Mr Bowers... there may be hope for you after all!

I now have two Premiere Stratoliners on order, one in Tawny and one in Cornhill. I'm quite excited! It's always nice to hand-crease a hat that no one else has messed with.

I thought Tawny was Cornhill?

Nope, two separate colors. In the pictures, the Cornhill is more grey than the Tawny. When they come in I'll take an outside picture with a grey card so I can get the color adjusted properly and then you'll be able to see the difference.

The latest from Mr. Deckard's tumblr:

captioned: "Coming soon. Knox special edition"

Wow, I can't wait to see the rest of the hat!

Okay, I just saw 3 options on Delmonico's & assumed the Tawny was the Cornhill they had listed... where did you order yours from?

Now we need a Mallory Nokabout.

They have my business for cleaning and other work. I have one of their custom hats as well. They now have a relationship with Stetson (or whatever you want to call it) and Matt Deckard. Both John and I are pretty excited about this new Knox, as John is a big Knox nut.

I went down to pay for them today and pick up a vintage Stratoliner I had cleaned and the sweat replaced (see Strat thread) and paid for the two ordered hats. I'm pretty excited. He has a Tawny Stetsonian out and if the Strats are that good as well, I will be One Happy Person.

or is that Knox Knut?

 

[Landman]

I didn't know there was a Tawny Stratoliner either. I thought there was only Black, Mink and Cornhill. That's great if there is. I hope they make them in many different colors.

That Knox looks fantastic. I can't wait to see the rest of it!

On the Premiere Stratoliner Cornhill is the shade of Tawny. It comes in Tawny, Cornhill and Mink.

Black?

 

[VetPsychWars]

Well, I paid for two hats, Tawny and Cornhill, so we'll see what I get.

If they are anything like my black one I think you will like them.

I wonder why Stetson went with so many different shades of brown on this first run. Seems like one shade of brown and another color like silverbelly would have attracted more buyers.

If they do a silver belly of this quality, I'm all over it.

The Tawny Stetsonian I saw in person looks green to me... and the pictures I've seen of the Cornhill are almost taupe (a color I really like).

Colors I do not have, so looking forward to it.

Quite right, a SB Strat would be well neigh irrasistable.
Such a decision would bypass my rational pre-frontal lobes- and go right to the limbic system "Og need strat".

An easy choice to make & a great idea...>ahem<..."paging Mr. M Deckard."

 

[DougC]

Yeah, silver belly would be a great choice!

I also would love to see a taupe in the Stratoliner or any kind of grey. I have the Cornhill and it is nothing like any taupe I've seen. I agree that Stetson's Tawny is a little greenish, in fact if you go back a couple of pages in this thread You'll see a photo comparison of the two I posted. the Cornhill is more Orange-ish than the Tawny. It's a great color. The pic on Delmonico's website is not a good representation of the Cornhill color.

I banking that the tall open crown Open Road will be silverbelly....
