Light blue/gray Stratoliner

[ledsled]

Here's some pictures of a Stratoliner I got from "thefedorastore". I hope you will be able to see the blue influence in the gray color. It makes for an interesting color, and I think it works well with this Stratoliner!

(Sorry I haven't graduated to having the pictures appear in this posting yet. Thanks for the links Duane).

Very nice hat-the color is similar to a Strat I own, but yours tends more to the
Gray-terrrific looking-congrats on da hat!!

 

[DOUGLAS]

It is a beauty! congrats

I really like strats. Hats, guitars, planes... Love the color.

Classic hat & great color!

 

[feltfan]

That is a beautiful hat.

But if I could be frank for a moment, it's
a very strange crown block. I wonder what
was used? I am referring specifically to the
rounded top and the bumpy bits (the latter could
just be the lighting). Duane? Did it come to you like that?

I mean no offense, I'm just wondering. It's a classic
hat in an unusual and pleasing color,
and I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it.

BTW, ledsled, all you have to do to get the picture to appear is
click on the little yellow icon with pyramids,
above the text composition window and paste your URL:

Great hat!!!!!

Thanks for the compliments!

I don't know about the block. Maybe Duane will see this thread and have an answer. I used very harsh side-lighting to try and get the most detail possible (and the best depth of field to compensate for any errors in the autofocus). Also, on my computer's screen the hat looks more gray than it really is. In "reality" it's got a lot of baby blue to the gray.

I photographed my other hats, and will be joining more secret brotherhoods around here.... but I won't spill the beans until I can post the pictures! Thanks Feltfan for the hints on how to do that. I'll have to give it another shot and see how I can screw it up. lol

Stratoliner clone???

Pardon my ignorance but is this a "clone" of the Stratoliner, i.e. is it brand new made with modern components. If so, how did you get the Stetson sweatband and crown liner?

I believe this is a refurbish of a vintage Stratoliner, by the fine folks at the Fedora Store.

How 'bout a picture with the hat on?

 

[ledsled]

I agree with RBH

I agree with RBH. If you look at the sweatband, while it's in mint condition, it does not look new.

Feltfan: I don't see any pyramids to click on, so will rely on my primitive link again. :rage:

Not yet...

Let's just say the harsh lighting really DOES show every little detail. In my case, my frail ego doesn't want to share the results! lol

I'll have to wait for a foggy day and try a few shots then...

I think sky blue is an appropriate color for a hat with ties to aviation. I love my brown one but I'd really love to find one that color. Neat lid!

Okay, now you've done it. Here's what you're looking for:

Pyramids? Triangles?

Why those are two mountains on a postcard with a postage stamp in the upper right hand corner!!

Let's see if I can get it this time. If I do, THANK YOU. If I don't, thank you for your patience!!

 

[RBH]

Your liner and sweat are the same as my Stratoliner. .
Great hat.
Great photo.

 

[ledsled]

age RBH?

Have you figured out an age for your strat RBH? I figure it would be a safe assumption if mine has the same interior detailing, then it would fall into the same range.

From post I have seen here, I have the idea that our Stratoliners are from the 1940's.
Nothing concrete, just what I think.
