Black and Mink Stratoliners
My black and mink Premiere Stetson Stratoliners with sterling silver reproduction hat pins. I bought these from Jeff at Delmonico and I couldn't ask for better customer service. Thanks Jeff!
I'm in between a 7 3/8 and a 7 1/2. I'm also a long oval so I usually buy a 7 1/2. It would be nice to see more long oval choices. I wonder if the head shape has changed with the head size? There seems to be a lot of people looking for long ovals today.

LBJ Resistol
I have posted this in the "Hats with History" thread but thought it should be here too. This is a Wide Country 3X Beaver made by Resistol for President Lyndon B. Johnson. Harry Rolnick of Resistol Hats was a friend and supporter of LBJ. Resistol made these hats in different sizes...
In that interview he says he doesn't know his hat size. That really surprises me. Maybe all his hats are custom made and he has never had to try on a standard size hat.
LBJ Resistol
I've had this one for awhile but forgot to post it here. This is a Wide Country 3X Beaver made by Resistol for President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Chepstow has a similar hat given to a German politician. I believe his sweatband is a little different but I'm not certain because his...
