    The Stetsonian Institution

    Visiting Seattle, I stopped by Byrnie Utz hoping to buy a Campdraft. Unfortunately, they didn't have one in my size. After searching the store for a while trying to find something for me, the clerk came up from a lower level cabinet with something. "How about Navy?" he asked. "Oh! it's a...

    What Would Your Vintage Hat Cost In Today's Currency

    My vintage 1960 Resistol came with a price tag of $20 = $160 today, but I doubt you could find anywhere near the quality 100% beaver hat today at that price. ($11 on ebay)

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I may be heading to the Puget Sound area in September and I need a new Winter hat. Other than the vintage shops in Port Townsend, Seattle, etc., are there any hat shops I should check out between Gig Harbor and PT?

    Well, you are already wearing an open collar. Would a nice Tory Richard or Reyn Spooner be far wrong?

    What to do about squeaking shoes

    Thanks. That makes sense. Now I will have to try to find that product on line or search for it on my next trip to the big city.

    What to do about squeaking shoes

    :confused: Old school stitched and nailed leather shoes sometimes develop a "Squeak". Is there a cure? My highly polished brown Corcorans get lots of compliments but the squeak when I walk is slightly embarrassing.

    Rain : rabbit fur vs beaver fur ?

    The reason I landed on this thread today is that I find myself living in a subarctic rain forest, the Tongass, and am trying to work out the best way to deal with the need to dress for wet weather almost all the time. My favorite hat (Really my ONLY good hat) is a vintage Open Road style...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    At least the Indiana Jones snarks seem to be less frequent. I traveled to New England this summer wearing a linen sport coat and fedora and did not get one negative comment. Quite the contrary, there were several compliments. I'm living in a small town on an island in SE Alaska now and people...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    They are called Jump Boots because they were issued to American paratroopers in WWII. I got my first pair in 1966 when I signed up for jump school in the US Army. I wore that style of boots in uniform until I got out of the Army in 1980. The issue boots in the sixties were black. You can...

    Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks in Action!

    This is the Thumbnail for a recent YT video by friends Chuck and Laura, currently exploring Southeast Alaska. The hat, I believe, is a Pendleton fedora. The cigar, knowing Chuck, is a Punch double corona.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I have long used this as my tagline on another forum: "The older I get, the less I care about what you think" I am out of doors a lot and rarely find myself in a car anymore so I always wear a cover, either a newsboy, a fedora or an open road. I also try to dress just one notch above what...
