Post New Hats Here!

What I especially like, about these classic traveller-hats, is these allround/allday-practicality.

-they are looking adventure-like and same way cool and tough, like Fedoras
-they are heavier made, more wind/weather-resistance (and often impragnated)
-they are also lightweight, because of the simple wool-felt
-they are crushable
-they normally got the wide enough brim for effective sunblocking

Perfect hat for german spring, summer and autumn.

Nope!

I made four purchases through Orvis, and every one was a disappointment. No more for me.

Rick as always very helpful. A big thanks for the review.
I hope you can return it.
To keep OT: a 2 dollar garage sale find

This came in a couple days ago. Got a real scare when USPS tracking indicated it was out for delivery but noted there was "visible damage." Needless to say I was there to meet the postman and when he handed me the ripped, paper covered box I was pretty anxious. The postman even shook his head. I could see the hat inside and was scared to finish opening it. The original box had crumbled during shipping and was pretty much dust. I was very surprised to find the hat in pristine condition. Kind of an OR clone with a 2" brim.

I decided I wanted another stingy brim and picked this up at the same time.

Nice hats,the Dunlap is exquisite.

Both are great hats Bama, but that Dunlap stingy Open Road style is the bomb!!!! I love that hat!

150th anniversary Stetson Pinnacle Pure Beaver Mink. Stiffer than the Caribou I got 6 months ago. Brim is turned up a bit more. Funny since a member mentioned that about the caribou. how it might look nicer upturned a bit more.
Great quality , firm block. very soft felt. Did not think I could buy a factory Stetson with the old quality but this definitely is well made.

How's the fit?

Size and Fit

How's the fit?

Fits fantastic. With a haircut it fits perfect with some space. Without it fits perfect but the hair fills it in a bit more. I got a 7 3/8. I can wear 7 1/4 but recently I find that 7 3/8 is just a better fit vintage wise.
Really good product for 325 Canadian

My first step down the road to vintage. I acquired this 1930s vintage Penn Craft recently.

Very nice.

It is called Mink. A few members have them. They are available all over the US. I got mine from the Hatter in Toronto. The price is relatively the same US Canadian. So if you bought one here you would save the exchange.

Thx. The Stetson Mink does vary quite a bit. Thats one of the nicer looking variations.

Thanks. Was not aware the color could vary that much. I also heard that the block stiffness is different between colors. The caribou is less stiff than the mink.
I love them both though. Have no intention of snapping down the brims either. Love the raw edge.
