My pre OPS tag stratoliner has a side seam in the liner and my mid 50's is a back seam liner. After viewing numerous photos in FL, I've noticed the same arrangement. Wondering, is this just happenstance, or is there some consistency in other examples?
I had this hat since April, and have treated it roughy on dusty construction sites. This is a sage that has faded to perfection in my opinion. I have washed it in soapy water several times and it is now wonderfully soft and has retained its shape.
P.S. I have two backups, one sage, one navy...
Yes, the building's history is interesting.
City owned for decades and used for fire department practice burnouts.
Now a top notch bar restaurant
I'll definitely check it on next Tucson trip.
Hoping to get some help on dating this. Comparing it to one dated , by Moon (thank you), early to mid 50's, it has several differences. For one it is an unreeded sweat and the felt is much softer and lighter. Also the brim is 2 3/4", opposed to 2 1/2.
Also wondering if the region in which it is...
Ya know, I never heard that term before being from above the line, but I like it.
I actually thought it looked like my modern graphite, but a touch lighter. From now on I'll use your terminology.
Thank you.
Right you are. When I was looking for a new lid to replace my 30 year old wool cheapie, I was drawn to the strats.
All of a sudden I have about 6 moderns, plus a dozen miscellaneous older things. But this vintage stratoliner is the last hat I'll need. (Yeah right)
