I can understand how my words can be misinterpreted. Emotion, sineity and deliver are hard to convey over the internet. You have obviously already formed an opinion of me and thus you are reading that into my posts. Art, Besdor, and Douglas have all provided me with invaluable information. I...
I took a chance on this Stetson from OFAS Its just a tad large ad 7 & 5/8 but i really liked the lines. the seller claims it's about 15 years old. placing its purchase around the late 1980's or early 1990's
The brim looks very flat to me. that might be a sign of poor storage? or maybe it...
