thanks for the advice!

Hi Nacho. PM sent. Adam

Happy New Years! I picked up this nice Canadian Stetson this weekend. I haven’t seen this specific “The excellent Stetson” liner before. The hat has a very soft to crease crown and tends to want to go telescopic. It has about a 5 1/2” open crown and just under 2” brim. The hat’s dimensions are...
