Stetson

Stetson is a brand of hat manufactured by the John B. Stetson Company.

Founded in 1865, John B. Stetson Company began when the founder headed west and created the original hat of the West, the “ Boss of the Plains”. This Western hat would become the cornerstone of Stetson’s hat business and is still in production today.

Stetson eventually became the world’s largest hat maker, producing more than 3,300,000 hats a year in a factory spread over in Philadelphia. In addition to its Western and fashion hats, Stetson also produces fragrance, apparel, footwear, eyewear, belts, bourbon and a range of other products evoking the historic American West.

Stetson University and Stetson University College of Law in Florida were named after John B. Stetson in 1899 for his contributions to the school.

Stetson (crater)

Stetson is the remains of a crater on the far side of the Moon. The northeastern part of the rim of Stetson has been overlain by the larger crater Blackett. Lying across the eastern rim is a double-crater formation consisting of the satellites Stetson E and Stetson G. There are also small craters along the southeast and northwestern rims.

Only the portion of the rim that is still relatively intact is from the west-northwest counter-clockwise to the south. The surviving rim and the remaining interior floor are relatively indistinct, possibly due to deposits of ejecta from the Mare Orientale impact basin to the northeast. Radial streaks of ejecta and secondary craters cover the terrain that surrounds Stetson and Blackett.
