Thanks fellas for the comments on that green one. I'm lucky to own it. In a rush at the moment so I'll post the Champ Featherweight I wore today and then respond more fully about the Stetson later. There is a link to my PB page here though: http://s261.photobucket.com/albums/ii79/harpplayergene/Stetson Grn Royal DeLuxe/

About that sage green Stetson...

Mine has no imprint of "Open Road" or "Stratoliner" in it anywhere but it is SO that style of Stetson that I always wondered about the damn thing.

At the Memphis get-together, I was just in the midst of describing this hat to the group when a young lady (Alexis, if memory serves) strolled up with one in a box. Just like my hat in every way except hers reads "Open Road" on the sweatband under "Royal DeLuxe Stetson". Oh, and the best part; someone GAVE that hat to her for FREE earlier that day because she mentioned she likes vintage items.

Just last eve, I reshaped this lil' beauty by simply wetting the crown and brim with tap water and conforming it better to what I like. Very minor tweaks. Took to it easily, improved the proportions a touch and it fits better now too.

As we await the photos!!!!

I too have found that water or water misted from a spray is the best to shape a hat. To me it works alot faster than steam, and dries with no after effect.
I did the same thing to my Marathon.... like it a whole lot better with the little bit higher front pinch.

I'm wearing this hat today. It's one of the Johnnyphi Collection, an Adam Royal and my first thin ribbon hat.

It's a nice, lightweight hat with no liner...perfect for days like today: not too hot and humid here today
