I wore a Stetson for my morning soirée. The tan/carmel hued felt is highlighted by the sage green ribbon treatment. This hat, not an expensive hat when purchased new, is a fav. The edge treatment!

Home for warm coffee for both my hands and spirit. I changed to a Dobbs Twenty. Dobbs in the day really figured out how to work with felt.

I scampered about completing errands wearing a minty Stetson. The felt hue in person is a very white-ish gray. Stunning felt hue.

Thanks for the hat compliment.

Dobbs Twenty is indeed grand hat! If you will, I will pontificate a bit on the hat characteristics. The Dobbs has that thicker felt that just easily takes a crease. Very malleable. The rounder crown and side creases are indicative of the little bit thicker felt. The leather sweat is a big step above vintage Stetsons of same age. I have not mentioned, yet, the edge treatment. It is just classy and well done. The felt hue happens to be a preferred hue of mine.

Cheers, Eric -

The Stetson Twenty-Five is up and fully functioning. The sweatband should be reinstalled in a prettier manner, but it’s solid so I’ll let it be. Besides being a student of the “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” school, I’m not at all confident that I can actually do a better job.

I love this hat, with its big, straight crown (even bigger than my 7XCB), silver color (truly looks like the definition of ‘silver belly’), the thin, clay-like felt and broad brim. I broke one of my hat rules and put a c-crease in him since he already has one big crease ghost from a previous owner.

My new go-to hat.
