    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Jack posted his in the Heather and Yon thread the other day and I thought to myself "ooh, that's a nice hat.....wait, I have one of those too!" BSHW charcoal grey heathered felt, scorch finish, Berkeley Marina.

    Indy hat post em up

    The only Indy hat I want now is a one of the new Herbert Johnson reissues. There are still some skeptics, but I look at that hat and I see the hat. I want one even though the Raiders hat isn't my favorite Indy lid and even though I really don't need any more brown hats.....

    The STETSON WAY, Advertising and ephemera of the Golden Era

    Pardon the screencap, but it was quick and easy...1915 according to the seller listing this ad. The leather band on this iteration of the Austral is very close to the one on mine (except for the California specific motifs).

    Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns

    Yup, this style tops my grail list too! Great example, Jack. The embossments still look real good!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Well, kinda cheating, this is not today's pic, but I did wear the same shirt and hat today. Posting because my choice was also a 3x Last Drop OR

    Ask a question, get an answer

    There are lots of fabric sellers on Etsy who will sell you a yard for decently cheap. Personally, I was looking at Japanese textiles (lots of cool kimono fabrics), but you can find all sorts of brocade fabrics as well.

    Well, it's the leather sweatband that's the issue.

    Musician's hats

    Speaking of Bo Diddley, here's one from when The Clash brought him on tour and taught all the punk rockers some music history.

    STETSON Royal Deluxe Fedora Western Neutral Beige 1950 size 7 3/8 W/Box

    Like I said, more power to him! we live in a world where some folks will pay more than 1k for a lower quality Fouquet lid and Optimo sells enough $750 hats that they now have a factory. Somebody out there would be willing to spend that for a vintage Stetson.

    The STETSON WAY, Advertising and ephemera of the Golden Era

    From Clutch magazine in Japan. I have the rest of the spread focusing on the Stetson Japan offerings, but that's kinda outside the scope of this Golden Era thread....

    Was browsing the Hatwrks Nashville instagram....they made this hat for Peter Keys, the keyboard player for the modern Skynyrd lineup. https://www.instagram.com/p/BXO1rTwALNK/

    STETSON Royal Deluxe Fedora Western Neutral Beige 1950 size 7 3/8 W/Box

    Meh. Absolutely, I will cop to my ignorance on the Soverign Twenty. That's why I didn't offer a specific dollar figure for the hat. So, no, I did not evaluate something I knew nothing about it. Perhaps that was not grammatically clear. I will endeavour to be more precise in the future so as to...

    Western, anyone?

    It's very well possible he did and his kids are still sitting on a closet full of hats. Only a small selection was auctioned off, and those included some hats that had no clear manufacturer marks. In fairness to Baron, I have seen it said that they made hats for Wayne in places like the LA...

    Western, anyone?

    Past iterations of Baron's site have claimed an association (e.g. "shaped with one of Wayne's original blocks"). But Baron also claims a lot of things that can't always be substantiated (like their supposed connection to Indiana Jones). At least one of the Rooster Cogburn hats from the film of...

    Musician's hats

    A post Clash Joe Strummer circa 1997...probably an Open Road because he had a penchant for western ephemera.
