Very fine and even and large sizes.

NOS Elis Shantung with silk ribbon. Ribbon has small triangle and square patterns stitched in. Guessing 30's but could be earlier though not by much.

Garrett, that is one sweet looking hat!
Classic lines from the side shot.

Sam, something really charming about that Mallory. I think it's the color and the wear. Very cool.

Man of Kent, I like the rehfus! I Almost bought a stingy champ today until I saw another one.

Rlk, did you inadvertently find these bodies or had you planned on getting them customized? Either way they look very beautiful.

Garrett, holy cow that is cool! Nice find, nice crease, nice ribbon. Is that a French horn bell on the chair?

I got lucky today with this dark grey royal Stetson. I couldn't say no, and I think I was its first crease! It has a nice matching wide backbow, black liner that I haven't seen before, and came with a sweet box. Here are a few prelim shots.

The nicest vintage straw I've seen.

Sweet Stetson Jeff.

Garrett, holy cow that is cool! Nice find, nice crease, nice ribbon. Is that a French horn bell on the chair?

Yes, that's the bell of my '87 Paxman double. Several of us on here were or are horn players. Robert is one of us as well

Here is a closer shot of the ribbon detail. Note the raised stitching pattern; back-to-back triangles with squares

Garrett, I love it... Now to find one in my size

 

[ManofKent]

Garrett - nice find

Beautiful straws, Robert and Garrett. I had to look up Frankfort, NY. Is it marked Shantung?

 

[Garrett]

Yes, marked Shantung with "chopsticks" text. Its difficult to see since that part of the sweatband is in the shade. If you click on that image of the liner and then magnify it you can see the "Shantung" on the left side.

Boater from Lock & Co. I normally wear a size 60, this is a 59 and although it fits perfectly front to back, it's quite wide and required a lot of padding.

I'm having Tim of Cane's Creations make me a custom lid, but I picked up this much-maligned Stetson Three Forks Gun Club hat from Cabela's for $89 shipped. At that price, I couldn't pass it up. The brim needs some work, but I snapped this picture as soon as I unboxed the hat. I like lower crowns with some taper (I know, I'm odd), so this works o.k. for me. With that said, I'm anxious to see what Tim comes up with.

BR - nice boater. They're made by Olney and I had a similar issue - not exactly over-sized, but because you wear them so high up compared to a felt they do come up large, and of course they don't conform to the head in the same way a soft hat will.

Steve - proportions look good.

I received an unexpected gift yesterday, one of my best friends in the world bought me a Stetson Stratoliner! It's beautiful hat and I'll wear it with pride.

Thanks Marky, may your kindness be returned a hundredfold.

 

[Chepstow]

Geldoc, Garret, BR, Steve and pjt, great hats, all.

 

[bowlerman]

Pete, that's such a special gesture. Looks great!

I wanted to expand on my new Royal Stetson with some better pics. It's really one of the coolest hats I've found, not to mention in absolutely pristine condition. Brim is 2 1/4".

 

[hatophile]

Nice straw Strat Pete.

Jeff, that is a beautiful Stetson!
