    My pre OPS tag stratoliner has a side seam in the liner and my mid 50's is a back seam liner. After viewing numerous photos in FL, I've noticed the same arrangement. Wondering, is this just happenstance, or is there some consistency in other examples?

    Stetson Hemp Stratoliner

    Thanks, this one could cause me to miss straw season if I didn't have a vintage strat to pop into.

    I had this hat since April, and have treated it roughy on dusty construction sites. This is a sage that has faded to perfection in my opinion. I have washed it in soapy water several times and it is now wonderfully soft and has retained its shape. P.S. I have two backups, one sage, one navy...

    Very confusingly informative. Was the price the same nationwide? A coffee in East Hampton is not the same price as in East Paduka, wherever that is.

    Yes, the building's history is interesting. City owned for decades and used for fire department practice burnouts. Now a top notch bar restaurant I'll definitely check it on next Tucson trip.

    Hoping to get some help on dating this. Comparing it to one dated , by Moon (thank you), early to mid 50's, it has several differences. For one it is an unreeded sweat and the felt is much softer and lighter. Also the brim is 2 3/4", opposed to 2 1/2. Also wondering if the region in which it is...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    The reason for asking was, I found a bit of zoom will eliminate the wide angle effect when using my phone.

    Ya know, I never heard that term before being from above the line, but I like it. I actually thought it looked like my modern graphite, but a touch lighter. From now on I'll use your terminology. Thank you.

    Six months of sweating on a construction site, and then a bath, is responsible for making this sage hemp stratoliner better than new.

    Right you are. When I was looking for a new lid to replace my 30 year old wool cheapie, I was drawn to the strats. All of a sudden I have about 6 moderns, plus a dozen miscellaneous older things. But this vintage stratoliner is the last hat I'll need. (Yeah right)
