The Sale of NOS Johnnyphi hats begins.
Hi, By 'smaller sizes' does that include size 7 and 7 1/8 or only 'smaller than size 7'??? You have me wondering how many more hats I might have to my list that I don't even know about yet! :eek: Then, again, maybe I *don't* really want yo know the answer to this question - or at... -

Stetson "Westerner"
Hi, Last evening I was thinking about my two Resistol San Antonios and my one Resistol Saddler. They appear to be the same hat, even though the names on the style tags are different. As I thought about it I wound up bothered by this enough to get out the stick-with-lines and do a little more... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Here's an oddball Hi, I won this on eBay, and it arrived yesterday: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=220276346802 It's an Open Road style, and the crown was actually reshaped when I pulled it out of the box. Why in heck didn't the seller do... -
WHAT HAVE I JUST WON? Update: It Arrived
Hi, :offtopic: Big-fly fishing lures do exist. I have one in my kit for snagging Muskies, and the thing is big enough to use for a tow truck hook! Seriously, the hook is made from 1/16" diameter stainless steel, is 6" long and the hook circle diameter is 1 1/4". It also has this huge... -
WHAT HAVE I JUST WON? Update: It Arrived
Hi, Hey, buddy! That's a fishin' lure, fer sure! Fishermen always keep spare lures in their hats, don't cha know! Just wander on up with the hat and lure and we'll fire up the old Army Jeep and head to river and catch us some catfish! :p Of course, we catch catfish using what's known as a... -
Is An Open Road an Open Road if it Doesn't Say Open Road?
Hey! Yeah! Hi, Hmmm. A Green Open Road..... That's what I need! A green Open Road with Yellow ribbon. Just the thing to wear to my antique farm equipment shows!! lol lol lol lol lol Later! Stan -
AUCTION #90: Adam - Majestic - Size 7 - C0000228953-closed
Hi, Hmmm. $6.00 in 1950 equals $51.16 according to this online inflation calculator I use. Now, this is 2008 and the hat may actually be a bit older, so I therefore bid: $83.00 In current non-inflation-adjusted PayPal dollars! lol Stan -

Fedora without a suit advice
I do it every day Hi, My usual attire is a golf shirt, blue jeans and black work boots. Yes, I could wear a full suit to work if I desired. Electrical engineers in an R&D lab environment can wear just about anything. The Japanese contigent around here usually *do* wear suits (but never... -
Stetson "Westerner"
Not the same Hi, That last one referenced is not the same hat as the one you won. I see the one you won as a thin dress weight felt with all the look of a Stetson Open Road. This other one is made from the heavier felt and has the rope style ribbon common on cowboy hats. I see what is... -
Stetson "Westerner"
Hmmm. Hi, The Plot Thickens. I just can't tell for sure about the sweatband printing. It does sort of look like it might be the usual Stetson label on the sweat. However, the quality is low and there's just not enough of it there to be sure. I pulled the image into Photoshop, and the more... -
Favorite bash or crease
Hi, Montana Peak: Think 'Campaign Hat', as in: Drill Instructor, State Trooper, Smokey the Bear. ;) I also do not know the Oreanna..... Hey! I see where there are now *two* votes for the Cattleman's Crease! All Right! Now we're cookin'! lol Later! Stan -
Stetson "Westerner"
It's a Resistol, not a Stetson, I think Hi, I'm 99% sure that's a vintage Resistol. Resistol used both the name 'Western' and 'Westerner' on their hats in the 1950's. I have a few of these, and you'd never be able to tell the difference from a Stetson Open Road without looking at the name... -

Firemans Helmet
Hi, They originated with FDNY, I think. At least the US style of them, anyway. The Cairns Brothers we refer to have made them seemingly forever, and they are *the* brand to have for most firefighters. The traditional design is to use leather panels. Those ridges you see are the panel... -
Firemans Helmet
Hi, I have several going back to 1880. The really old ones have dried out and shrunk. The newest leather I have is a 1947 Cairns that I wore in-service when I first joined the FD in my old hometown back in 1977. I know it's a 1947 since that helmet was from the first batch when the FD was... -
Favorite bash or crease
I wanna vote twice as well! Hi, Well, so far, I'm the lone vote for the Cattleman's crease. I also like the simple center crease with a front pinch but that one isn't on the list. If I could vote twice, I'd also vote for 'other' so as to include this one. Oh, well. My two best Fedoras... -
The Sale of NOS Johnnyphi hats begins.
Add me to the list as well Hi, I have a list of my own here. It consists of four hats from the 7-1/8 collection and six hats from the 7 collection - all of which have yet to be listed. I'm a 7-1/16, so the bad news is that I have to work a little bit on factory-made hats to get them to fit... -
Who Makes the Best Open Road?
Hi, I have two vintage Resistol OR-style hats, and two Stetson Open Roads. I have one 'No-X' and one 'XdoubleX' Resistol. I have one regular Stetson OR and one 'Twenty-Five'. The order of 'niceness' (felt, sweatband, ribbon, build etc) goes as such: Resistol 'XdoubleX' (so, is that two...
