Beautiful. The expo is a dream!

Thanks, Justin - the Expo has such character to it. The Select is a time capsule hat and I've left it open crown as such.

The one that started it all & it's replacement...

I bought a vintage Stetson off ebay many years before discovering The Lounge.
I wore it hard & put it up wet...it gave me good service & then I took it Shorty's in OKC & had it refurbished.
Then I found this place & learned more & more about vintage lids.
Discovered this was a Stetson Corral, 25 level & realized I wanted something like it so it could last longer.
I commissioned Art to make me a Natural Beaver ArtLite with vents & here they both are...

Perhaps the quiet following holiday festivities will bring reflection and a few new photo essays for this thread!

cheers,
Alan

You would never know they were in the same family. Not like Open Roads that looks pretty much the same regardless of era.
