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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
Stetson Royal De Luxe
Here are some more sorry photos of another nice hat of mine. I was hoping to get you guys to put a date on this one too for me. Thanks for your help.
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.
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...
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.
