Stratton The Lawman - Genuine Milan Green
5 inch center dent crown
3 inch brim
3/4 green grosgrain ribbon
My curiosity and the beautiful deep green color drew my interest to this Milan straw uniform hat from Stratton Hats called The Lawman. It’s Another one that is a bit too big. But this one only a size or two. When you remove the chin strap it does let go some of its law enforcement uniform vibes… just a bit. The grommet holes are not that intrusive and this one does not have a badge hole as do many of these type of hats.
I’m probably inclined to move it along… but being it is not too far off in size.. I might stick some sizer material in there and see how it goes. I wonder how the straw might react some steam if I tried to steam in a front pinch.

Thanks Jonathan.Really like that color, Joe.
Nice catch, Randall. Sometimes, you just have to go with your instinct.Most times ya lose. Sometimes ya win!
When buying a hat without enough info and from the listing it looked to be another greenish felt, but happy it’s not!! Love the ribbon color, too!
Didn’t know it’s size from the eBay listing but for a $49 Dunlap size it was a couldn’t lose—and appeared to be a bigger size. It is. 7 1/2!
Needs cleaning and reblocking, but I know a guy.
This probably should be in the eBay thread but I was very recently there with one.
Should turn out nice and be a favorite, and I’m pretty sure I have a Dunlap liner hangin around somewhere.
As usual, with my camera, the underside pic is the felt’s true pearl or light dove gray color.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, bro!Nice catch, Randall. Sometimes, you just have to go with your instinct.
With your eye and your talent, I'd say, your instinct is second to none.
Looking forward to seeing your improvements on this one.
Thanks, Joe!That is a heck of a score, Randall.
I’ve enjoyed watching your collection and your skills grow my friend.Thanks, Joe!
With this Dunlap I now have all the major brands I’ve ever hoped to find along with plenty off brands—with multiples in the major-major brands. I’m sure you’ve got em all covered better than I.
We’ve come a long way with our collections in the last 4 years.
For me, it’s been a blast and you were a big part of it!
Lookin forward to four more!
But I have to say, Mr Blare, I’m still jealous of your Musketeer!
That is a nice hat. Those are really good hats and very durable but hard to form. I seldom pass one up.View attachment 551612
