    Looking for an everyday "Adventure" Straw

    What you need is a Stratton service straw, imo they are swell hats (felt too) and will take lots of abuse. Look for vintage, and they are always pretty inexpensive. [huh] Here are six for thirty two bucks.

    BARBISIO (Italian made) DEEP SALE AT BARNEYS $225 reduced to $89 shipped Red

    Got mine today It came in the am. It is as thin & supple as my vintage Borsos, though not quite as smoothly pounced, seems to run about 1/2 size small. Absolutely worth the coin, IMO. I'm gonna see if I can get another.

    Miller Hats

    If they ARE still made up there I can only think that they must be made by Magill hats, which is a shame, 'cuz they suck out loud.:mad:

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I just gave away my sulphur cabinet & am fresh out of oxalic. Baking soda, salt and toothpaste all seem too abrasive. I going to try Bickmore Nu Straw. I'll let you know.

    Straw cleaner I am in need of a product/technique that will safely clean a number of nice monti's. Johnson's baby shampoo on a damp rag? [huh]

    Panama Hat Thread

    Akubra once offered "Scotch Guarding" as an option. As for the band the RCMP/Ranger bands from WPG are great. I have bought a few & want a few more.

    I think you could be successful in turning the rear brim up, as a dress hat, certainly if you had a flange, I would think. The band, being made of grouse feathers, will take some getting used to, but you're right, it's very low key & doesn't really register as feather unless you scrutinize it...

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    I'm sorry, my mistake. So you got a new STETSON® Premier Strat that behaved this way? :eeek: You, Sir, have a refund/exchange & apology coming your way, IMO. That's unconscionable. That said; 7 1/2 vintage Strat/Open Roads & clones DO come around (on ePay), but you gotta be diligent. One...

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    Contemporary furfelt seems all over the place. Your initial beef was about a Christy's right? (too lazy to look for it) Many at COW say the felt is very airy, fluffed. I had the old Adventurer but have since flipped it. I thought it a serviceable hat at under $100 USD, but with sloppy stitching...
