Daniele, thank you for that summary! Very informative. -
How do folks react to your hat wearing?
My mother called me out on the indy thing once. Though to her credit. I was wearing my Christy's Adventurer. "Oh, you're here....as Indiana Jones." -

The Stratoliner Association {Premiere}
They're a brick and mortar store in my hometown. Deal mostly in volume of lower priced hats (theyre by UC Berkeley). Haven't dealt with them online but have bought stuff there when I'm in town. -

Caught Tombstone on the history channel while drinking my morning coffee, which inspired the choice of the black premiere Strat. -
The Stratoliner Association {Premiere}
Hatco/Stetson currently offers three felt versions of the Stratoliner. Yours should have a leather sweat, but it won't be the sheepskin sweat found in the premiere and excellent quality hats. The strat with the blocked in crease comes in Royal quality felt. The premiere comes in Royal Deluxe... -
Penman vs Black Sheep
Keep in mind that Bob has done a lot of hats that don't appear as models on his website. He just posted this one to facebook the other day, for example: -
Penman vs Black Sheep
Flip a coin. Both are skilled craftsman. Gun to my head? Bob at Blacksheep. His aesthetic is more appealing to my eye. I feel his hats reflect a combination of vintage and modern. He's done two custom hats for me and refurbished two others. I'm wearing a Stetson Homburg I just recently... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I like the green/crimson combo! Green is one color that's not in my hat palette and I'm trying to figure out if I could wear it or not.... -
trouble finding 6 3/4 with the color and right price.
The reason to stay away from wool? Well, let me put it another way, there's a reason most of the surviving vintage hats are fur felt and not wool. Aside from the bias here towards vintage hats in general, wool felt is simply less durable than fur felt. If we are comparing a modern made wool... -
Can't find this hat- weird one
Dogman and Joao is on the right track. A Boss of the Plains is probably the closest you'll get to a real world version. Hatco/Stetson's current incarnation is the Austral, made from buffalo fur, but more authentic fur felt versions exist from custom makers (Knudsen, Buckaroo, et al) -
trouble finding 6 3/4 with the color and right price.
If youre looking for a new, off the rack hat, I assure you there is a substantial difference in quality between your $20 hat and my custom fedoras. The members here generally advise to stay away from wool, for good reason. Vintage hats should be relatively easy to find for a decent price... -

Mine were generous in sizing, especially compared to the size my Fed IV ultimately shrank down to. -
2015 Stetson Excellent Quality GREEN THIN RIBBON (Preview & Review)
Not according to the fall catalog. Although it doesn't show sage either, yet here we are. Jeff mentioned there were some printing errors, but no silverbelly so far. The catalog does show a premiere in silverbelly however. Consolation prize? -

50's is a safe assumption. That's an awesome score! -
Ask a question, get an answer
Shangtung "straws" have their place as beater hats. Especially in an environment where it might get wet. To be sure, natural straws are nicer materials and finer hats, but IMHO there's definitely a place for those shangung hats.
