The box thing can get maddening. After months I just paired a Disney with a Disney box, but not just any box. The hat had a 3 inch brim so it had to be a big one!
Like everything about that hat! I'm sure the metal tag can be removed without much trouble. A little steam and brushing would probably remove the pin hole or thread holes.
I bought two of the Premiere Stratoliners last year and one Stetsonian this year. The Stratoliners are pretty close in shape and proportion. Felt quality is not great on either of the two colors I have, Mink and Cornhill. Better than their regular quality but not by much.
I bought a Stetsonian...
Bob, it is so good to "see" you! Looking sharp! Gotta get me one of those straw hats with some venting in the crown. Looks like just the thing for a humid day.
Cool colors on that Dobbs, Moon. Digging that Borso as well, Harv.
Finally moved and am enjoying the summer carnivals in Pennsylvania
(not easy taking a selfie and getting everyone in on a moving Merry-go-round)
WC, putting that wider ribbon on also, visually takes away from the crown height from how a thinner Playboy style ribbon may look. It's a good looking hat, I'd give it a spin for a while.
I've got two coming;
This Sears Pilgrim that I got on the cheap. Kind of a Playboy/Wanderer vibe
And this Borsalino. Also a good price mainly, I believe, because it needs a serious reblocking and perhaps a few stitches to secure that unreeded sweatband. I've handled worse. I've been...
Mayser, I've been meaning to ask; You've shown many wonderful velours, they looks so warm and cozy, are they warmer than a regular felt hat? How do they compare?
Harv, I covet that hat! That is a perfect go anywhere do anything hat! I know I've asked before, did you ever get the box? The Flagship box is so cool.
Ole, welcome back and my condolences on your sister.
That 3X is a knockout, Fruno. We'll probably never know how much beaver fur is in a 3X (30% maybe) but it does make a difference. I like mine a lot and am always looking for more of them.
