentic American heritage, Stetson remains as a part of history and, for the same reason will continue into the future.
The John B. Stetson Company, founded by John B. Stetson in 1865, was the maker of the Stetson cowboy hats, but ceased manufacturing in 1970. Stetson hats are now being manufactured in Garland, Texas, by Hatco, Inc., who also produce Resistol and Charlie 1 Horse hats.
Stetson resumed manufacturing in the 1980s, but the company went bankrupt in 1986. It was purchased by Hat Brands, a company owned by Irving Joel.
Since 2009, Stetson has been owned by Pro Equine Group.
