changed my crease on my stetson medalist...

[coble]

all right since most of my posts i've talked about how i like my fedoras with the brim flipped up on the front. Here is my stetson Medalist. I just finished reshaping the crease, i wanted to show you guys, and see what you all think. This hat was bought off ebay. I found out after i had bought it, that it used to hang in the persons barn. So the sweatband was all messed up and the ribbon was ruined. So i added a piece of leather on it. I'm eventually going to buy a horse hair handband for this hat. Now this hat was a fedora, with a teardrop pinch crease. So enjoy, i personally love the look it turned out really nice. i do have 2 photos with me wearing the hat as well.

It's an interesting look, and one that I've definitely never seen before, but you pull it off really well. It looks natural on you.

Nice Oreana crease, coble. I think more than a few Rebs walked their last in such a similar hat...

BTW, I'm looking for Stetson Medalist information. Pics of the sweatband and what's underneath would be greatly appreciated if you can swing it.

this is the inside. Like i said the sweatband got ruined, it was crackled and fell off, so there's a temporary one in it. But the logo inside is in excellent shape. So i hope this photo helps you out.

Again i hope this helps. My medalist came to me in really rough shape. As you could see in the photos the ribbon is gone, it was falling apart, and the inside sweatband didn't look great at all since it was falling apart in pieces. So i did my best to clean it up. If you need help looking for a medalist, i will keep my eye out for it and i'll let you know. Its a nice hat, really comfortable. The one i have has a wider brim and i wear a size 7 1/4 if that helps with size and look of the medalist.

here is a forum on the lounge talking about the stetson medalist. I hope this helps. Like i said its a great hat, mine unfortunately is not in that great of condition but that doesn't mean i don't love wearing it.
By the way thanks for the reply on my medalist. I'm thinking of getting a custom hat made the same way, but with a sahara color beaver fur, so really light tan color. Also i'm thinking of getting the brim a little wider.

here's the forum link.
