I've been wearing my Stetson Ermine a lot lately. I can't make up my mind which crease I like best, front or side View attachment 338693 View attachment 338694 View attachment 338695 View attachment 338696 View attachment 338697 View attachment 338698 View attachment 338699

I can’t tell you how bad I feel for you not knowing how best to crease your Ermine.
I could look at it all day, Max.

Akubra Cooabah after a long day at work and a long evening in the garden. Enjoying a Guinness. Or should I say “My goodness my Guinness”

Have a safe evening everyone

After seeing your pics Max, i looked across the room and said...one of these Max.
The prob with “very obedient” felt is it doesn’t tell YOU what IT wants. I guess.
Exquisite hat Max!!

Nice hat, but I really dig the shirt.

Great hat and jacket!

Thank you Randall, probably my fav combo.

I enjoy looking at that one, Ross.

Thanks, Max. Yours is out there waiting to be found.

Good morning! It is June already.

Dog soirre in a Dalton fedora. This light felted fedora has felt that is a cool white hue.

(Advertisment was sourced by Dave.)

Feeling summery not spring like the above advertisement alludes to. This felt has the "new Mistery felt that is made water-resistant." It does say medium brim width and comes in five colors. I am very curious what the other colors were.

Home and sipping coffee in a Panacool straw hat.

Cheers, Eric -

Nice hat, but I really dig the shirt.

Thanks, Jim. I lucked into the shirt through the good graces of a couple of FL members, @mikespens and @dh66. Mike sent Dale a care package and I was fortunate enough be the recipient of what didn’t work for him; this one and a Tori Richard with abalone buttons. Here’s what to look for if you’re ever doing a search for one. I miss Mike.

Thank you Randall!

Playing with vintage summer style in this warm afternoon... vintage Brunetto boater from the 30's and a vintage blazer I found this week, probably from the 70's.

Since, for now, it’s a size 7 1/8 I’m not able to wear it yet, but Definitely will after a small sweatband stretch and hat body re-block. At this point l can say with complete confidence that no harm will come to its beautiful integrity or wonderful condition.
Late 40s/early 50s Imperial Stetson.
The brown color has a much more luxurious, muted hue than the typical brown, don’t know if you can tell in these pics.
The dress weight felt is super smooth and obedient. I’ll leave the diamond crease close to as it arrived.
Got this crazy nice hat for $51 and a rare Demon-Hanover hat box for $33 shipped.
The binding on top is 3/4” and on bottom 5/16” the brim width 2 13/16”
1 1/2” hat band. A serious beauty!
The eBay listing didn’t include any pics of the inside and only said it was an Imperial in the title description.
Took a slight chance(ha!)and bought it anyway. Bad pics, but could tell it was an awesome deal.
Was expecting the hat to show up with a crispy, cracked sweatband, but was surprised by its new condition. Thickest leather I’ve ever seen in a Stetson! Thing might even fit if it had a thin sweat!
Might should’ve waited till I fixed her up before posting, but wanted to share this one with y’all and couldn’t wait.
Included some photos of my late 40s Imperial “Fifteen” summer weight for comparison.
It was a size 7, but made the stretch with absolutely no stretching symptoms.

Forgive me, but I probably should have posted this in the eBay victories thread. Howbeit, I had said that I’d share my new hats with folks here.

Fresh from a refurbishment at Optimo, this is my oldest hat at about 18 years old. Canyon Gray fedora

Getting a cup of coffee before heading out to do a welding job for a friend. I couldn’t resist wearing my new Hufvud Bogart, again.

Have a blessed and wonderful evening.

Wore my Army Stetson for Memorial Day. 5x, which I tell people is "military grade" cardboard, although that's unfair. My original hat had actually survived years of faithful service before being gifted to my replacement, and this new one seems just as tough.

I think the crown will stay as-is in order to give me frontal space for the captain bars and sabers, and I'm trying out an "open road" style of straight brim without any outrageous upturns.
