Great hat Terry, and it looks great with the suit! Guessing that is Silver Belly, and am looking forward to one coming to my home this week (the Heritage felt made for Hats Direct at the behest of Lounge Folk here). I was surprised actually, at how good it looked with your suit! (Always thought them more of a casual hat, but you've shown us it has a wider range than that).
Back in May, I picked up a nice condition brown Stetson of undetermined vintage (I'm thinking 1950's, do the size tag and logo stamp support that?) and model and mentioned it here. Got home a couple weeks ago, and haven't posted it yet. Here are some pics I shot earlier tonight....
The "diamond" bash that's in it now isn't very tight, this will be my first attempt at using steam, going to try to tighten up the diamond a bit (it was really a cross between a diamond and a C crown when I got it, and I've just tweaked it a bit more towards diamond by hand so far). I think it'll look great with a crisper diamond, I like the front and side profiles just how they are now.
