Stetson Stratoliner
Jumping 2 sizes is a little too much to expect for stretching an old hat. I'd see if you have interest here to re-sell & go back at the Bay with lessons learned. Always try to get a measure of inside circumference from a seller if you can. Next would be diameter down the middle & side to side of the opening & use an elipse calculator to get the circumference. Older hats tend to be a little smaller than the size tag.Roninjedi said:...Not sure whether I should just sell it off in the Lounge Classifieds or take it to a local shop and have it stretched up to 7 5/8 LO (the minimum I could wear).
Roninjedi said:Lining is coming loose but can anyone date this?
That is just wrong thinking...you have to land those big lids then recoup on the throw backs!!! The secret is to get a movement of hat boxes going in & out so "justification" is too hard to figure out what is expense & what is revenue!!!Roninjedi said:...having spent the money on the Royal Stetson, I don't think I can justify buying the Sovereign before the Royal is sold.
Roninjedi said:Yeah, thanks Dean and Billy! Looks like I just got way too eager and made a bad purchase as a result. Caveat emptor, I suppose! Well, maybe someone will want a nice looking vintage hat cheap. A few minutes ago I found a brown 7 3/4 Steston Sovereign on eBay but, having spent the money on the Royal Stetson, I don't think I can justify buying the Sovereign before the Royal is sold.

At my place it is SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed, pronounced SwimBoRoninjedi said:AHA! Creative accounting, then? Well, I've just posted the Royal in the Classifieds. I really do want that Sovereign, but I'm just concerned about the reaction from She Who Must Not Be Annoyed.
Although, now that I think about it, the couch is actually pretty comfortable...

1 3/4" brim, 5" crown.
Soft-soft-soft!
