Western, anyone?
So, I have a minor obsession with the Calvary hat, specifically as it appeared in Rio Bravo. Based on messing around with my nutria Boss Raw Edge, I'm quite convinced that hat was at least 7" open crown (to get that deep diamond crown that pops back up in the center). Likewise looking at my... -
Best time to buy a Panama?
You already missed JJ's Stetson straw sale. Christy's is currently running a sale. My suggestion is to get on some email lists and bookmark sites to check. I'm waiting for a Worth and Worth sale myself. -
Open Road homburg
AFAIK this style is referred to as a Hemphill Open Road. Miller used to offer a model, but since their disappearance and reappearance I don't think it's back. -
STETSON Royal Deluxe Fedora Western Neutral Beige 1950 size 7 3/8 W/Box
Getting kinda Facebook-y in here. Yes, I mentioned timothiescloset because it didn't seem unreasonable to me that somebody selling their hat on eBay might start by looking at the prices of other hats on ebay. And since his paid listings show up all over my search results, it didn't seem like a...- jlee562

STETSON Royal Deluxe Fedora Western Neutral Beige 1950 size 7 3/8 W/Box
There is definitely a market there. Lots of vintage denim ends up there too. Consider the Stetson Japan beaver whippet...retail price is over $700 usd. Premier Strats are over 500.- jlee562

STETSON Royal Deluxe Fedora Western Neutral Beige 1950 size 7 3/8 W/Box
I mean, I've seen a larger Stetson 100 with full travel case AND inserts sell for less than $500. This is a nice hat, but it's not that nice. Could you find the right buyer at $500? Heck, maybe. Do you offer international shipping to Japan? :D I just know Timothieshats sit there for a while...- jlee562

How to travel with hats
Well, if you want to use this as your "small personal item," this style of case is quite useful. https://www.amazon.com/Shoe-Box-Travel-Fedora-Similar/dp/B00GI0WT4Q Bencraft also sells them, but not online. -
The Open Road Guild
Well, mine is a diamond but, same difference. it's just a hair under 4 1/4" and works for me. -
STETSON Royal Deluxe Fedora Western Neutral Beige 1950 size 7 3/8 W/Box
I mean, if you can get $500 for that hat, more power to you. If you derived that number from looking at timothiescloset, I would suggest that is rather high. it's a bit odd that it has a Twenty liner and a Sovereign sweatband. I am not sure those two felt grades are equivalent.- jlee562

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Should you ever feel compelled to visit the SF bay area, I highly recommend coming during September through the early part of October. It's one of the few times of the year we can break out the straws. Panama OR for today... -

The Open Road Guild
Short answer: no. Long answer: sure, if you sat there all day flipping the brim up and down, you could wear a weak spot into the felt. And over time, the brim will lose the flange. In the big scheme of things, if you flip it down one week and go back the next, you're not really doing anything... -
Ask a question, get an answer
We recently had a very stiff silverbelly premier Strat posted to the board, which also had a discolored spot. That one was sent back. Other than that, not a lot of recent news/reviews of them. The occasional clunker seems to be der riguer for modern manufacturers whether in the US or Australia... -

1) Open crown = premiere 2) mid/light tan 3) No, my premiere Stratoliner actually runs a smidgen larger than my other Hatco size 7's. The leather is high quality and shrinkage should not be an issue. -

The Wanderer was a bound edge model with a playboy width ribon (also, wider brim) but most model names are lost to history unless there is other documentation in or with the hat. -
Looking for help identifying the year made of a fedora
I see a nice black Knox. I second Justin's suggestion to pay The Hatted Professor a visit, he is the wizard of all things Knox. -

Seems like Resistol's "The Fort" model from the John Wayne collection would get you 90% of the way: https://www.hatcountry.com/resistol-john-wayne-the-fort-10x-fur-cowboy-hat.html?fee=10&fep=72804&gclid=CjwKCAjw2rjcBRBuEiwAheKeLxkTT8blFWsqcPiqaEazcW414oCRBscUZdzObgYdszkjluc_DUMR_xoCbWgQAvD_BwE... -
Pre- 1940s Stetson dress hats.
Dang Justin, when I saw that one, I exclaimed aloud in language I probably shouldn't repeat on the lounge! ;) Just a stunning representation of those early styles.
