    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    The Stratoliner pin I ordered from an antique store last week just arrived today. Here's a photo showing a Stratoliner pin (a representation of the Stratoliner plane, shown pinned through the ribbon) and the DC-3 pin (the one that came with Stetson Stratoliner hats, shown resting on the brim)...

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

    Check out the size tag link in my sig. There are old, American foil tags and the much longer lasting Canada foil tags. It's one of the several factors that makes dating the Canada made hats more difficult. Another sure-fire indication of a Canada hat is the Aquanized mark - an umbrella with...

    That hat is pretty level, but the brim is only half snapped to give it what's called a Hollywood brim. Cocking the hat to the side is having the sweat lower on one ear than the other. Look at photos of Sinatra. Much of the time, he's got his hat cocked (of course, he's also big on tilting his...

    Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were all the same - moving a lot of dirt and putting in a lot of plants at my parents' house. Here are some before, during, and after shots. There's still a bit of manicuring and mowing to be done, but the major work is complete.

    That hat has been spotted and discussed here. The answers are maybe yes way less than the $495 asking price btw, the box insert isn't original and, unless the one lounger who makes them is willing to make and sell more, you'll never find another.
