I like my Fed IV but I was disappointed with the height of the crown. I can't do a proper diamond bash on a Fed IV without it looking short on top like a 50s small crown hat. I do not believe the profile is based on a 1920s hat block like they claim. The sadly discontinued Stetson Stetsonian...
Hello, everyone. I've posted here a few times and I'd like to introduce myself. My username comes from my favorite guitar amp, a 1960 Fender Bassman. I like things that last, things that are made well, and things that transcend temporary fashion trends. I like anything that is cool. I'm a blues...
I found an original pin for my Premiere Stratoliner. It was listed as a lapel pin! For once I got lucky. Not lucky enough to have a small head so I can wear an original Stratoliner, but....
I'm so happy! I finally found a new-old-stock caribou Stetsonian in my size (7 3/4)! My tawny Stetsonian was clearly a 2nd but this one is flawless. Sadly I must wait until Christmas night to put a diamond bash on it, but I have something to look forward to.

I want a 30s-style tall, non-tapered crown fedora. Stetson doesn't seem to keep one in production for my big 7 3/4 head. Is the Federation IV my best solution?
I'd like to say hello. Like many others, I've always admired the style and panache of men who wore fedoras. I'm 50 and I want to dress like a man. I no longer want to go out in public wearing shorts, t-shirts, or ball caps. Sadly, I'm cursed with a giant 7 3/4 head, which means I can't find...
