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

    How are the brim and crown on your Original Forty Seven? I saw on another thread that someone said it was smaller than they had expected.

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

    Hatcountry appears to be offering this hat too, although at a higher price and longer wait. If anyone has this hat now, I would love to hear about how breathable the material is, especially compared to a natural straw. I've considered ordering this hat but wondered if it's better to pay more...

    grammy hat??

    That looks like a Roadster that's been taken out of the box and "distressed". I wonder if it's the retailer who's taking the initiative here.

    Stetson Roadster

    I bought a Roadster a couple years ago and wasn't happy with how it looked on me. But you are definitely pulling it off. Well done.

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

    It may just be the lighting, but I have a silverbelly Alessandria from Bencraft Hatters that appears much lighter than the shade on Delmonico's website. Maybe two different production runs? Bencraft doesn't list silverbelly on their website but you may want to give them a call and see what they...

    That is indeed JJ Hat Center, which is located in New York. The store's Twitter account confirms the appearance.

    Have you tried searching online for a Greek fisherman's cap or a fiddler cap? That's what it looks like to me.

    I own this hat and mine is a little less than 4 inches at the front crease. Also, my brim is more like 2 3/8 even though the tag says 2 1/2.

    I recently looked into the crown of my Panama hat and noticed a bunch of straw ends poking inwards. They don't appear to be broken ends but rather rings of new straws entering the weave. Is this normal? Does it indicate damage or poor construction? I've tried looking at photos of hat interiors...

    I bought a Beaver Brand hat last year and it's held up pretty well after the dozen or so times I've worn it in the rain. I won't say it looks brand new but it hasn't lost it's shape. I don't have an Akubra so I can't make a comparison. I still see a few Beaver Brand hats here and there online...
