Very fine, very light. Light as a butterfly's wing. The style just doesn't suit me.
Trade for a Monte fedora or a vintage Stetson vita-felt or a Knox "foxhound" (I have a gamebird & Rainbow), a VS thin ribbon, Stetson 100 or Stetson Nutria or....?
Or I will crassly accept $150 PayPal...
Quick BIN on a vevety plush looking Knox
Looks old to my eye as well. I imagine it to be a deeper, midnight blue as seen on the underbrim rather than the washed out overexposed blue on the over-all shots.

NNNnnnoooooo
->Insert Demeaning & uncomplimentary remarks regarding contemporary Stetsons here<-
Please- find an Akubra that suits you. Akubra are 10x the hat a modern Stetson is, IMO. And I think others would concur.
Just got this Stetson for Brooks Bros ordered.
Even at 50% off retail+ $10 I likely got screwed...I guess I'll know in seven to ten, but I thought I'd air my shame & solicit opinions anyway. I am afraid it will just be a gussied up Retro, a model I do not particularly care for. Clearly a...

I found a current vendor here, but there must be others. It's a great travel hat.

Goldurn,mudderhunchin',corksuckin' son of a biscuit eater!!!
Made so deranged, discouraged & heartsick by this loss, I have given the last three days over to weeping, gnashing of teeth & rending of garments! (I should throw sackcloth & ashes in there somewhere too, I suppose.)
I was at a...
To Reiterate
IMO both brands are highly desirable & collectable.
A & F (prior to be rebooted as kiddie city) and W & G outfitted Hemingway, Roosevelt, Earhart et al.

Lovely & rare Stetson Open Road STYLE (i.e.- no where identified as an "Open Road" -also note unbound brim!) in A+ shape w/ the original box (also in very good condition).
A SNUG size 7 1/4.
I got it, vainly hoping it to be running as a large(r) 7 1/4 -perhaps a hat that would easily stretch...
