The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
Any insight into this vintage Stratoliner I recently picked up? I love the color scheme. Sadly the felt quality doesn’t seem very nice (stiff, hard to shape) and the brim at 2 1/4 is a bit small for my taste. But the colors are really nice. thank you for the insight! I appreciate your expertise. -

Borsalino Felt Quality
Thank you for this helpful information. I was curious if the felt would change feel over time. Good to know that it does not. I think I will have to do research on higher quality felts and see what else compares with the Borsalino. Any recommendations on where to start? Thank you! -

Borsalino Felt Quality
Thank you for the thoughtful response. That makes sense about the timeline and felt quality. I’d say the Stetsons are from the late 40s-50s and they are very nice. Just not as soft and supple as the ludoela. Cheers on the beautiful hats! -

Borsalino Felt Quality
Hello all. I recently picked up a vintage Borsalino “ludoela” on eBay and have really taken to the feel of the felt. I have a couple nice vintage Stetsons and open road knock offs but none have the softness or the ability to shape like the Borsalino. When it arrived it showed up in a... -

Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!
Hello historical hat experts! Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this vintage hat I acquired. Some sort of stratoliner clone but no brand or info in the sweatband. What I do know is that the felt is amazingly light, moldable, and soft and it so happens that I really like it. Cheers! -

WTB Light colored Stratoliner Style 6 7/8
Hey all! I have two very nice old dark colored Stratoliner clones that I’ve picked up this past year. My favorite is a dark grey that is unbranded. Very nice thin but soft felt. I’m looking to see if anyone has a lighter colored (taupe, natural, sage, maybe silverbelly) that they might be...- oble

I need some HAT help!!!!
Great suggestion! Thank you. I will look into them. That’s funny, I just weighed both hats and they are exactly the same weight. Not sure why I though the Stetson was heavier. Thank you for your honest insight on custom vs vintage. I do really like Stetson. Just want to be able to find... -

Thank you for the thoughtful answer. Ive always liked how fedoras look and enjoy wearing them but as I live in rural New England finding something that is not too much of a dress hat has been the challenge. I’ve been wearing this straw hat pretty comfortably now for a while and feel that it... -

I need some HAT help!!!!
So I’ve found the perfect hat that I feel comfortable wearing around town without feeling too self conscious about. The thing is it is a straw hat. The tag says “Sunbody”. Seems not too “western” and not too “dressy”. It might be nice to find one with a similar shape/size in fur felt that could... -

WTB Resistol Wide Country, Stratoliner, Open Road 6 7/8
Hey all, looking to see if anyone would be willing to part with something similar to an Open Road/Stratoliner style hat with a brim size between 2-2 1/2. The Resistol Wide Country fits the bill with a 2 1/4 brim. I have a 50s Open Road which I love but a narrower brim might look better seeings...- oble

Thanks all. Sounds like an open road or campdraft is the way to go. I have no interest in distressing just wearing it day to day. I really appreciate the insight. Makes a new guy here feel welcome. -

New user here. Can anyone help me identify the hat/ style of hat worn by Daniel Day Lewis in the film ‘The Ballad Of Jack and Rose’? I’ve admired it for a while. Thank you.
