    Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat

    New Strat If they were going to recycle, the way to go would've been a thin ribbon, bound brim NOSTALGIA re-boot. Better proportions & truer in form to its' original, iconic namesake, IMHO.

    Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat

    Wow :jaw: Your right tho' ... looks like a downs/temple/chatham with a thin ribbon & the selfsame unbalanced proportions of most of their dress hat line. As far as modern Stetsons go, dollar for dollar, I'd prefer a Roadmaster to this "Stratoliner". Sure would like to see some measurements...

    HEY, Auron!!!!

    ...you are not set up for pms so I will have to tell you here that you've mistaken me for another. I have never ordered from Art & never used a Conformer. Many others here have though, so I suggest you throw the question open to the forum. Sorry to be of no help.

    Shorpy All Stars

    *yucky* Poor pre & post natal nutrition, high bacterial loads of human pathogens & high parasite loads coupled with a diet relatively high in bulk & low in protein & animal fats, particularly saturated fats. (MMmmm saturated fats!)

    Australian Dollar weak again...

    Oh, Canada >sigh<...I remember going to Canada on .65 Loonies, ya' felt like a king, you did... those days are gone. This is Canada's Century, IMHO. They own the 2nd largest proven oil fields on earth & something like 35% of the fresh water on the planet. Let's "liberate" Canada! Who's with...

    Reds did not wear hats

    Thank you, my friend. They are not yet all mine. But will be. Those guys were a precursor to our "Greatest Generation" & my heroes, and besides in For Whom the Bell Tolls Gary Cooper has a great proto- "Indiana Jones" thing goin' & Bergman... what can I say? She simply never looked lovelier...

    Cheap fur felts + free shipping thu 12/31

    Cool, I wondered when these guys would get some more fur felts in. If you recall, we-un's of TFL drove these folks near to crazy a couple of years back when they had Akubras at nickles on the dollar. I haven't purchased one of these yet, so I cannot vouch for anything other than their modest...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    New (to me) Peter Bros. "Michaelson Indy" Borsalino- Clipper Gray Stoopid cheap on a BIN some months back. Nice felt, my first time to handle a contemporary Borsalino. Can't compare to vintage, needless to say, for one thing; the felt is much thicker. A thickness not unlike a western, but...
