    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

When pounced, the finish becomes soft as a peach, block just fine, hold up in all kinds of weather......but still have...

    FOR SALE - 1950'S KNOX Panama Upbrim Pencil Curl SZ 7 1/8

    Its a true 7 1/8. I wear 7 long oval and its very comfortable. Often when I buy vintage straws, I have to buy 7 1/8 because regular 7's don't fit me. As far as I can tell, the sweatband hasn't shrunk at all.

    So whats so horrible about the new Stetsons anyway?

    Very interesting, Tom. I never noticed it before, but the Wanderer looks just like a Playboy but with a bound edge. I wonder what made up that 5 dollar price difference? Quality designation perhaps?

    To Ribbon, Or Not To Ribbon

    Actually I think the bow design that you used looks GREAT! Its very reminiscent of bow designs used on 1930's Derbys. I have also seen similar bow designs in 2 inch ribbon used on soft hats from that time period.
