    The Stratoliner Association {Premiere}

    Bought my mink about a year ago as well and it has the same sweatband you describe. Must have been the standard at that time.

    If you could only wear one hat, what color would be ideal?

    Gray with maybe a hint of blue, like Art Fawcett's Blue Smoke, and a black ribbon.

    The Stratoliner Association {Premiere}

    Cool sweatband with the plane and "Stratoliner" in that script. My mink premier Stratoliner did not have that.

    Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

    I would encourage you to do that. I have a mink Premier Stratoliner and it is a nice hat, but Mike does great work. I bought a hat from him, a silverbelly in a kind of Whippet style and it is great. I ordered a second hat from Mike almost right away. Take a look at his website and especially his...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    You are right, it is an odd choice. Seems they could have used a still from "Maltese Falcon" but maybe the studio figured since it was at least a picture of Humphrey Bogart accuracy was not a big deal. Or maybe the gangster imagery would attract more movie goers?

    "Sherlock Holmes in Washington" from 1943.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I could be wrong but I think it is actually his character in "High Sierra" Roy Earle. Hair style looks the same and he uses .45 automatics in that picture. It was released just 10 months prior to "Maltese Falcon" and Bogart was also the "star" (second billed behind Ida Lupino!)

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    Actually saw someone in Wal-Mart yesterday wearing one. I thought I would stand out wearing a Stetson Stratoliner, but the pith helmet topped me!

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    No, but it was in the tone of her voice, which does not translate here in the written word. If you had heard the smart aleck (and that's a nice way to say it) inflection, you have known it was not intended as a compliment.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Comments I have received have been mostly positive. I have been call Dick Tracy a time or two, but usually I get "nice hat." One nice comment was from an older lady at church: "I love your hat, you don't see enough men wearing them anymore." While in NC on a rather cold, rainy day I was wearing...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Yes, I have seen that one, it is great too. "Brother Orchid" is also very good, another comedy gangster film. With Humphrey Bogart too!

    FOR SALE: Stetson Open Road Royal DeLuxe 7 1/8 Prototype

    Mine too. Then again maybe it would harder. If I could fit into 7 1/8 I would have a lot more vintage hats... and my wife would probably kill me.
