JT, The Dobbs Marquis looks great on you.
gtd, You're giving that conversion a workout. It...
Having had both hats, I'd definitely buy an Akubra Federation IV or step up to a Fed IV Deluxe before I'd buy another Stetson Nostalgia. This is primarily due to the quality of Stetson's Sovereign Quality felt.

As the old song goes, "You're never fully dressed without a pin"!
Nice TWA pin, nickn5. It'll look great on your OR.
Here's an old Foresters of American screwback from ebay. It'll go on my green VS Forrestor.
This 7 1/8 Royal Stetson in a Dobbs hatbox went for $26.00. Shipping was $27.25.

The China Clipper
I snagged this screwback Pan Am Martin M-130 Flying Boat pin on ebay last evening. Probably made in the 30's or 40's. 7/8" long. I'll wear it on my Stetson Flagship once it arrives.
