Matt Deckard's Tumblr page now has photos of an open crown prototype Whippet. It must be Christmas for all of us open crown fans.
[bad] You are what's known as an "enabler".
Thank you so much!:hug:
I received my black Stratoliner from DelMonico yesterday. I'm very impressed with the hat. The felt is very soft and was easy to hand crease without the need of any steam. The liner and sweatband are very classy too. I did remove the plastic airplane pin and replaced it with a sterling silver reproduction pin. The hat looks and feels great!
I want to thank Matt Deckard and Stetson. I appreciate the effort to produce these and hope they are a big success...so I can get one in silverbelly too!
PS: Jeff, thanks for all your help!
Hi Landman, can you recommend a source for the sterling Strat pin?
Tom posted the link. He makes both a real TWA Stratoliner pin and the DC-3 TWA Stratoliner pin that Stetson incorrectly used for its original Stratoliner hats.
I couldn't take it anymore either and ordered a tawny Stetsonian from DelMonico last Friday, received yesterday, life is good.
Wow, that was fast.
That's what confused me, the 6 week waiting time. I have a Strat and a Stetsonian on order. Glad you are pleased, everyone else has been here, too.Lighting fast USPS priority mail to Los Angeles, the package got to the area since 12/16/2013 according to the tracking website. DelMonico ordering page quoted 6 weeks delivery. Anyways I'm very pleased with the hat, I find no flaws in the felt and it took a C bash with side dents dry with no signs of spider-webbing.
