Cal-Leather
I called them last week to inquire about bringing or sending a jacket in for a cleaning and resto work, and they answered and sounded fine. I think it’s a small operation that puts out a quality product and work on what ever time and resources they have at the moment. Give them another...- Kane

Tarnished Brass Zippers and a Question about Cal-Leather
Howdy folks, I’m hoping to get a little advice from all you sage loungers and jacket aficionados. I have just taken possession of a very nice Cal-Leather CHP style leather jacket, but it’s a bit of a diamond in the rough. There are a few minor issues but it’s beautiful leather and a pretty good...- Kane

STETSON GUN CLUB
Here’s a recent Stetson Gun Club that my daughter, bless her heart, bought for me from Filson. It was marketed as a collaboration between Filson and Stetson, but as far as I can tell it’s a regular current issue Gun Club with a skinny leather band with a Filson badge and a jacked-up price tag... -
Military style pants
$15 plus the cost of having them fit. I think they had a lot of them:- Kane

Military style pants
I recently bought a pair of heavy wool m1951 pants from a surplus seller on EBay for around $15. Really nice material, should be great for a cooler weather pant. They’re pleated and have buttons inside the adjustable waist band for a liner to attach, but I think they would also work for...- Kane

Panama Hat Thread
This is an inspiring thread. With the weather taking a turn here in Southern California I’m thinking of getting a new straw hat. Other than the cheap hats I go though at the lawnmower supply store that last a couple of weeks before they fall apart, my current straw hat is a Stetson western... -
Akubra Campdraft
Nice looking hat. I like the way you did the brim. Just curious: other than the printing on the sweatband, does this CD differ from a regular CD? -

bashing my new hat
Is that the imperial or the heritage felt? How does the felt feel? My Campdraft in heritage felt is nice but a little on the stiff side. -

Well done! It looks great. Can you get Cuban cigars in Warsaw? This would be a good time to fire up a nice Cuban. It will go well you with your new hat. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
I’ll be taking this Premier Stratoliner for her maiden voyage today. Got this hat yesterday, and I’m really impressed by the soft and light felt on this new Stetson. I guess it shows that Stetson or Hatco or whomever is making these can still put out a pretty sweet lid. This is with an... -

Hello, I am following up on a question I asked here recently concerning the quality of Stetson’s Premier felt vs. an older 4x Beaver felt. As mentioned before, after receiving your wise input I pulled the trigger on a new Premier Stratoliner that was on EBay. The hat arrived today, and I wanted... -

Akubra Overload
Hello Akubra folks, Here is a picture of a metal wire that has begun to protrude from the ends of the sweatband of my fairly new Campdraft Deluxe. I have had the hat for about a month now, and have been wearing it a lot to try to get it to shrink down as it’s a very roomy fit (I’m thinking it’s... -

Thank you for your insight and info. I have been looking at two hats on EBay: one an 80’s Silverbelly Open Road in 4x Beaver, and the other a new Silverbelly Premier Stratoliner (open crown). Both in my size and both $150. The seller claims that the Premier Strat’s felt is “soft, light, and very... -

Here’s a question for the Stetson experts: Which hat would have a better felt: A current production Royal Deluxe in the Premier open crown variety, or an 80’s era 4X Beaver? I know that the simple answer would be the 4x Beaver, but I have read that the 4x may not actually have beaver in it, and... -

Here’s another hat dating question: Stetson Open Road with a plain white satin liner, brown leather sweat band, hat pin that is just the word “Stetson” as a block of letters, and the red and black square box. Would this be ‘80’s era? ‘90’s era?
