FS or FT: Vintage 3X Stetson Open Road Size 7 3/8
Below are photos of a Stetson 3X Open Road that is too small for me so I'm looking to trade it for a similar hat in size 7 1/2 or I will sell it for $250.00. The sale price includes shipping anywhere in the US. If somebody outside of the US wants it we will have to discuss the shipping costs...- Landman

Beautiful hat Scott. What is stamped on the sweatband? I can't read it on my monitor.- Landman

Panama Hat Thread
Welcome hartfell. I agree with everybody else, the wide brim looks great on you. -

John, I believe that cutter is just for cutting the ends of a sweatband to a specific size. -

Western, anyone?
It could have been. Here are a couple more of Truman's hats. Looks like he quickly cattlemaned these too or at least he attempted to on the Panama. -

Here is a unique crease I have never seen before on a western. Pretty cool I think. -

Lounge member "bond" sells some very nice sweatbands too. They are thicker than a vintage but very soft and wide. The one I bought is 2" wide. Below is a link to the one I bought from him. He cut it to my size and sewed it together before he sent it to me. He did a great job on it. Thanks again... -

Art does have some very nice, new production sweatbands. I'm not sure what they are made from but they are 1 3/4" wide and very soft. As close to a vintage sweatband as I have seen. -

GD, that Silvermist is beautiful! I need to get Art's felt samples out and take a closer look at it. How does it compare to his Silverbelly? Roger, great looking Stratoliner! -

Show us your Guns!
After my last post I decided to look up the serial number of the Jackson Armory Colt in one of my Colt books. It shows the date of manufacture to be 1933. I find that strange because at that time the Colts should be manufactured in Argentina. Maybe it was a replacement receiver.- Landman

Show us your Guns!
Mike, That Jackson Armory pistol is not a Sistema but is one of the Colts made in the US for Argentina. I should not have suggested it was a Sistema. I guess the proper name would be a US made Argentine Colt. I hope I didn't mislead you but I tend to lump the two together which I shouldn't...- Landman

Brian, as John stated, any of the reputable hatters here on the Lounge will be able to properly install a sweatband for you. John recently installed a sweatband for me and did an excellent job. Here is a link to some pictures of my hat with the new sweatband installed. You can see in the... -
Beaver X Question
In my opinion, the specific price per "X" theory depends too much on the time period and is not a valid theory to apply over a wide range of time. For example, I have a mid to late 1950's 3X Stetson Open Road with the original Stetson factory price tag of $15.00. That would be a rate of $5... -
Nutria report
John, the absence or presence of barb like structures on each individual strand makes sense to me. I can see where that would make a huge difference in felting. Thanks.
