    Good point. IIRC, adjusted for inflation, the 100 cost in the neighborhood of $750 in today's dollar.

    Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread

    I actually like both creases in that hat, but the C crown does suit you well. And yes, the lightweight black cherry sure is awesome, isn't it?

    The ads I've seen for the 100 advertised it as coming with the case.

    Hat sizing revisited

    Hatsdirect.com also stocks the campdraft. In my experience, Akubras shrink, but not a full size. Although Akubra makes similar models for the US market, the Campdraft is exclusive to the Australian market, as it originated as the Open Road under license from Stetson.

    Stetson Open Road Straw?

    Here are some pictures of my Canadian made OR Panama. No idea what year this one is, it was an eBay score. One caveat: yes, the crown is bulgy at the bottom because this is a 6 7/8 that I stretched. I should have it properly reblocked (and one side of the ribbon needs to be retacked), but low...

    The "Little Joe Cartwright" hat?

    Mr. Dean and I had the same idea, I was just about to pop in to suggest Knudsen. Way cheaper than Baron's prices. Also, I would give Last Best West a look.

    Going Away Gift - A New Hat!!!

    That's a funky Biltmore, but I'd join the chorus of Imperial Stetson. As others have pointed out, you need only your hands to put in the crease.

    Recommendations for a waterproof straw fedora?

    Would not a Shangtung hat also withstand rain?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    David: I'm very jealous of your AB. A grey "train" hat like yours is on my 'bucket list' of hats before Mr. Delk retires. Perry: great OR! Tall crown on that one. Sam: It's been said before, but the ribbon treatment on your Max is just so good. AnA: Cavanagh sure made some nice lids back in...

    Javier: Sharp as usual, glad to see you back around these parts....although you're upstaging me and now I look like a slob comparatively! ;):D OG: Great combo, love the tall & straight crown on that Panama. G.Durand: I like that felt/ribbon combination on that Lee. ManofKent: that brim size...
