YES, I was looking CLOSELY at that hat.....then saw it WAS absolutely a 7 1/4.:eek::rolleyes: I wonder if it got miss-tagged. It does happen, even "back in the day".:rolleyes:
Yes, an quite frankly, an awesome hat. Now I would simply love to find one in my size.....even just a standard stock version......I will be keeping my eye out for that unicorn!!;)

That is REALLY interesting I have that VERY SAME AD, However in the corner mine features the Whippet.....not a Strat.......very interesting. My ad is posted here:https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/the-stetson-way-advertising-and-ephemera-of-the-golden-era.92141/page-11
I actually ran into more verified information on this hat!!!! It is in fact a Stetson ARMINTO that was branded by the SHOP for the American Royal rather than being it's own custom order. The owner of this said his grandfather bought it in the early 60's....Has store label and everything!

I agree with Brent. I love mine (for the most part) and have 4 or five. I DO have one early one (a mink) made in 2014 that is a little too thick, a problem with many of the early open crown introductions (including the early Stetsonians), and it is indeed a bit of a problem to crease AND the...
Hey....it DOES come with the original box!!!!:rolleyes:
And it would only be 3 or four tooth surgeries....it really sounds up your ally....;) it would look simply great displayed it it's own wall inset display.....of course you would need that extra security alarm just for this hat AND it's...
I have never heard of "Panapore" either......BUT.....like you...IF it was my size...for $35 including shipping I certainly would give it a try!!! I actually like the look of it a lot!!
Greg,
This wonderful "American Royal" has me intrigued...People are seeing others but the ones shown look different from one another (and NOT as nice as yours), not the same like the Auctioneer Association hats (which are all OR clones). I wonder if perhaps rather than special order a person...
Usually a stamp on the front of the sweat is the model......could be for the show as you say...however there IS a shop stamp from a Men's store on the side of the sweat.....usually society special orders indicate the society itself and not a specific store??
It is all really interesting.......
I see the sweat says "American Royal" at the front.....would be interesting to see the blocking tags on that one.....perhaps special commission for the men's shop??
That is awesome!!!! Great hat!! LOVE the liner!!!
Now I need to find me a LEO Borsalino!!!:rolleyes:;)
Is that a 6 1/2 punti? If so then that is EXACTLY what I need to find!!!;)

And then from a land far away (Germany).......from our freind here on the lounge (Telemaster) there arrives a hat.....a Wormser. His bad luck (hat was too big) turns into my good luck (as Goldilocks said: "the hat was just right")!

PS I will be posting more about it in the OR clone...
