    As of this week, Optimo will not. Any other vendor suggestions for the lazy-inclined?

    Musician's hats

    I used Pinterest for all of like five minutes a few months back, but in that five minutes, I created a board called "Tilted & Cocked: Musicians in Felt Fedoras." https://www.pinterest.com/geetarjunkie/tilted-%2B-cocked/ That was a fun five minutes, but as soon as I discovered the lounge...

    Vintage Whippets

    http://www.stetsonhat.com/products_detail.php?id=1336 Has anyone seen a modern Stetsonian in "Light Grey" in person, and can vouch for the "Light'ness" as opposed to darker Caribou? I can't find an image online to save my life. - m

    Interesting. Kirk, what makes you say so — the Stetsonian's crown height?

    Natural! Stetson's store does not currently include all of these color options online. Is it safe to assume all of these are readily available if we call in an order, or would retailers have more luck seeking them out?

    Vintage Whippets

    Stetson lists a Premier Whippet in Natural online (the color Deckard identifies in his photo caption), but their site does not include an image to verify that the lid's trim colors match Deckard's post. http://www.stetsonhat.com/products_detail.php?id=1337 Can anyone vouch for Stetson's...

    Akubra Campdraft

    My first Campdraft showed up today courtesy of Colin @ JJ Hat Center (how cool is it that someone had this in stock stateside in my size!). The sheer size of this lid is going to take some time getting used to; I just got comfortable with my modern Strat and vintage OR. - m

    Vintage Whippets

    I was creeping Matt Deckard's instagram page earlier today, and two images nearly knocked me out of my desk chair onto the floor. He captioned a photo "Premier Whippet 1937 edition in natural," which is coincidentally nearly identical to the Johnny Depp hat that's often the topic of discussion...

    Bob, I love the analogy and have to ask: what's your axe of choice? I'm a vintage tele and 335 guy. My guitar collection heavily outweighs my hat collection, so I'll gladly trade music knowledge for lid expertise. Pics scattered throughout here: https://www.instagram.com/photog_matt_elder/ - m

    Thanks Hatophile, I'll add Etsy to my regular scrolling routine!

    Settle down, now. Don't confuse my sanity comment as directed to the seller (good for him/her). Let it be known that I am questioning the purchaser's, however, as I am my own in retrospect.

    Jack, I see your post, and raise you an additional $217! http://www.ebay.com/itm/231761998497?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT My absolute dream bucket: 40s Whippet (and yes Andykev, it actually was clean). I was ready to sell the house, dog, and guitar collection...

    Mike, thanks again for the recommendation. I just placed an order for an AM in mid-brown, and it will arrive mid-December (just in time for the holidays!). My gut already tells me that I'll be sending it to Colin at JJ Hat Co for a teardrop bash after arrival, but we'll see. - m

    The Other Open Roads.....

    Piggybacking on the OR conversation, does anyone have suggestions for where to order wind trolleys/cords that can be added to the hats listed above? I have a modern Strat I'd like to add one to for that "vintage" vibe. Thanks, - m

    Thanks. Noticed the same thing online, all 7's or smaller. I'm a 7 1/4.

    Cool, I had a feeling the conversation would steer this way. Next step is recommendations on custom hatters. Anyone?
