Newest project delivered by the nice mailman today. A decently nice but dirty Stetson Gun Club hat ( no tag inside so Im not really sure exactly WHAT it actually is lol) The hat band looks like the ones that Ive seen on the "Billy the Kid" line hat, so Im pretty sure its not original. Buts a...
Lets have a touch of color this morning. This poor little royal stetson was neglected, abused, rode hard and put up wet before it found a home on my wall.. Love the green ribbon and binding in contrast to the orangish- brown felt
In 1972 I bought my first fedora- A Stetson Moose River. I was big into archery back then, and Fred Bear was one of my heros...This was the closet thing I could afford to Freds Borsalino. ( back then I didnt know what a Borsalinio was, but I COULD spell Stetson) Somewhere (?) I know Ive got a...
Happy Fathers Day to all! Hug your Dad if you still have them, or think of them if not. Today Im wearing my Dads hat for coffee. I found it all dirty and smashed up when I cleared his house out. Dissassembeled and deep cleaned, and reblocked and stretched from 6 7/8 to my 7 1/4. Cut almost 2"...
A lightly modified Akubra Stockman made it up top today. Brim trimmed to a more modest 2 1/2" , leather hatband replaced with a ribbon, and hat stretched from a 59 to 59
I actually hat the hat in my watchlist, but it had inched up beyond what I wanted to pay for it. With the discount they offered I got it for what it was worth to me. I figure I find enough $25 hats... might as well pay market price for something once in a while. I got a nice hat at a decent...
A minor ebay snafu that worked out well... Had bought a cheaper hat and THIS was in the box when it arrived (got ahold of the seller and ended working a deal for BOTH hats). Its a nice clean '85 era Stetson James Dean Foundation 4x beaver in silverbelly and actually in a 7 1/4 Long Oval...
Just worked through a little ebay snafu here.... I had bought a Stetson Gun Club hat for a decent casual around town hat. The box came in today and the wrong hat was in the box!. The one I got was a nicer Stetson silverbelly 4x beaver James Dean Foundation hat that is an actual, for real 7 1/4...
Supposed to be sunny today here.. thought I wear something a bit larger than usual. So the old Akubra Lawson gets the call this morning. Have had this hat since about 2008 if I remember correctly... Its faded a bit lighter shade over time, but has held up really nicely. It was my first Akubra...
Perhaps someday, somewhere, somehow a bunch of us should meet up at a nice patio bar and make that part of the world a little brighter with a bunch of distinguished gentlemen wearing nice hats and some of these georgous shirts!
After the Stratoliner at the coffee shop, I DID change my mind and pop on the Stetson/ Miller with the new ribbon for a grocery run. Figured I didnt go to the effort of a new ribbon just to sit on the wall lol. Oh well its pretty common for me to change my mind and do two or even three hats...
