My beautiful bride of 37 years decided I needed this for my upcoming 60th birthday. I think I’m in love

I’ve had this for some time. It was a 7-1/4, a little snug and the sweat was delicate. I would wear this hat off/on, but not regularly. The sweat finally died, torn in several places. Thanks to a new sweat from Scott, I broke it down, cleaned it, reblocked to 7-3/8, and rebuilt it. Cleaned the...

Thanks. I’ve been wondering that myself. I’ve checked their site a couple times the last 2 months, but haven’t asked them. I’m wanting to get a new silver belly Campdraft to put in Cattleman and was waiting until DM got them.

Do you have a size 34?

I’m a consumer. I have lots of hats, but I wear them all, just not all at once. Each hat gets worn. It may sit on the shelf for quite some time, but eventually gets worn. Of course I have my favorite regulars, which change from time to time. Do I have more hats than I need? After all, you can...

Update to this post. After wearing around awhile, the original sweatband started falling apart. It was dry from being old and didn’t survive a sweat or two. So, thanks to a new sweat I acquired from Scott, it’s back to being in the rotation. Nice old hand woven hat!

Resistol Posse. Nice old pristine straw. 5$ price tag. Don’t know how old, but likely post Byer-Rolnick. Nicest vintage straw I’ve acquired.

Straw Resistol “Posse” from Missoula MT. I have many Resistol & Stetson vintage felts, but just ebayed this straw. Really nice straw ( not toquilla, prob shantung), but well made hat. Nice 2 cord ribbon. What gets me is it was original price $5. I’m not familiar with vintage straws as I am...

Wow. Really nice old straw Resistol. That’s one great looking hat!

Newest Stetson 100. Cattleman that I rebashed. Love those 100’s.

I bid but wasn’t willing to stretch myself as I already have a couple 7x

Got this one in today from Delmonico’s. About 30 min later raised the crown, put in a hand crease, and rolled the front of the brim. Got a little Western flair to this Strat. Seemed like that’s what the hat wanted, so I obliged.

Got it in from Delmonico’s today. About 30 min later this hemp Strat got Westernized with a taller crown and a little curl on the front of the brim. Loving the hemp Stetsons.

some extra photos of the OPS Tag 3X Stetson. Great Hat!

OPS Tag Stetson 3X. 3 Strand, bound edge. Lovin it!
