    How NOT to look like Indiana Jones?!

    I wear a very western looking, cattleman/alpine creased, silverbelly Open Road & whenever I sport a leather jacket, regardless of style, even a cafe racer motorcycle jacket, I get "where's your whip?" comments. Brimmed hat + leather jacket = Indiana Jones remarks. YRMV

    Akubra Campdraft Question

    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    They are decent dimensions both open crown height & brim width. Like the brim flange. Other parts are typical HatCo production = sloppy ribbon attachment, spotty felt consistency, iffy brim binding stitching... Airplane pin is complete joke. All in all, I don't see it justifying the suggested...

    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    Strats did come in other grades. I have a vintage Royal Deluxe Stratoliner. I know Black Jack (John Walls) had a Stratoliner block & flange but he isn't doing hats anymore. D bar J Hats, http://www.dbarjhat.com/ , may have same block & flange or access to Black Jack's.

    Across the street from Langston's in Stockyard City is a shop that has some fedoras. Can't recall the name but the sell Wahoo vests, Filson stuff, packer boots, etc. I think it is Little Joe's Boots. Shorty's Caboy Hattery on Agnew has some custom Open Road styles too. HTH
