1910s -1920s Stetson 'The Fray'

[Flat Foot Floey]

Not sure what the beef is here but I am rather sure some ex-loungers left because of some mods and the general lack of contribution.

Not because of discussions and different opinions about the dating of certain items. This only adds to the leraning process, doesn't it?

hmmm, you may be talking of a man who couldn't accept that a jacket was too tight around his hips. All he had to do was close the vent or let out the seams Man, now that was a hissy fit!

And I could see why most Californians left this forum. They warned me. But hey you have at it.

Purdue. Greek/Frat letters inside sweatband.

Orange and blue are contrasting colors great and opposite of the color chart. If it were black it would just look to Halloween.

Lafayette, IN. All hail the old gold and black, etc.

Mods: edit function, please.

Why doesn't someone post the hat in the hat forum and see what the Stetson lovers think of whether the band is original?

P.S. I'm enjoying this discussion. I know next to nothing about hats, therefore have no opinion, but a good debate is always fun.

You guy's are just too weird about "flashy" clothes.

What's weird about preferring not to wear flashy clothes? It's just personal choice. Furthermore, certain styles of clothing have certain connotations, which vary from place to place. I wouldn't want to wear a suit in a really bold check pattern because it has the old music hall comedian connotations. And some outfits take you into the realm of costume rather than clothing. Again, that's something I try to avoid. And some people live in areas where they'd get their heads kicked in if they tried wearing anything too flash.

Furthermore, not wanting to wear 'flashy' clothes, doesn't mean you don't appreciate them.

Oh, the Ted Bovis look?

I suspect this is the hat that started this little kerfuffle here nearly a decade ago…. A little update for posterity
