Stetson Stratoliner Vita Felt - Light Powder Blue
4 3/4 unlined crown as shaped
3/8 light bluish white grosgrain ribbon
2 5/8 brim with 1/8 matching binding
86 grams

“All things come to those who wait” This one took some patience but it has now arrived and it is spectacular. An early Stetson Stratoliner in light powder blue Vita Felt. A wonderfully light weight unlined hat checking in at 86 grams. The thin felt presents a sleek sharp crease. It includes the super cool embroidered Stratoliner tip patch and beautiful blue rear sweat seam bow. This was the hat I was bidding on when I fell and nearly crashed through my sliding glass door a few weeks back. An ideal combination of weight, color, styling and shape that should definitely have this be a daily wear kinda hat for me but will also have me battling the urge to want to “save” this one for special occasions.

A HUGE thank you to @BobHufford for the tip off on this one.

The felt color is a very light powder or pale sky blue... my phone camera wanted to photograph it a much richer blue tone that I tried to color correct as best I could. But I thought I would include the original ones just for fun.

Powder blue no less! Pretty sweet Strat, Joe.

Eric, you are the only person I know who cleans the yard in a custom hat. I love them both.

Dobbs Harris Tweed
This Dobbs warm tone Harris tweed was one of the travel mates of my powder blue Strat. Probably would not have been something I would pick up on its own but I really like the color on this tweed. It is a tan warm tone base with bits of green, yellow, oranges, reds, browns and blue.
