    The Open Road Guild

    GT--Delmonico has them, but, the smallest they have is 71/8...too big for my size 7 head. I'm open to suggestion regarding other stores..

    The Open Road Guild

    I know its not an OR, but, I went into Paris Hatters yesterday and saw the Roadmaster...gorgeous hat, but, wrong size! 100% natural beaver. If my head was bigger, it would have been mine!

    FS; Vanson Mercury and Comet PLU-3

    Bump--so i can find this easier! Seriously considering the PLU-3. I wear a 43 suit coat--how true to size is this jacket?

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    yep--I'm going with "it depends on the hat!" Generally, center dent, C crown/teardrop, cattleman and telescope. I also like the Gus on other people's hats--not mine. I also like the diamond, but, I always seem to re-shape the diamond into a teardrop.

    I had the same problem with the pictures on my phone; cleared up when I used the computer. The pictures at the top of the article are in order...for what its worth.

    Chino?

    I do believe chinos are a heavy duty khaki pants. I love Bill's Khakis here in the States...can't begin to help in France.

    movie hats that inspired you...

    Viggo Mortensen's character in Appaloosa including the hat were the inspiration for my cowboy action shooting persona, Lonesome Doug.

    Best Straw hat maker for Western/ Cowboy styles?

    Palm leaf can be corse or fine. Generally, palm leaf hats are pretty thick. My real straw, Ecuadorean palm is pretty thin and would have made a great dress straw hat. Prices vary depending on how symmetrical (probably not the right word), tight and fine the weave is. I think Panama Bob's...

    Best Straw hat maker for Western/ Cowboy styles?

    What kind of straw are you looking for? I have a nice Stetson 100x shantung, an Atwood palm, and a couple Sunbody palm. But, the only custom straw western I have was shaped by Texas Hatters in Lulling, Texas. The body is a hand woven Ecuadorean palm David had sitting around. The sweat band...

    Stetson Shasta 10x

    Picked up another Shasta in brown--more of a modern style (brick crown and a squared off taco brim). Also had a ribbon replace the felt band. Gotta tell you, the Shasta is not a bad hat. I'll try to get pictures of both the old and the new this weekend.

    The Stratoliner Association {Premiere}

    I have one of the Cornhill ones from a year or so ago--felt is thicker than my Borsolino and my vintage open roads but thinner than my Akubra. Overall, pretty nice with a nice hand. Moldable without steam and holds a crease well with a hit of steam.
