Here is a picture of my Stefeno panama with the original ribbon.
And here it is with the new silk hat band I picked up yesterday:
What a diffrence huh? When I showed it to the lovely Tenuki, she thought it was a brand new hat.
tonyb said:I don't know that I'd change that hat at all, Rob. I dig it for what it is. It looks like a uniform hat of some sort (that's Stratton's strong market segment), that was made to be worn while doing something a bit more physically active than sitting at a desk, hence the ventilation grommets and the stampede string (or whatever you wanna call that strap).
Nice color, too. It would look just right with blue jeans and boots.

The stylish black Marathon came out of its box in perfect, unworn condition and surprised me with its quality. It's a beaver blend and has that lovely beaver finish to it. The ribbon is medium width and the bow treatment (if you can call it that) is stylishly minimalist. This is a top quality hat (though its tag under the sweat prices it at a measly $7.95).
It is definitely a state police hat and the strap goes around the back of the head. The brim is up to keep maximum visibility for safety reasons while working.RobFedoraField said:I believe it was a state trooper hat, but not sure what state. I think I just need to tip the front down a little, just doesn't look quite right to me
and I apologize for showing this to anyone who hasn't had their morning coffee yet lol lol lol
Mr. Paladin said:Very nice sir; I think it may well be one on your best hats. :eusa_clap

Felt: Camel
Binding: 9 ligne Khaki
Ribbon: 16 ligne Brown with neat camel colored ring.
Based on the Sportaire with 5 3/4" Crown and 2 5/8" brim
Its a split between a 7 3/8 and 7 1/2. I'm so used to hats that are a bit large and then padded in the headband that it felt "strange" at first to wear a hat that actually fit like it was supposed to fit. My Hat's On to Art!
Soft as butter it is. Now to save up money for another!
