Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Josh, Great find on the ventilator! Below is a link to some poly cutting boards. These work great for leather punches. They are firm enough to make a clean cut but not firm enough to damage the punch. Maybe you could use a small piece of this or something similar to place inside the hat. You... -
The Resistol Roundup
That is a strange name for a Resistol hat. Post some pictures when you get it. -
The Resistol Roundup
Resistol like to name their hats after Texas cities (San Antonio, Waco, Pecos, etc.). I also have a Resistol Deming which I assume was named for Deming, New Mexico so maybe not just Texas cities. This hat could be named for Alamo, Texas or the Alamo itself. I agree with John though, the... -

Frank, I bet we were at some of the same shows. I went to school in Austin in the late 70's. My friends and I went to see him whenever he played. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B8jCe4c8bqE&feature=c4-feed-u -

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
My black Premier Strat states Royal De Luxe on the sweatband. The mink Strats look great! I can't wait to get mine. -

That is cool. A custom ordered Stetson. It would explain the sweatband with nothing but the owner's name. The box states "Elect Dept" for the style. Maybe "Elective Department"? -
So whats so horrible about the new Stetsons anyway?
I did the same thing and I agree. -

Very cool hat. I've never seen that liner either. Looks very old to me. I'm also interested in hearing what the experts have to say. -

Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
After posting my question I found this information in another thread on the Lounge. I need to "search before asking" :) "Stetson Hats and the John B. Stetson Company, 1865-1970" by Jeffrey B. Snyder, page 31: "Boss Raw Edge Kettle Finish This is a Stetson hand finishing technique. Hats made... -
Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
Beautiful hats and great comparison Alan! Ole, I had never thought about the stitching possibly being too close together but it certainly makes sense. I just always considered it a sign of better quality and more detailed craftsmanship. I noticed one of the hats has "Kettle Finish" on the... -

Congratulations Kilroy. I have always thought the Model 1873 Trapdoor is an elegant rifle. I'd love to find one in nice shape.- Landman

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
pfisto, congratulations on the new hat. It looks great! I agree with g.durand, it doesn't look like it is sitting too high. Maybe it just feels that way because the front brim is up. I get that feeling sometimes when I'm wearing a hat with the front brim up. I usually wear all my hats... -

John, I'd like to buy one of those aluminum awls but I can't find an email address for him on his blog. I think it has something to do with the fact I'm using an IPad and the pages are not loading correctly. Could you post his email address or send it to me by PM? Thanks. -
grammy hat??
I'm really surprised Fender would do that to their guitars. I can see somebody other than Fender doing it to one of their guitars but it really surprises me they would do it to their own equipment. -
grammy hat??
Zombie, I agree with you. I have several leather A-2 jackets and wouldn't think of intentionally distressing one of them. On the other hand, my oldest A-2 jacket that I bought new about 20 years ago is my favorite because it has become rumpled and well worn over time. Some of my favorite hats...
