Post New Hats Here!

I owned a black 1930s Stetson Standard Quality for a couple of years, which I loved but never wore it because it was a little small (7-3/8) and the sweatband threads were coming loose. A few weeks ago, I found its twin in 7-1/2 on a table at a gun show, but it was missing the sweatband. With nothing to preserve this time, I took it to Texas Hatters in Lockhart to have them install a new sweatband - I picked it up last Friday and they did an incredible job. I am not sure if this was a Standard Quality like my other one because the felt is much softer - and the felt is incredible. I can shape the brim anywhere I want it and it just stays in place. Brim is about 2-3/4" and original bash remains at 5". I love owning a piece of history that I can still wear!

I don't recall seeing brim stitching quite like that before.

Very nice OPA era hat.

Believe it or not, I pulled the trigger on this at 7AM Saturday. It was on my porch this afternoon. It has some staining on the top, an unfortunate remnant of being unlined. I shall have her bathed, shaped, and brought to my quarters.

Bonus: the wind trolley was tucked up under the ribbon - you couldn't see it from the seller's photos. I'm jazzed.

My new hat also comes from Stetston (well Stetson Europe...)
It quite cheap, it's made of some faux leather (cotton and polyester), but hey I believe it's supposed to last for just one season.
Over here in France it's called the Stetson Odenton. They do have a similar model made ouf of some real leather though. I might get it next year.

I'm glad because I usually wear trilbies in spring time and panamas in summer time and but this year I decided to change. This is my first pork pie and it looks quite unique. I'm bored to see everyone around me showing off their trilbies (even though it's a good sign that hats are becoming trendy again). But I guess I did not feel special enough Now I'm currently looking to wear a traveler this summer.

Today my Stetsonian got his first head time.

Real nice soft felt, you can tell the quality in the hat.

Really like it a lot.

Scored a really nice Resistol at a fantastic price on a tip from my man Jim.

Really nice hat ... and I've really been craving a cattleman crease ... This hat showed up with one

I have to be honest ... I'm just not feeling this crease on me

I want to like it ... but I just don't
