Description

Iron Eyes Cody 3X Stetson, Tailored by "Nudie". This is a handsome collaboration between Stetson and "Nudie" Cohn, the legendary designer of western attire, created for the legendary portrayer of the American Indian, Iron Eyes Cody, in honor of his 80th birthday. The hat is dark tan in color, with a splendid weaved band, a large resplendent feather (with some turquoise stones attached) and even two small charms of fish hooked to the band. The inside band reads "Happy 80th Birthday, "XXX Stetson," and "Made by Stetson especially for Iron Eyes Cody," and also features Nudie's engraved trademark. The "John B. Stetson Company 3X Beaver" trademark is engraved on the inside band as well. A wonderfully impressive hat, with connections to Stetson, "Nudie," and the famed "Crying Indian" of the "Keep America Beautiful" commercials. Comes in a the original Stetson box with the color trademark painting on the top. This is a beauty! Excellent condition.
