Hello gentlemen,
Consider this my introductory post, as I've found my way to this corner of the web on the desperate hunt for a deadstock '60s Stetson straw; one of those dead cool summer/weekender trilbys like the Acapulco, Coronado, Merion, Saratoga, Tritone, Americana, Sabena, Continental II, Turf, or Gun Club, etc. It may be evident that I really don't know very much about vintage men's hats, but as that saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words' goes, here are some pretty clear examples of what I'm looking for:
Ideally a straw Stetson for the coming warmer months. I'll be spending half of my summer vacation in Israel beneath the scorching Mediterranean sunshine and unbearable, unrelenting desert oven that is the Middle East. I would really like to find myself a '60s model Stetson straw to stay cool (literally and figuratively speaking!) and would request your help in doing so. For whatever reason, I only seem to come across the '30s and '40s stuff online and in auction sites. I would greatly appreciate any and all of your help in locating a vintage model Stetson straw similar to the above, and would be entirely indebted to anyone who might be able to assist me!
Thanks kindly,
Oliver
