I Got A Winner!!

[DOUGLAS]

My Stetson Week-Ender Arrived today.WOW, this is a woderful hat. The liner is perfect. The sweat band is perferated and is perfect. It has all tags as far as I can tell.The body is in really great condition. The only other hat I have that is this soft is a Knox Vagabond. I would have prefered it in the brown tones but this is fine. It has vents punched into the sides of the crown and at the base of the crown behind the ribbon. The sweat is also sewn to fabric which is attached to the body. This is a really nice piece and I did not expect it to be so. I feel lucky

Yow! that's a supercool hat!

 

[Cruiser]

Outstanding, Douglas

Congratulations! You are a premier hat collector, and this is a fabulous hat.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Now my only problem is how to style it. It came kind of like this.

I can turn the brim down

Or I can crease the crown into more of a C with a tighter pinch.

What do you guys think?

 

[deanglen]

Brim down. C-crown, with a pinch. And I thought punched vent holes went out with 1898!

[Feraud]

Ouch! The hat is so sharp looking it hurts!
I like it brim down with a slight pinch.

Congrats, on a great hat.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Guys, I didn't expect it to be so good. I am truely suprized. The photos did not show so many of the details.

 

[Joel Tunnah]

Am I crazy, or is the center-dent cocked way to the left?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I'm just ... speechless. WOW!!!!!!

Very nice hat Douglas

I agree with the c crown, turned down brim, tight pinch and maybe add a bit more rake to it. I sure wish that I could teach the moths down here that pattern, they tend to do more of a random hole motif here. lol

 

[DOUGLAS]

JT, Your not crazy But it is the hat that is cocked because the brim is off. I lined the brim to front so the crown looks cocked.

I think this has been my best buy in a long time, only $39.00.

 

[Flitcraft]

That is a really cool hat! Good score!

 

[Razzman]

My only consolation in seeing this beautiful hat is knowing we are not the same size!

Unfortunately that is not the case with me!!!!:cry: :cry: lol lol lol

Congratulations Douglas.......another GORGEOUS hat!! I tend to prefer the C crown with a tight pinch myself.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Iknow exactly how you feel Feraud. If that Strat that Tony has was my size it would be on my head. I can't believe how great that hat is. He looks great with it too.

 

[DOUGLAS]

I am leaning toward that style Spiridon

 

[Feraud]

Unfortunately that is not the case with me!!!!:cry: :cry: lol lol lol

Oooh sorry to hear that.

Iknow exactly how you feel Feraud. If that Strat that Tony has was my size it would be on my head. I can't believe how great that hat is. He looks great with it too.

Yep that is a nice lid.
If I cannot have it I am happy a Lounger is wearing it!
