Here are some outdoor shots. Really like this hat. Thanks Robert!
It looks like a rich darker green in person. Kind of dark moss or a dark forest green shade. The underside of the brim showing in one of the above photos is best representation of the color.
Here is a pic with some deeper side dents and a more down turned front brim. Spritzed it with some distilled water to shape it, so its still got a little water on it. The felt has kind of a suede finish on it.
A trip to the outlet in Garland resulted in a new Ultralight Stratoliner in Grey Mix. It is a nice thin felt with no liner and a cloth sweat. I think it will be wearable in a little bit warmer weather then my other modern Strats. I have only seen these online and was intrigued by the idea of...
Thanks to Robert, I now have a rich dark green and very nice Nutria hat! It is a Winchester felt. Really soft to the touch. Crown ribbon is in serpent color I think. I will try to get some photos in the sunlight this week. It is just an excellent felt. I feel the pull of trying to see if it...
Ok I was forced to go to an event in Dallas this weekend. The bright side other than eating too much was that we were close to hallowed ground, the Stetson Outlet in Garland. Fewer dress hats than I have ever seen. Quite a few wool hats and a few fur felt in my size. I walked out with only...
Well its a modern Stetson from the outlet store. I presume it is a whippet with the leather hatband instead of a ribbon. One of those odd things you can only find at the outlet. I think they should offer more ribbon or band options on hats. I have found some strats with leather hatbands...
I just went to the USPS website and checked and 12 x 16 x 8 is still like $14 something. I think they raised prices a little recently. If you want to check the cost for different sizes go to:
USPS and click on Send. Then click on Calculate a Price. Put in shipping date and zip codes for from...
Pre-covid there was the orginal Rogue Bar down on the wharf. Hopefully it is still going strong. Good restaurants. I really enjoyed Newport. Hope you guys get to go.
Akubra Stylemaster from The Hattery in Katoomba. Very moldable crown, I am quite surprised to be able to dry bash it easily, and have it hold a shape. I figured with as stiff as it seems it would take distilled water to be able to do much with the crown. The brim does snap but it is somewhat...
Stylemaster showed up today from The Hattery. It is bluegrass green. Here are some quick pics. The other hat is a Campdraft in bluegrass green. The Stylemaster is a little greener and very slightly less bluegreen. It is a tiny bit lighter in color but in some light they look virtually...
