Alex,
Your "before crease" and "after crease" pictures are a perfect example of how the Akubra's snug up after bashing one. The first Campdraft I bought I almost sent it back open crown for being too big but after getting some advice from the Lounge I kept it and put a crease in it. The hat...
Great looking hats guys!
Andy, I wore my black cherry VS out to dinner last night and received 4 compliments from people I did not know. I think I get more compliments on it than any of my other hats. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it to post but it has an Open Road style black ribbon...
EmreYOrphan,
Welcome. There is no way to tell the manufacturer from that picture but that hat looks a lot like the new Stetson Runabout discussed in post #196 of the thread below. Since the Runabout is very new I doubt that is what it is but the Runabout could be a good substitute for the one...
Neat hat. I used to have a Bailey straw I bought in the late 1970's. It had the same red tip sticker. I can't remember what the sweatband looked like though. That's not much info but maybe it will help you with dating the hat.
carranty,
I'm in the exact same boat as you. I have worn hats for years but have never had a factory hat that fit well initially. Even after steaming I would have to suffer through wearing an uncomfortable hat until it would eventually conform to my head shape. When I received my first hat...
Beautiful place Charlie! Great fire pit. I can have a drink and stare at the flames of an outdoor fire pit all night long. There is something hypnotic about it.
The Runabout is a neat looking hat. However, I have trouble seeing how a factory crease like that could be foldable. I hope it works for Stetson though.
I would say that is a perfect example of the Peter Principle.
I just wish they had not made him out to be a gullible fool. I remember in a previous episode he pulled a gun and saved Nucky's life. I remember thinking then that was a side of him I didn't expect, that he was tougher than he...
I love both those old stamps. Especially the unique font on the Stetsonian. I know that nobody can see them when you are wearing the hat but the stampings on a sweatband are a big deal to me.
Jeff,
Could you post some pictures of the Stratoliner sweatband? In one of your pictures I could partially see the "Stratoliner" marking but just wanted to see the whole typeface. I'm going to buy one but I'm on the fence over whether to get a Strat or Stetsonian.
Thanks for taking the time to...
The Campdraft is a great hat. Try these threads for more information.
