Akubra Overload
Here's one that might suit your needs depending on what size you want. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Akubra-Squatter-Hat-Fedora-Size-57-US-7-1-8-80s-Very-Good/254450850062?hash=item3b3e73d90e:g:Ld8AAOSwai5d8W0i -
Stetson Roadster
It's funny because according to Delmonico hatter & JJ Hat center, they can't keep up with the demand for the modern Stetson's. It appears the general public likes them. -
Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!
For my personal preference, it all depends on my mood. The majority of the time, my hats are pretty close to where your preference is. But I'll also raise the hat up quite a bit on my forehead. Give that Stylemaster a bit of time on your head. It'll become more flexible and will sit... -
Stetson Roadster
The Stetson Roadster has the Royal Deluxe felt which is the same as what most folks love about the Stetson open road hats. The crown is 4 1/2" inches with a 2 1/2 inch brim. Personally, I wouldn't go much taller in the crown and this brim width is perfect for me. Anything bigger than that... -
The Conversion Corral
Thought I'd share my conversion of my Stetson Roadster from having a thin leather hatband to having a 1 inch ribbon hat band. Loving the new look of this hat. Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk -

Post New Hats Here!
It's not exactly new, because I've modified the hat since I originally posted it. Bought it for $75 from my neighbor. The original thin leather hatband just wasn't right for my personal taste. Here's my converted Stetson Roadster with a 1 inch ribbon hat band. I really like the look of... -
Stetson Roadster
After some thought, I decided to modify my Roadster a bit. 1 inch ribbon for the hatband. I really like this look now. Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk -
Akubra Campdraft
I'm fairly certain that the wire is piano wire / stainless steel. No worries about corrosion. I removed the wire from my first hat after it got sat on. The wire bent and I couldn't get the shape back to normal. It felt more comfortable to me after that, so I removed the wire from my other... -
Akubra Campdraft
I've removed the wire from all 3 of my Stylemaster hats. I've noticed a bit more flexibility in the hats in conforming to my head. -
Akubra Campdraft
If it's anything like the Stylemaster, the Reed is a metal wire. -

Akubra Overload
I'd like to get my Stylemaster's to have that deep swoop in the front without sacrificing my ability to also wear the hat with the brim up. -

HATTERS, CLEANERS, AND DYERS!!!!!
I remember this company & it's location!. Although, they changed their name to Central Cleaners by the 60's. -
Hat(s?) : exclusivity vs diversity
I'll regularly bounce between Fedora's or Flat Caps depending on my mood & the weather. So, there's no exclusivity associated with wearing my hats. I've got 3 Akubra Stylemaster's, a Stetson Chatham and a Roadster along with a few Bailey Litefelt Fedora's & probably a half dozen different... -

Akubra Overload
I've got a lot of love for the Fed / Adventurer hats. Everytime I visit Delmonico's hatter, I try one of their Adventurer's on. But they're just too much hat & brim for me. Without being able to try one on; I suspect that the Campdraft would have the same appearance on me. One of these days... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Yes, I play. My baby is a Froggy Bottom guitar model H-12. But lately I've been playing Nylon string guitars by Cordoba. Nylon strings are easier on my older fingers. Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk -

Western, anyone?
At the risk of stirring up more controversy. I have this Oak colored Stetson Roadster that I'm not sure if I like the leather hatband. I'm considering removing it and installing a 1 inch wide fabric hatband in a dark brown, maroon or maybe a color that matches the ribbon binding on the brim... -
Stetson Roadster
I just joined the Stetson Roadster group with my Walnut colored royal deluxe roadster. I'm not quite sure about the leather hatband. Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk
