    Stetson Absinthe any word, sightings, rumors?

    Glad to have read that Fruno, I called JJ's when I ordered and asked the gal that I spoke with to try and see if they could send one of the "smaller" 1/4's as I've had a 7 1/4 Racine slide over my face and a 7 1/4 Grand Central fit just fine. Fingers crossed.

    Sweet! The frayed bow adds a little somethin', something.

    Dang. Now I'm really looking forward to getting home. I hope that the tracking is correct. Thanks! "it has that kind of felt that you could poke with a finger and the dent stays ... ya know what I mean ... it dents and keeps those beautiful wrinkle lumps ... I love that" I've been noticing...

    Post New Hats Here!

    I don't have a brown lid except for a short brimmed, telescope Champ which I rarely wear, so my "grail" was a dark brown Whippet, which I will likely never own. You had mentioned in another thread about the Stetsonian being the most "Whippet-like" of the current crop of Stetsons (I value your...

    Sing out when you know. I'll be looking for tips and pointers (and taking a look at Moon's again) as I'm expecting one this evening when I get home from work. Read about your "wait" and decided to pay a little extra to JJ Hatters, seeing as how they have the color I wanted in my size and in...

    Berets, Anyone?

    One of my recent acquisitions from Daan. A Boina Elósegui Exposición Año 1858, 30 cm. Top notch beret as are all of the berets I've gotten from SPB/Daan. I also purchased a Boina Exposición Super Lujo, 265mm that I like just as well. My first (quality) elastic headbanded berets. They get a bit...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Oh, my lifestyle isn't all that (but I like it). I live in a small to medium sized town, but it is in a very nice, pleasant part of the country. My friend is a farrier and I travel with him on some Sundays, just to get around and meet and talk with folks, and look at boats when the work is...

    Opinions: Best bash for Modern Stratoliner

    For the first time ever... I'm beginning to actually understand what's being said here. It's sort of a revelation for me.

    RJR, that hat is developing character. Bob, digg'in that feather. Out with my bud this morning, he had a couple of horses whose hooves needed trimming. The SB CD, is fast becoming my favorite.

    I like it just fine. The only problem I have with the modern Stetsons are those ribbon tack stitches. You'd think they could/would fix that.

    Vintage Whippets

    Hmm. That's news I can use. Thank you for that. Oddly, I had looked up your Stetsonian w/bash to check it out—just this morning. The color is right there. Great look'in lid.

    Vintage Whippets

    One of Stetson's sites has the Premier Whippet in graphite and sage. http://www.stetson.com/hats/premier-whippet-in-graphite I really want one in mink or a dark brown. 7 1/4 anyone? I have their regular Whippet in caribou and like it just fine, but the Premier versions (aside from felt quality)...

    As others have said—heck of a great day for fedoras! Everybody is looking famous. Should have plopped a CD on my head, but instead went with the Grand Central. Soaked it. If I thought it was soft before, well, it's super soft now.

    What is this hat?

    A '60's era Sears ad photo. Tweed? I'd wager you could find something close. Straws and Milans are more likely.

    What is this hat?

    A "bucket hat." I've also heard them called golf hats. I wear mine either brim up or (mostly) brim down. Actually, you can do whatever you want with the brim. Nice, crisp, crown with an edge on top—the way I like 'em. Hard to find one like that these days. The asking price isn't too bad. Looks...

    Miami, you wear a fedora like you were born with it on. A natural.
