    Stetson Range in Black ??

    The Range has become my everyday hat because I like 3" brim and the No. 11 profile which doesn't seem to be used on any other Stetsons that I'm aware of. Anyway, I'd like to get another Range but in black rather than the SB that I have now. The Stetson web site has it as being available in...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Got an Open Road straw a few weeks ago and you all know well enough what they look like - been too cold lately to cold to wear it though.

    Hat sizing revisited

    After reading your post I did this with a Stetson Range that was about one size too big. It fits perfectly now although it took two attempts at wetting the band and drying it out. No negative effects to the hat either so thanks for the information.

    To Feather or Not to Feather?

    My Stetson Range came with a small feather and I've left it on there because it doesn't bother me and it's the way the hat was styled by the factory so I'm leaving it stock so to speak. Sometimes I wear this hat with a pin strip business suit so perhaps the feather isn't quite right with that -...

    Sizes ?

    Email from Noggin Tops said that the decimal sizes on their site arose from some kind of computer error and they thought the problem had been fixed.

    What Hat That You Wear Has Got You The Most Comments.

    I only have westerns and no one says anything which is the way I want it. Been wearing a cav hat with black acorns all winter because it has the chin strap if needed. One thing I have noticed though is that the guards at the courthouse never check my ID when I roll in so I guess they remember...

    Sizes ?

    OK, thanks for the information. 7.25 and 7.75 I guess are easy enough but when Noggin Tops saw 6.875 as one of their sizes using this system they should have realized they were going down the wrong road with decimal values..lol

    Sizes ?

    I was going to order an Open Road straw from Noggin Tops but the size chart is something I've never seen before. Sizes list as follows: 6.875, 7.25, 7.65 and 7.75. Their other hat styles are listed in the usual format like 7&1/2, 7&5/8 etc. Anyone know what's up with the unusual sizes...

    Hats With Musical Instruments

    My hands are fine and I can play fiddle/bluegrass stuff on guitar faster than they need to be played but I think this is something to do with the guitar - profile too flat maybe. I should probably use the other guitars more might take the load off but this D-18 sounds like rolling thunder and I...

    Hats With Musical Instruments

    Yeah, I'm getting a little concerned about that myself. Been playing more than 45 years but the last 7 months or so I've put in a lot of time sometimes 6-8 hours in one go and now I got a cyst on my left wrist and a little pain in my left elbow. When I was younger I could play for days at a time...

    Most inconvenient places to be a hat wearer

    Some restaurants / bars can be a problem. I also have a 2010 150 and the hat just goes on the dash because the headrest is high and leans forward to where it just about hits the back of my head.

    Hats With Musical Instruments

    Martin 2012 D-18 bought about 6 months ago: Ovation 1974 Balladeer in it's case and a couple of others in the background: I'm including myself as an instrument since I sing...lol

    Hurricane Sandy

    Just endless rain here in TO. Power went off for about a minute and that was it. My cav hat has a chin strap so it didn't blow away.

    anti-hat article | The Guardian UK

    I didn't read it or click the link, I don't care about newspaper column writers and their views about one thing or another.

    Stetson: The Making of a Legend

    Great post, thanks. Kick-ass guitar music in the first one too. When I see them being made like that I figure a 4x beaver cattle hat is well worth the $200 or so that it'll cost. Not many things left these days that are still the real deal.

    Best option for for protecting fedora from heavy rain & snow?

    If you are near Toronto, Herb's Boots has about 10 Akubra styles to choose from and they also ship: http://www.herbertsboots.com/categories/Apparel/Hats/Felt-Hats/ They have two stores just north of Toronto. I was by there last week and tried some Akubras on - one was a perfect fit, maybe...
