    Age of Stetson Diamond Pattern Liner and White Paper Description Tag

    Thanks barrowjh. I guess I went through that thread too fast and missed those posts. I was thinking 1980's to 1990's. The type on the paper tag looked too "current" I thought for a 1970's hat. The one I have is nice but like you said, is nothing like the 1950's hats. It is a lot softer than the...

    The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}

    Could someone post a good picture of a new Caribou Stratoliner that they feel accurately represents the color? I've been looking at them online at different sites and the color of the pictures seemed to be all over the board. I really like the color of this one if it is accurate...

    Age of Stetson Diamond Pattern Liner and White Paper Description Tag

    Lefty, I looked through that thread but couldn't find what I was looking for. Maybe I just missed it. Below is a picture of the liner and tag I'm referring to. I snagged this picture off of Ebay so it is not of my hat.

    Age of Stetson Diamond Pattern Liner and White Paper Description Tag

    I can't seem to find a definitive answer to these questions on the forum. When did Stetson start using the diamond pattern liner? Also, when did Stetson start putting the white paper tags in their hats that has the size, style and model number on it? I don't have a picture handy to show you what...

    Akubra Overload

    Thanks for the welcome RBH. This is a great site and wish I had found it sooner. I was born and raised here in Texas and have always been a Stetson Open Road guy. However, after seeing all the beautiful pictures of the Akubra Campdraft on this forum I decided to give one a try. I've been...

    Thanks James. My best fitting hats are usually 7 3/8 LO or 7 1/2 so I went with a 60.

    Akubra Overload

    I'm located in Texas and was thinking about purchasing an Akubra Campdraft Deluxe from Hats Direct. I'm not use to buying a hat without trying it on first so I was wondering about the sizing. I'm usually in between sizes (7 3/8 to 7 1/2) depending on the hat so I was wondering what size some of...

    That's what I was thinking but I thought the $15.00 price tag might have made it later. Thanks for your help.

    Dating Vintage Stetsons by Liner: A Field Guide

    Stetson Open Road $15.00 Price Tag I recently purchased this older Stetson Open Road with a Last Drop Liner and a $15.00 price tag in it. The photos are not very good because I used a cell phone camera and don't do the hat justice. I was hoping somebody could help me date it. Thanks for your help.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Those are both beautiful. Is that second one a Stetson Open Road? I like the contrast of the dark ribbon and edge.

    STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH

    Thanks for your replies. I have read about spraying on a mixture of distilled water with denatured alcohol to loosen the stiffener but I thought this may be an easier way to loosen the felt over the entire hat. There are actually several different varieties of Naptha (lighter fluid, camp stove...

    STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH

    I was curious if you did this naptha bath to a new Stetson Open Road would it soften the felt? I prefer the softer felt of the old Stetsons and was trying to find a way to remove the stiffener put in the newer hats. Thanks for your help.
