They call me the Wanderer...

Introducing the Stetson Wanderer!

OK, a Wanderer clone. I thought I’d reopen an old thread and maybe generate some more interest.

And, I’ll have to credit @TJones for this one. A while back he mentioned the Wanderer and how it was similar to many of the thin ribbons but carried a 1 inch, mid-width ribbon. I had just acquired a new-to-me 60’s vintage Stetson Twenty Five OR that needed some TLC, so I sent it to Hat Master, Art Fawcett. Art did the cleanup, re-creased the hat in a Hank Williams fedora/western style, and installed the tone-on-tone 1-inch ribbon to match the hat and brim binding. TaDa – a Wanderer. Maybe not an exact duplicate, but I hope it meets with your approval!

Other than my westerns, this is the largest hat I own. It has a 2 7/8 inch brim and a 5 inch finished crown (which is probably 6 inches or slightly more open crown). A nice hand; similar to my 50’s OR and Strat but with a slightly thicker/heavier felt.

And if any of you come across a real Stetson Wanderer, please keep me in mind

Nice! ...and just my size!

Above is my Phoenix pretty close to Stetson Wanderer. 5/8" crown ribbon. Below is a Gannon in 9 ligne (3/4"). Also close to a wanderer.
