Stetson Stratoliner Milan {modern}

[The Wiser Hatter]

I had mine reflanged at FedoraFest last month.
Mike with buckaroo hatters knows what flange to use
He did mine and Rustys.
On another note on this hat. I checked last week
at my local Dillards that carried this hat back at the beginning of may they had all of the sizes of the strat.
on the shelf. Last week only a size 7 was left.

Just got in a new milan stratoliner , has any one figured out how to reduce some of the curl in the brim?

Iron it with a steam iron & a hankerchief between the iron & the brim...covered earlier in this thread if I am not mistaken.....

Thanks gtdean I might give this a try.

As I posted in another thread I had Rocky at Buckaroo Hatters reblock my milan Stratoliner.

Here is an above crown shot of my reblocked hat with my other that has the original block.

The reblocked hat has a whole other look while on. There is plenty of crown to work with.
Needless to say the white one will be reblocked before summer!

With the temps nears 70s, I hope to get an outside photo soon.

Here are a couple outside photos of the reblocked hat on.

Anyone interested--I've got a size 7 that I don't wear. I picked up a custom Optimo last summer.

Very Nice crown profile on that one, Rusty!

Very Nice crown profile on that one, Rusty!

Yeah, I like the fuller crown too.

 

[jbucklin]

I want Rocky to do that to mine! [|:-/

Thanks Josh... I believe you will have great luck on your new project.

 

[RBH]

Thank you! I wore it today and love the new reblock.

I want Rocky to do that to mine! [|:-/

He can do it... if they have the block!!! Mike has a lot of blocks in the style I call a 'teardrop diamond'.
This one in the milan did not leave as much diamond in it as it does in the felt. But it makes a great treadrop crease in this straw.

Maybe give this guy a bump as well with summer coming.

 

[RBH]

Thanks Duper for bringing this one back.
Here is a shot today of me in my reblocked milan Stratoliner.

I got a new one for summer and was at Buckaroo Hatters yesterday.
Here is a shot of the before and one after Rocky reblocked it. He also reflanged the brim a little flatter.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Been considering one of these for summer. Maybe I'll buy one.

The reblock looks great!
