Thanks!! And yeah, when I’m in Kansas on my parents farm I’m in a wide brim Resistol western but I’d feel way too looked at wearing one of those in a big city. Started wearing shorter brims in response— so far have a modern Open road and now this vintage Stratoliner. Will probably pick up an...
Headed out for some coffee in my new to me Royal Stratoliner (mid 50s). Posted some before and after pics of this one in the Post New Hats thread yesterday but today’s my first time wearing it out. Shaped the brim and crease off of some Great Depression era pictures of Texas cattlemen.

Normally I’m not a fan of artificially aged hats (y’all know the ones I mean) but this one I’m justifying because A, I did it exclusively for a True Grit (2010) costume, not coachella. And B, it was a cheap, low quality crushable wool Stetson that I wasn’t really going to wear ever.
Think I...
My next hat will likely be an Akubra, I’ve never worn them before but always hear good things! Probably will get a Campdraft though as I’m sticking to shorter brims while in London. When I’m back out in the country in Kansas I’ll go back to the bigger brims. The territory looks nice for open...
