The STETSON WAY, Advertising and ephemera of the Golden Era
Yes..it is a large stamp....measures 1 1/2 x 2 inches. I assume yours is the same? Stamp Collectors call the large stamps "poster stamps" or "stamp posters". I have some German ones that are even bigger. They are posted around here somewhere.....probably in the German thread.:) -

“Vegan” felt?
Yes, but they are dense and have a rough surface, therefore will adhere to one another.... They are not spun smooth fibers. EDIT: I wanted to differentiate the protein chains. Silk is an insect (worm & spider) product with quite similar composition and durability to the milk protein... -
“Vegan” felt?
In order to felt something you have to have a rough texture to the "threads" as is the case with fur and wool. Spun filaments like polyester and the various compositions of rayon are smooth spun fibers (like silK). Somehow they would need to rough the filaments or add wool or fur to make it... -

YES, yes....do not let the facts get in the way.........you saw my post as it stands and you know it! Time stamps do not lie and cannot be altered by the user (and probably not by the bartenders either). Yes, just stomp your boots and walk away......If I were you, I would block my user content... -
Thoroughbred Hats?
There are many a "hat company" that do not make but just wholesale/resale hats....even back in the day. There are private label hats made for such companies as well, "their hat" in that is is made for them exclusively and not sold by others. AND there are/were even hat manufacturers who... -

Considering a Stetson Open Road, what pairs well with it?
Truman owned a men's furnishings store after WW1......... He worked as a banker in 1905, when his father (a farmer) asked him to leave his $100 a month job to help him on the farm. He left the farm when called to active duty in 1917 for WW1 never to return (Father had died in 1914). GREAT... -
