Like D.Handsome, I too bit the bullet and ordered
As stated earlier, like you, bit the bullet and ordered the 'Highman.' Made by Stetson for Miller Brothers Hats. Similar to an OR/Startoliner...
Hey Moon! Thanks so much! At a size 7 5/8 and under 60 bucks, I couldn't;t resist - especially after seeing yours as it is quite similar! I mean, it feels and looks as if it was barely worn! More 'coveted' than worn. I plan to do the same!
Stetson Standard Quality. circa late 40s (?). 2 1/8 brim. Incredible felt! Learning to use Postimages site to get full pictures. Nonetheless, clicking the links take you there!

New arrival! Stetson Standard Quality. Whew! This one kinda sorta fell into my lap...Steamed and orange brushed...Open crown about 5 1/2. Brim 2 1/8 (I have a feeling it was trimmed), 2 inch supple sweatband, and man oh man, that felt is shaped with no steam!
Was reading posts from a thread discussion on the differences between an R.M Williams and a basic Akubra Camp Draft. Well, if I recollect, one difference is that the R.M. Williams' brims are un-flanged. Can I wait to see? Nope!! :( But I have no choice! I was fortunate to find one that fits...
Recently arrived F.R.Tripler Homburg in a are size of 7 1/2... Outstanding felt hand. Inside foxing and other stuff. I love this piece!
Open crown...5 3/4
Bashed
Inside
Thanks for the info! The crown is much lower than expected. You got it! I think it would look much better when choice of clothing is more 'uptempo'. :)
