Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

[hatophile]

I like it, too, but it inspired me to call Peters Bros. for one of their OR/Shady Oak style hemp milans.

Granted, I haven't seen either product, but there is just a sense that the Peters Bros. is a better deal, with better workmanship.

If you get one, let us know what you think.

I ordered the PB two days ago. I'll post it when I get it.

What is the estimated turnaround time on the Shady Oak?

What is the estimated turnaround time on the Shady Oak?

They told me to expect it around the end of April, so one month, more or less.

Boy I hate I didn't see the Open Crown Open Road deal , ... the Strat has a 2 1/2" brim , OR has a 2 3/4" brim . The factory creased Open Roads are too low for my noggin , I have to at the very least add cutter creases to the side dents , but the center crease is really too tight and low , too . I'm going to blow out the crown of mine and see what it measures , I can't believe the factory creased are 6" when Open Crowned (Nope 5"). The Campdrafts are like 5 1/2" crown , I think , and 2 3/4-2 7/8" brim , 73 cm ? I can't remember .The Brushman has a 3 1/4" brim , the crown isn't 6" , it's 5 1/2" or so , I think . I tried several creases . I like a center crease , but I needed a touch more height to get it right . I may call DelMonico's and see what the deal was , I would have loved to get my hands on a 6" open crown OR ! Drats ... . I keep looking at the Borsalino Alessandria , DelMonico has 2 3/4" brims , and Bencraft 2 1/2" ... or I may see what a custom can do , I really want beaver , but Stetson OR (the one I have **xxxx) has pretty nice felt , but Borsalino ... Butter ... . Like the Lee Van Cleef movie : For a Few Dollars More .

I need to mess with the OR anyway , that 7 3/8 is big for my 58.5 cm noggin , should have gone with 7 1/4 ... , but I didn't know . Not sure if Stetson sizes a little different from Resistol , but the Stetson cart I looked at today said 23" - 7 1/4 , that would be me . Congratulations on catching that deal ! SWEET HAT !

While strolling through Sundance Square Plaza, I came across some nice young ladies doing a hat photo shoot.

They are taking photos for an updated Stetson website - the hats they were posing around the Plaza were all Dobbs; straws and caps.

They posed for me too!

Ordered a hemp Shady Oaks this morning. It should be here in 3-4 weeks. I should have had one of you guys buy it on my behalf so I could have avoided state sales tax! Haha!

But did you pose for them? Were you wearing a Stetson?

 

[DJH]

No, Jim - when I told them I was wearing a Penman, the result was a puzzled look.

STETSONS EXCELLENT QUALITY 150th ANNIVERSARY "FORTUNE and GLORY"

I saw these promoted over eighteen months ago and had yet to see one for sale.
So I jumped on it when I saw it. I'm chuffed. [URL=http://s57.photobucket.com/user/Greghats/media/Greghats059/s-l500-1_zpsivzqk0qn.jpg.html] [/URL]

You broke out with the black cherry didn't you?
