    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    After a moment's thought, I don't believe I have any friends under forty.

    The smartest, most timeless sunglasses?

    Style wise, yes. But the worst possible choice for tiding a motorcycle without a helmet with face shield. The nose stand-offs direct the wind right into your tear ducts and the tears blow across your eyes, blinding you. Wayfarers are a much better choice in this application.

    I love the rope band! Looks nautical. I think I'll try it on my navy Stetsonian.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    For a lot of people nowadays the only thing they think of when Bogart is mentioned is "Don't Bogart that joint", not The Maltese Falcon or Casablanca

    Out for a walk on a rare sunny day in SE Alaska. The $11 ebay Resistol seems to be my favorite hat these days.

    what do you do ...?

    After fourteen years in the US Army, I found The Dream Job in Hawaii. I retired in 2007 and set about living my new dream. I make beer money making videos for YouTube. Brimmed hats are a bit awkward at sea but are always a part of my shoregoing rig.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Pulled the trigger on this 'never worn' Stratton Trooper from a fellow in Anchorage. For $23 I figure I can't go wrong. Should be just the thing for outdoors in SE Alaska this Summer.

    Stetson Nostalgia Discontinued?

    Old thread, I know but I thought I would mention that I found this NOS Stetsonian Nostalgia in Navy, size 7 at Bernie Utz in Seattle in January 2017.

    The Stetsonian Institution

    I was disappointed when I got back to my hotel and removed the hat from the box to find that the store clerk had removed the price tag from inside the sweat band that had the information on it. Of course I did not get the original box either. The only markings on the sweat band are the Stetson...
