    Sterling Stratoliner Pin...

    I love how it looks against the great colors of the VS (damn, that's a nice hat), but agree that it belongs with a Strat.

    Post New Hats Here!

    TRick, I don't know if you've had a positive experience with the hats from River Junction. I made one, non-hat, purchase from them, and I would never consider even looking at their site again. Here's the story.

    Stetson Stratoliner Pin Vintage & Original

    Don't go pinless. It makes us all look bad.

    Yep. He's been selling quite a few nice ones lately.

    Playboys on Parade!

    Thanks for that. :)

    Playboys on Parade!

    Factory error on the ribbon doesn't make sense to me, as that's an OR style binding. IIRC, Playboys all had either a single row of stitching around the brim (no binding), or had just the raw edge. Have you looked behind the sweat for any stamps? Buler found a few hats that had something like...

    Ancestor hat pics

    Wow! To be in a photo with Clara Bow and to have her eyeing your grandfather - he must have been one cool character. Thanks for sharing those.

    IS THIS "LEGHORN" STRAW?

    Here's the largest size that Google books would allow me to snag. (from 1939, Life - the rest of the hat story is here.)

    It's Spring. Show your Straw hats if you have 'em

    That's how I found it. We've got so little on leghorn around here that a little google was in order. I'll have to change my search parameters a bit. Almost everything that came up had to do with bonnets. I think a search of 1920 to 1960 with "leghorn", "hat", -poultry (it's quite a fowl problem)...

    It's Spring. Show your Straw hats if you have 'em

    This seemed as good a place as any. Life, May 15, 1939 here's the text: T The price on the panama is noted to go as high as $600, and the one shown is $100. Click the link to view how fine the hat looks for $100.

    The Official Stetson Nutria Quality Thread

    To me, the felt is worth it. It's so different from any of the rabbit or beaver felts - not better, but so rugged. It looks like a nice addition to your collection.

    Question on upoading photos

    You can also make a montage in photobucket using the edit function. The montage is then one image, which you can post here as you would a single photo. The same is true for increasing or decreasing the size of photos, or doing any sort of cropping, tinting, framing, etc. that you may like.

    Vintage Workwear

    Now, it's likely to go over $400, as you can get a licensed repro for that price. http://rivet-head.blogspot.com/2010/06/speedway-japan-browns-beach-jacket-vest.html http://vintageengineerboots.blogspot.com/2010/06/licensed-reproduction-browns-beach.html

    Ancestor hat pics

    Though it appears very subtle, Mr. W. looks to be projecting quite a bit of cool. I love the full and tall bowler he's sporting.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Very nice. There's so much color and texture there. It brought this ad to mind.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    People are often under the impression that I've got a stockpile like rlk. Nothing could be further from the truth. I've got three nice straws, one beater straw, and around 15 felts. Of those felts, I probably wear around 5 of them regularly, I could probably lose 5 them and never know they were...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    It's very nice, but it's not mine. I'm not buying anything unless it's an incredible deal or it's something I just can't live without. If it's not 30s or earlier (rare, as you know, in the bigger sizes), I'm barely paying attention.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Bowlerman - all things being equal as to felt, sweat, etc., I prefer the curl of the Stetson. I tried on this one, but without further info. or photos, I've got nothing. "Wears like iron" is far too frequently used in describing products to find anything. If you'd like to dig around a little...
