You're ready to hit the town, Michael. Love the OR, that diamond crease is perfect. Cool sport coat and top coat too. What are those boots? They look impressive.

Thanks Doug. This is a very comfortable hat to wear. The sport coat was made by Gianfilippo Benci in Italy, the coat is by Diamond Leather in El Paso and the boots are older made in England Dr Martens. I think I'm set for the weather today.

Good morning, Before the sun rose I was heading on my commute in a Cordova Cap (Fox wool).

Back home for a dog walk in a vtg. Stetson. The hat box arrived mid week and I finally had an opportunity to open the box and see the hat. This vintage Stetson is a milk chocolate brown felt.

Thick but very clay-like in its ability to flex and take shape. The mid-ribbon shows patina, but is a wonderful mid-ribbon. Wind cord intact and works.

When flipped over the inside liner shows the lineage - Royal De Luxe Stetson. The embroidery in the liner is gorgeous although shows some age. The leather sweat is in excellent shape. No issues with wearing this hat from the leather sweat.

The binding is a heavy ribbon sewn on the edge. The top and bottom are equal distant from the edge. The excellent stitching is apparent in the attached picture. The edge of the hat feels weighted and easily snaps down. The brim is flanged for a deep snap.

The mystery is what model of hat in the vintage Stetson line-up could this hat be. No labels remain in the hat. The sweat is not embossed with anything other than "Royal De Luxe Stetson" and the seller, "Miller's Merchantile, Ridgeway, Penn."

This mystery model vtg. Stetson is a marvelous hat. I will steam and shape it later this week.

Best, Eric -

Had a hard time deciding what hat to wear to church this morning. I played with the Rose Bowl fedora and my Mallory Ten Homburg. It was a toss up. But, my mind was on Matt this morning, thinking of us all wearing Homburgs in celebration of his return on Easter. So I went with the Mallory, which came to me via Matt. View attachment 71175
