Borsalino Question for the experts
Yes, I know vintage Borsalino's are spectacular, and no, I have nothing against vintage hats--I have several. I like new hats too, however, and need this hat for an upcoming event. Thanks for your answer, I appreciate it. -
Borsalino Question for the experts
Hello Hat Friends: I have an absolutely soft, lovely Borsalino I purchased in Rome a few years back. I suppose it's open crown, it's like butter. I'm afraid I don't know the model, doesn't say on the inside. Delmonico's is having a good sale, and I have my eye on a light gray Como (wish I... -
Berets, Anyone?

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Seeing all of your vintage hats is so wonderful. It makes me self conscious about posting my in comparison run of the mill, new, store bought hats! Maybe I should start a thread called, "WHAT HAT ARE YOU WEARING THAT"S BRAND NEW" , haha. -
Resistol LBJ & Resistol Lyndon B. Hats
I see. It looks as thought the modern Stetson OR are much closer to the San Antonio, if not the same in measurement. Here's a vintage example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-1950s-RESISTOL-SAN-ANTONIO-SELF-CONFORMING-WESTERN-HAT-15-/264396375674 I wish we could still buy the 2_14 Resisitol... -

Resistol LBJ & Resistol Lyndon B. Hats
Thanks! It is one of my favorite hat styles, and as student of his presidency, even though I have other ORs there's a certain fun to this. Especially the alternate branding and stamped hat band. There's an ebay listing now with a hat supposedly from the stash LBJ would give to guests. It's an... -
Resistol LBJ & Resistol Lyndon B. Hats
I think this is a fascinating thread and hope it stays alive. Is the modern HATCO Resistol OR sold anywhere except the LBJ Library? -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Hey ET, do you find the Akubra's run true to size? For my climate in Portland it sounds like the perfect hat. I am between sizes so usually tape a 7_18 Stratoliner or similar hat and it fits great. What's your experience on sizing with these? Thanks! [ -

M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Thanks for clarifying, but we are actually on the same page. I prefer hats without the factory creasing, although of course I've bought them that way. I like shaping the hat myself too. Nice to know the Gannons can arrive open and we can have that fun. -

Stetson Sovereign. Needs more steaming, brushing and shaping. Not sure of the vintage on this, something I grabbed while thrifting pre-pandemic. -

Stetson Stratoliner Premier Open Crown
Well, I know a few years back a fellow had trouble with a Strat being too stiff. I just bought the open crown from Delmonico's. It arrived in great shape, it steams nicely and is good and soft. I'm not much experienced in shaping yet, but I love it enough to order a few other colors. Soft and... -

What hat are you waiting for today?
God, I love these open crowned Stratoliners! Not exactly an exotic hat, but having fun steaming in and playing with creases. This one from Delmonico's, the first of an orgy of new hats I've ordered this last month. -

Great looking hat. My knowledge of Stetsons is limited, but it has a Stratoliner vibe to it. Do you know the model? -
