    The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}

    You might want to check out the "Vintage" by Stetson at Bencraft. Sovereign, 2 1/2" Brim. I have one in Caribou with a thin, black leather band. Felt is on the thick side. Quality hat! I think it may be a Bencraft exclusive. Looks like they have Bronzine and Black in stock...

    FS: White's Semi Dress boots size 11D -- brand new!

    Beautiful boots! Just thought I'd post that I bought a pair of shoes from bl@ster not too long ago and they came exactly as advertised. In fact, I'd try and buy these if I didn't know for certain that I wear a 10.5 in Whites (which, Grayland, I find to run pretty true to size).

    Here's an iPhone pic adjusted using the Snapseed app. Whiskey VS the first time I put it on!

    A Safe Cleaner for Milans???

    x2 Art. Thanks. In my case, it's a dark staining on the straw, possibly from the leather bleeding color a bit. Wouldn't be visible if it wasn't a thin ribbon.

    A Safe Cleaner for Milans???

    I'm interested in a way to clean a milan, too. Stains from sweat soaking through the band. I have a feeling I'm stuck with them.

    The best and worst vehicles for the hat wearer

    5'11". No problems for me in an '08 GMC Sierra pickup. My wife's '10 Subaru Forester, however, is fine only if I don't ever move my head.

    The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}

    I bought a silverbelly around when this hat was first released. Slightly too low of a crown, sure, but liked it enough! Then one day I was wearing it and it started raining a bit. Now the hat needs a reblock. A pulpy mess, it is. No more modern Stetsons for me.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Glen Grey is a slightly cool hue. Maybe a little more neutral than a lighter steel grey.

    Akubra Overload

    There is no red tone in Regency Fawn. At all. I have a Sydney and Angler, both in Regency Fawn and purchased from David Morgan. Definitely an olive color. Monbla, maybe you're confusing colors? Would be easy to do with Akubra and all the different ____ Fawn names they have.

    Akubra Overload

    I have a Sydney in regency fawn. It's a muted brownish green. If people described it as olive or loden I wouldn't say they're wrong. It's a distinctly different color than Mid-Brown, which is darker in tone and richer in hue.

    Allie-Maillard Conformateur

    Sounds like a great project! Good luck with it! I was in Santa Fe a few months back and stumbled upon the O'Farrell Hat shop. After poking around and looking at all the hats (predominantly westerns) the salesperson plopped a similar device on my head and then put my shape on file, should I...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Another whiskey, bartender! I received my new VS over the weekend - thanks again, Art! Snapped a few pics in studio this morning before getting into actual work. Whiskey, 2 5/8" brim w/ underwelt, 12 ligne brown ribbon.

    Akubra Campdraft

    It's a neutral/slightly blue grey. No Silverbelly in the shot, but scroll down, Chuck Bobuck's pics are a pretty good representation - http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?41496-Akubra-colour-comparison-needed

    Moose River Hat

    The Moose River is pre-creased identically to the modern Stratoliner. The Strat's bound brim is 2 1/2" where as the Moose River is 2 3/8" and a raw edge. That and the ribbon treatment are the only differences.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Lefty, I have a pair of Bounty Hunter's from Baker's. Love 'em. About 2yrs old. Dress brown, no cap, lined, rolled top, loops (one did start to tear before I stopped using them). Vibram mini lug sole. Great boots - I wear them practically everyday through Fall-Winter-Early Spring. I've...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Beautiful hat, Jbucklin (and Art)! I'm in line and 95% sure to be going Whiskey. Thanks for the indirect affirmation! Must stop reading this thread now so the Dove urge subsides - at least for awhile.
