Of course that is the hook , the Stetson name. But personally having just bought a 2015 quality Stetson I am satisfied. Having vintage and having one of the new hats it seems the quality is there on my particular model. If promotion of the hat benefits that's all good. I am one who respects...

May have be posted already but interesting that the recent quality of the 2 hats I bought are quite excellent.

Was not sure where to put this link. This is probably the reason the Stetson is getting better.
Quality
I agree with you on the quality as I posted the 2 Pinnacles I bought, One a 150 anniversary as well.
When I first saw your post I thought, Wow where did you get a vintage unblocked Stratoliner.
Cant wait to see it blocked as well.
Great buy
Color
Thanks. Was not aware the color could vary that much. I also heard that the block stiffness is different between colors. The caribou is less stiff than the mink.
I love them both though. Have no intention of snapping down the brims either. Love the raw edge.
Color
It is called Mink. A few members have them. They are available all over the US. I got mine from the Hatter in Toronto. The price is relatively the same US Canadian. So if you bought one here you would save the exchange.
Size and Fit
Fits fantastic. With a haircut :-) it fits perfect with some space. Without it fits perfect but the hair fills it in a bit more. I got a 7 3/8. I can wear 7 1/4 but recently I find that 7 3/8 is just a better fit vintage wise.
Really good product for 325 Canadian
150th anniversary Stetson Pinnacle Pure Beaver Mink. Stiffer than the Caribou I got 6 months ago. Brim is turned up a bit more. Funny since a member mentioned that about the caribou. how it might look nicer upturned a bit more.
Great quality , firm block. very soft felt. Did not think I could...
Was trying to get something similar to this. Stetson did not disappoint.
Yes you can flip and snap the brim anyway you like.
The color of Jacks hat is exactly the color of the caribou pinnacle.
