The worst "good hat" that you own
My 2015 Royal Stetson Stratoliner would be that hat. It’s the only one of my “good” hats that I bought new, and it’s the worst of the lot. Brim is thin and curly and won’t hold any kind of shape. I like that term “wandering zero” to describe the fit. Sweatband is cheap, and I expect to wear... -
If it quacks like a duck...
Sorry about the blurry part. That tag is mighty small print for my eyes too, drinking or not. Here’s a better shot, but I don’t think it provides any more info. Legitimate Strat or not, I’m enjoying it. -
If it quacks like a duck...
Yes, I also found this under the sweatband. It supports the 1960s sale date (and manufacture date, most likely). I believe it may have been the original J E Wood Outfitters that closed in 1933 or so. No reorder tag, unless it’s under the liner, and I don’t want to detach the liner. Is... -

If it quacks like a duck...

Thanks, Joe. Some of your hats were inspiration for me to take the risk. I am also wondering if it was made by Champ. I know Berg was part of Hat Corporation of America. I’m going to work on dating it. Can’t find anything about the shop in VT.
