    Stetson 100 to Optimo

    I am in no way the arbiter of what is allowed here or not. Sorry if I came off in such a smug way. Also, to the original poster, I'm not accusing you of wrongdoing and am interested in the outcome. The entire story on this Stetson 100 will be informative to everyone - exactly what this site...

    Stetson Gresewood Leather....First Hat...

    Hello Ian, and welcome to The Fedora Lounge. Over the years, I've owned several leather hats. A couple could be considered trilbys by their style/proporions and few others were 'Outback' style hats. I still have a couple of them. The ones with smooth, almost shiny surfaces were fabulous rain...
