Thanks, now that I know the term I can look up the information. From some quick researching seems like it was used in the 1800s too, by military in order to be able to aim a rifle properly.

Slouch refers to any hat with a high crown and and wide brim. An Open Road could be considered a Slouch.

Hmm, how about in terms of ruining the hat. Would sticking a pin (from what I read up on snaps, that seems like it'd be permanent) through the brim leave it with a hole after if I chose to go back to the original form, or would it be unnoticeable?

According to the Digger History page
Contrary to popular belief the word 'slouch' does not refer to the turn-up (leaf). The word slouch refers to any hat with a brim that droops down.
The American Campaign hat is a slouch.

In trying (and succeeding) to soften up the stiff brim on my Stetson Shantung Straw Whippet, using steam and an iron, I ended up with a very rippled brim. Any tips on how to flatten it back out? Here are a couple of pics:

Hello I was wondering if anyone here has any knowledge on a University of Kentucky Stetson hat? I have one in mint condition still in box but can find nothing about it anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Last year there was one that sold on eBay. It was made by a fellow that makes custom cowboy hats in kentucky for the fan organization. It went for around 150 dollars if I am right I was watching it for a co worker. But it went over what he was willing to pay.

How do you pm someone when you're told you don't have permission to access?

 

[jlee562]

IIRC, you have to have 15 posts under your belt before the PM system activates for you.

Thanks

I appreciate the help, jlee.

Still didn't work.
