pay no mind to the troll if you ignore him he'll get frustrated and go away. I like the pinch and the brim Roan Its got some great character, plenty of style, and more than a little panache.

Troll? I've got quite a few postings and none of them are remotely troll-like. Are we only allowed to say "oh, that unusual thing you did is super-wonderful"? I was surprised he did it, as that's by no means a usual way to wear a fedora. I'd not choose to do that.

If you guys are going to be jerks, then I'll be happy to be a jerk in return. But in the meantime, shut it.

And, to get back on topic, I see that Delmonico charged my card two days ago. I hope that means my Stetsonian is shipping soon!

Yesterday I paid for my premium Stetsonian. I eagerly await same, perhaps it'll be the first one to hit Canada. While googling trying to find out more about the old Brockville, Ontario plant that Stetson had operated commencing around 1935, I stumbled upon a pamphlet put out in 1965 entitled "The Stetson Century". It's probably well-known to many of you, but I thought I'd post the link for the information of newer members such as myself:

The Brass Rooster is getting some of the Stratoliners, so I am eager to see some of these colors in person.

homburg prototype in the Stetson hat factory.

Is there a way to keep track of whether or not this hat will be produced? Or will I need to keep referring back to a Stetson website, somewhere?

Our tracking shows it out for delivery

Wow, and just like that, the mailman delivered it! Thanks, Jeff! This is a nice hat, and I don't even need to add the qualifier "for a modern production hat." Definitely worth the price, and a style I didn't have in my daily rotation. Kudos to Matt Deckard, Hatco, Stetson, and all the retailers offering this hat. :eusa_clap



Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Very sharp Brad, but it's a little disconcerting not seeing you in a bowler.

Can't wait to hear what you think, Brad!

Edit: wow, the delivery was faster than my scroll through the thread. Isn't it a nice hat?! I wore mine today. I really like it. Kudos to Stetson and Matt Deckard!

A couple of us have received our Cornhill colored Stratoliners. Has anyone received the mink or black yet?

Isn't Mink and Cornhill the same color?

 

[Landman]

I think I found the answer to my question. Tawny and Cornhill would be the same color. Mink is a darker brown. Correct?

 

[job]

Yes, the mink is closer to whiskey in color.

The new Stetsonian and Stratoliner are sharp looking hats folks. Thanks for sharing your grand new fedoras.

I have not contributed to this thread, as the conservative part of me has been waiting to see how the hats have turned out and what the comments of the owners might be. I am impressed with what I have seen so far. Stetson seems to be answering the minority of hat owners who have a discerning eye and better than normal hat experience with these versions. I am very tempted to add a "new" version of either hat to my hat closet. A huge luxury of the "new hats" is being able to choose a color. That will never, ever, be the case when sourcing vintage hats in my small size. I look at the vintage advertisements (like the copy of the Saturday Evening Post version in the pic below) and imagine what it must have been like to walk into a mens haberdashery and have many choices.

I do own a couple of vintage Stetsonians and Stratoliners. I really enjoy wearing them. Owning a new version would save me from wearing my vintage hats to their demise. For those interested, below is a pic of a vtg. Stetson Stetsonian (green) Twenty (with original box) and a vtg. Stratoliner (pine green).

Congrats on the fine hats, Eric -
