Well, well, just got thia beauty today Gannon in powder blue.

The hat has a true blue shade, pale,like deep winter sky blue, the hat, needless to say is made with the highest standards as you may expect from Michael, love the brim binding and the ribbon contrast, this hat has look at me all over it.

Love it BUT what I really loved about it is the knot treatment, just below perfect as perfect can only be heaven made.

All I can say is that Michael delivers more than what you can expect, beat bang for your buck, really you cant miss with his hat, I have said that before, this hat was made with heart, pride and passion.

My fourth Gannon, I am glad I am in line for 2 more.

Lucky, and very, very happy me.

You live in a magical land of hats. A $1 estate sale find around here would be one of these.

Really? Around where I live those would be $40.00 bargains....hahah!

Well that picture right there is in part, what the Fedora Lounge is all about. Nice Stetson, good looking family man with a sweetie you are holding and look at those smiles! Lot of love there, and that is what the Lounge is all about!

"Grab Finds" are that kind of hats that you quickly grab when you find them.

So here is my latest addition and with it I am sure I will have my work cut out for me......I didn't expect to be the final "bid", but the best laid plans of mice and men and all that sort of thing....I got the "****ie prize" ..LOL !

This is a Stephen L. Stetson (I am sure many saw it on ebay for months...LOL ), and this thing is a wreck!....The sweat band is literally falling apart in your hands, the hat is covered with stains, however not one bug bite anywhere ! No oder, so I have at least that going for me........I have another "famous ten" and this one is so different from that ....Anyone have an ideas as to how old it might be????

Stephen L. Stetson – Fedora - Medium Brown color with light gold/brown hat band/ribbon with side bow and edging around the brim. The “brim edging” is wider on the under brim and smaller on the top-brim – different than the other Famous Ten, that I have. Company name, size and model number is in the liner/sweat band and states: SLS - Es*** – 556 – size 7 3/8. Sweat band is a “Carter’s Removable Sweat Band” with the wrong Patent number (1877982). The sweat band is thin brown slightly “textured” leather – On sweat band in embossed gold lettering is T. Frank - Mt. Pleasant – TENN. On other side of sweat band is “Custom Felted” above an insignia of two beavers on opposite sides of a tree stump – below this insignia are the words” FAMOUS TEN”. Inside hat has off golden silk liner with Company crest enclosed in clear plastic, below are the worlds in red Hat’s sweat band is literally flaking and falling apart, and hat has numerous stains and spots…..It appears that the sweat band was removed and sewn in, positioned incorrectly !
