    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    This was always OK. Watch old movies from 30's, 40's and 50's (my general guide to hat etiquette),You'll see plenty of guys with their hats on at bars and diner counters. In the dining area of a restaurant, no. I once went into a reasonably nice restaurant and the hostess told me to take my hat...

    Stetson Surplus

    +1 never seen an add for a ribbon treatment like that for Stetson (adds turn up all the time, who knows?), most likely someone replaced an original ribbon If you've got other Open Roads I wouldn't change a thing, it's well done

    Post New Hats Here!

    I've got the same hat, same vintage and no model name except yours is pristine and mine shows a lifetime of abuse. Kind of Stratoliner-ish, perhaps a little tall in the crown but ballpark. Hope we can find out what it is! I was wondering if this was a Missouri hat (circa 70's) from the time in...

    At the Dog Track... The Whippets

    +3 or something, Fruno! Very nice and I agree with Moon's assessment, early 50's. In Borsalino terms that color would be called "Bismuto". Not sure what Stetson called it, they had so many color variations and names

    +1 on the 100, takes your breath away. That hat with the fancy case is a grail hat for me

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yes, it's a Shudde refurb (although not by me) but has the Stetson logos on the liner and what must be a new sweatband. It's the slickest shiny leather I've ever felt in a sweatband. Doesn't seem to absorb sweat so good for the 90+ weather. Fruno, that is one sweet Whippet! I hope someday to...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yes, 7X Clear Beaver. Thanks Fruno and Moon. The RENSH business is RENovated by SHudde. It's a full 6 inch open crown, 2 7/8 brim. Sort of Open Road-ish but no brim binding or any sign it ever had any. More of a western, I guess

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Moehawk, I've got the same hat and am looking to do the same thing! The leather band just doesn't go with it Chamuco, always looking sharp and the light grey Temple is classic Ordinary, that Panama looks perfectly porportioned Job, great cap and Shurons Fruno, dig the Premiere and Mungo...

    How long does it take for Hats Direct to ship a hat?

    2 weeks or less for most of mine. One did take about 3 1/2 weeks like Java's. Scared me a little

    Open Road questions ??

    Those are good indicators although the stars hang in there til '51 or '52 and beyond. I've got a factory store hat (date on the sweat) that's from '58 with the stars logo...I'm wrong often enough myself and we are talking Stetson. Not always the most consistant.

    Open Road questions ??

    Moon, are you sure they are from the 40's? I believe the Open Road, in it's more modern form came out around '48

    Open Road questions ??

    My older 3X Open Road (which I got from gtdean48) is 3 inch brim and 5 5/8 open crown My mid to late 50's is the more typical 2 3/4 brim and 5 1/2 open crown
