Good morning. My morning soirre was taken under the brim of a Cadet Blue fedora.

Stetson Premier Stratoliner.

Thanks guys. I really enjoy the hat and appreciate its uniqueness. It is a hat that has a special place on my hat rack.

The Premier Stratoliner is a glorious version of the Stratoliner. As to the color, Cadet Blue, it is very vibrant blue. As the name implies it is Air Force Cadet Blue. The historic periodical advertisements refereed to it as a Cadet Blue.

It is a hard hat to take photos of. This morning's pics are not the best as the new morning sun washed everything with too much vivid colors. Crazy early Fall sunlight! The pic of me wearing the hat gives a better idea of the felt hue.

Apologies if the above is too much info. Enjoy felt hat time, Eric -
No such thing as too much info on a great hat, Eric. Or, really, ANY hat!!

Heading down into Houston tomorrow for a friends funeral. Had to test fit the suit to make sure I dont have and surprises when I put it on (2nd time in 5-1/2 yrs I put on a suit) Im debating whether to wear a hat due to the heat, but both the black Temple and Black Bogart do look good with it. Of course its a Texas funeral so I guess I could wear one of the nicer Open Roads
