Does the older "Imperial" have a different hand to it? My recent production "Imperial" has a suede like sort of feel.
Bob, I almost overlooked this question. I don't have much to compare it to. The other Imperial stetsons I have are homburg hats that were made under license by Failsworth in England. It does feel like has some sort of nap to it though. Very nice and pliable felt.

Niiiiiiiice! The way that felt creases shows off the quality right away.

Blue hat moved to Classifieds: Two Cav edge fedoras I picked up yesterday afternoon, both 7 1/4:

blue late '40s/early '50s Saks-Fifth Avenue
grey '70s Brooks Brothers

Colors are most accurate in the view from the top of both hats.
