2015 Stetson Excellent Quality GREEN THIN RIBBON (Preview & Review)
I don't think you would regret getting the hat in sage. The color combo of hat and ribbon is what sets that hat apart from the crowd, that and the quality of the hat. I have no regrets. -

Hat traditions ?
Being born and raised in Brooklyn, at least fr the first 18 years and remembering all the male members of my family always wearing a fedora and one uncle in particular who was a very smart dresser, it left an impression on me so much so that I started wearing fedoras from the tender age of about... -

Resistol Beaver Twenty Project
Yesterday I cleaned and re-blocked an Appleby I bought off ebay for $39.99. Sweat and liner are in excellent shape but the body was rippled and the ribbon was wrinkled in spots and loose. I blocked it on a hat shaper and proceeded to start washing it with water and terry cloth until all the... -

What hat are you waiting for today?
Update, just received my Grand Central from DelMonico. I couldn't be more pleased. The felt fells slightly thicker than my Premier Strat, the crown measures exactly 5 1/2", the brim exactly 2 3/8". the under-welt stitching is flawless as is the sweat stitching. It's marked Royal DeLuxe Stetson... -

Beaver X Question
What amuses me is when they label a 200X hat as containing 50% beaver and 50% CASHMERE, it's wool!!!. Perhaps a finer, albeit more delicate wool, it's still wool and not a fur. Another thing most of us are aware of, manufacturers add X's based on the jewelry they add to the hat, and nothing at... -

Movie hats
To me it looks 3", possibly a tad narrower but, whatever it is I like the balance of brim width to crown height. I favor tall crowns. -

Cattlemans crease
They both look good but I favor the Campdraft, to me it's more of what a modified cattleman crease should look like, just my opinion though. -

What hat are you waiting for today?
Follow up, Jeff saw my order and pulled it, contacted me to advise me that they did indeed have one in my size and would I prefer that instead, which I do. He made the switch, so I'll be getting it in my correct size. The man is a a gem. Just wanted to give him props and the staff at DelMonico... -

What hat are you waiting for today?
While I haven't heard from Sterling, I went ahead and covered my bases by ordering one from DelMonico, ordered one size up from my usual size because they sold out in my size, no problem, I can shrink it one size if necessary. At least I know I have a hat coming, I generally receive orders from...
