    Under the shade of a new Stetsonian in the Florida sun. Diamond bash.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Caribou Premier Stratoliner in chilly Chicago. The pinches don’t photograph as distinctly as they look in real life. The felt in grey has the nicest feel of all my modern Strats.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    New Premier Stratoliner. I wonder, should the crown be taller?

    Thanks, everyone, glad to hear the reports; I would have hated to send this one back.

    I was thinking of the sweatband tightening up a bit. Glad it’s not an issue!

    The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}

    Question for the experts: with something modern like a Premier Stratoliner, is it best to get one that initially fits a trace loose, to allow for shrinkage? Or is one that fits perfectly out of the box a safe buy?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Had to; I really mangled my second attempt at my own crease, and the hat would not cooperate with my meager skills and tools. Lesson: know when to stop!

    First tentative late night dry crease of my new 150th anniversary Stetsonian.

    In praise of newer Stetson

    A Stetsonian and a trio of Premier Stratoliners, along with my first tentative dry crease of the Stetsonian; my word, what a wonderful hat!

    First dry crease, Stetsonian. Now I get the allure of the larger dimensions.

    Let the joy begin: Stetsonian and a trio of Premier Stratoliners! But, JJ, why a feather in the black one?

    With four boxes arriving, there is no possibility of finessing them past my wife, so I had to confess in advance. Well, she has the sales at Macy's and Chico's, I have the fedoras!

    In praise of newer Stetson

    I'm not entirely sure what possessed me to do this, but JJ Hat Center has a sale, and I just ordered Premier Stratoliners in Black, Cornhill, and Silverbelly, with a side order of Stetsonian in Tawny. Will this be a delight, or will our hero be disappointed. Stay tuned...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thank you! I must credit Art Fawcett for the basic bash; I've only tweaked it a little, sharpening the pinch, teasing the crown a tad higher, and getting the brim down a bit in front and up in back. That brim didn't want to snap at all when I bought it.

    Borsalino Como in fawn. I purchased this from JJ in NYC two years ago. On the way through the TSA checkpoint at LaGuardia, they demanded to inspect the hat. As the young man finished removing the liner and mashing the crown he said, “Nice hat.” I replied, “It WAS.” Never did get the liner...
