Stetson Sizing?
Question for vintage Stetson hat aficionados: let’s say a guy wants to sell me an old OR from the 50’s. It measures 22 1/8” circumference. My head measures right at 22 1/4”. Would you chance it? I mean, I have a hat jack, just not too sure about moving it 1/8 of an inch without warping the brim... -
The Open Road Guild
Good evening, gents! Will a modern Stetson OR qualify for the Guild membership? I’ve owned this OR in Royal Deluxe for about a year now. Today was the first time I wore it to town. I was never satisfied with how the factory molded cattleman’s crease looked on me so it has been sitting in it’s... -

I can't speak for the current stratoliner as I've never had one. But I'm not a fan of the cookie cutter factory molded creases in some of stetson's modern offerings. I had taken a hiatus from hat hunting for a few years and in that time, the Stetson Premiere stratoliner with open crown campaign... -

Valuable information right there! I'm 6', 185-190, 7 1\8 LO so I think the more moderate profiles suit me much better. You have some awesome hats, btw. I'm donning the campdraft in my profile pic. When I first got it months ago, I thought it was ginormous on me. But it seemed smaller with time... -

Thank you so much, Eric, for your input and the links. I looked them over and was tremendously enlightened, especially with the side by side comparisons. Michael hasn't even gotten to me yet for my first and I'm already planning a second. -

@Short Balding Guy I’m also very interested in the looks and profile of your Gannon Playboys. I can see the Playboy has a moderate ribbon and no binding on the brim. Are the profile dimensions the same or similar to a Strat clone? I’d say a Playboy is possibly in the mix now. -

Yes sir! All of your hats strike my fancy! I asked Michael about a 40’s inspired Stratoliner to which he said, “no problem, I can do that.” However, I’m intrigued by your hats called Wanderer. Help me out here, what is the difference, besides the ribbon treatment, between a vintage Strat and... -

Well gents, I've been through every page of this thread over the last week, as time allowed. Mind you, I did not read every word. I mainly checked out the pictures and then read what was said about the pics. But I also caught myself reading quite a few comments not related to a specific picture... -

I’ll share a couple or three shots of my Sand Campdraft. When brand knew I fooled around with a dry cattleman’s crease and didn’t care for the way it looked on me. I then put in a dry diamond and liked it much better on me. Once I decided on the diamond, I did like others suggested and used... -

So I think I’m satisfied with the bash, for the moment anyway. -

Yeah, when I woke up this morning I noticed it had a little more upward curl…….the brim flange, that is. I’ll be keeping an eye on that. -

Bringing an old thread back to life. I’ll submit my application here. -

The SBCD finally found its way home. Much to my surprise, the box was in pristine condition. Blew my mind. Of course, there was the handwritten note from Trudi as well. First impressions: rather firm. I won’t say stiff but firm enough that it doesn’t want to hold side dents for very long. The... -

Just got a notification that a package has been left at my front door. Looks like I will have to make a run home real quick and check it out. Obviously, the tracking number from the AU post stopped once it was cleared through customs. -
Akubra Campdraft
Will do. I’m not very photogenic but I’ll definitely put some up of the hat! -

The tracking for my SBCD shows it was finally processed through Chicago customs and “received by postal carrier for delivery” this past Saturday. That was the 18th. Three days later and I can’t see that it has moved an inch since. Maybe that’s where the tracking stops and I’ll come home from... -

Well, the second photo answers an important question; what would TN look like in a sweet Pendleton Board shirt and a matching BG CD?? The answer is — freakin’ awesome! -

Awesome hats! I’m getting some Ted Nugent vibes from the second pic! -

I’m new around here and I don’t know anyone on this forum as no one knows me either. However, I would also like to offer my condolences. I hope and pray for the best as you and her loved ones cope with this loss. God bless! -
