Story: In 1967, James Whitaker, a hard-working father of three in rural Nebraska, saved for months before circling the page in his Cabela’s catalog. He’d worn work hats all his life, but this was different—a Royal Deluxe Stetson Fedora, his very first fine dress hat.

When the box arrived, he opened it slowly, smoothing the felt as though it might vanish if touched too quickly. That Sunday, he wore it to church, standing taller than his neighbors had ever seen him. His children would always remember that day—the quiet pride in their father’s eyes, the way the Fedora seemed to crown not just his head, but the years of labor that had earned it.

Restoration Process: Our Black Label restored vintage hats have been meticulously cleaned, reshaped, destained and fully restored and redesigned with our signature aesthetic. These hats are no longer produced with this exceptional quality of materials, craftsmanship and are considered a treasured artifact of Western heritage.
