    Modern Open Road Stetson Question

    You make some good points - I think the main interest for many is the open crown. For myself, I like the look of the Miller Douglas, but they have a no refund policy. I won't buy a hat on the internet that I can't return. It's the same issue with ordering a Campdraft from Oz, too expensive to...

    Your opinions, please.

    And the right demeanor Yeah, that sounds right --- you'd have to be a tough old m*&?f!@* to pull that hat off. Of course a pretty girl could have her way with it....

    Modern Open Road Stetson Question

    Now that you mention it.... Since I asked this question, I've been re-reading some threads and came across a few prior comments about the poor quality of the felt on this hat. The only upside would be that LLBean would take any hat back with no questions, so one could roll the dice and see...

    Moose River Hat

    A similar hat Noggintops has an almost identical hat called the Bear Creek: http://www.noggintops.com/page.cfm?p=52 It's Sovereign felt, which has a soft, comformable texture and is probably higher quality than the Bean hat - different color, though. The description talks about a comfort...

    Maybe on a fishing boat with a big Irish cable knit sweater. Not on land, though, I think....

    Modern Open Road Stetson Question

    Fair enough, my Chatham has some ripples in the brim as well. I guess I'll wait to see if the Open-Crown-Open-Road arrives. I find I prefer a welted or bound brim these days anyway...

    Modern Open Road Stetson Question

    Side question How was the felt on the LLBean hat? 2-3/8 works well for me and the price is right.

    Modern Open Road Stetson Question

    Works for me Or I could take a stock 2-3/4 brim OR with no crease and minimal crown stiffener from the current model as gtdean suggests.

    Akubra Sydney: A Review

    Looking good Skyvue, you're looking good in that Sydney, I'm glad it went to a good home. It's originally from Noggintops (on sale now, btw). At the time I listed it for sale, I included some photos - they're done with and without flash, with and without bash, and give a good idea of the...

    Modern Open Road Stetson Question

    Very pretty I myself would prefer 2-1/2", if that makes it a modern Stratoliner, that's fine by me. But I would pull the trigger equally quickly on a 2-3/4" brim. It has to come in size 7-3/4 for me --- But I'll wager there's at least a dozen big-head guys on this forum who will jump on an...

    What's this crease?

    Nice Good one - but 1 too many points - how about oblique hexagonal telescope bash.

    Akubra Sydney: A Review

    The Sydney I bought last spring from Noggintops had no wind trolley as you mention, but it did have the sexy red liner.

    Stetson "Nostalgia"? (now with pics)

    Hi Topdog - here's a recent thread where the fate of the Bencraft Nostalgia was discussed: http://thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=37638 It sounds like Besdor sent their order back as flawed and declined to order more, but ordered the new Whippet for the fall. The Whippet appears to...

    Modern Open Road Stetson Question

    GTD - if you get the Douglas, I hope you'll post your impressions - I'm interested but am not there yet.... On another thread, HATCO hinted &/or entertained the idea that it might be possible to get ahold of the current model at some point in the production pre-stiffener and open crown. This...

    1950,s cavanagh edge 7 3/8 mint grey $ 95.00 SHIPPED

    Same hat? Didn't you already list this hat as being from the 1930s and with a different price? The pictures certainly look identical...

    wild sport coat

    I like it - it looks like a Burberry-type to me. If that secondary color is brownish, you could wear the jacket with brown or taupe trousers, maybe even tan. I bet it would also work with jeans and no tie, although I don't wear (or have) jeans myself anymore.

    So, what happened with the bound-edge Nostalgia?

    That sounds pretty good to me - I need a tan, er, tawny hat - I look forward to seeing them when they arrive...
