When I picked up this Imperial Stetson this morning, it reminded me of why I love hats. I wish I could put that into words...
Of course, the nice thing about this place is that you guys get it.
Have a superduper surreal Saturday.
Got a second hat in Australia.
Just outside Sydney, went to The Hattery. Lovely, very helpful ladies there, and a great selection of Akubras and other hats. Tried on a bunch of contenders, but decided on a Banjo Patterson in black. Years ago, I debated hard between a Lawson and a Banjo Patterson, and went with the Lawson. So now I've got the other.
You know how the days after you you buy a new hat, seeing it on yourself out of the hat store, it sometimes seems different to you? My other Akubras, I liked even more. This one, I'm not sure about yet. I really liked it in the store, but now the crown seems a little more rounded to me. And since I have a massive noggin, (7 7/8 or 63, Long Oval) I'm very sensitive to hats that that have a really tall crown or wide brim. This brim is great, but I'm not sure how the taller brim works with my big head.
Thanks Richard
I love that hat.Hey all!
Whoa.
I looked.at mmbarnes pics and the next thing I knew I was three miles from home in a tree.
Dude...
And then, when I went home I just had this urge to put on this 40,'s Game Bird.
Have a great day!

Fantastic Whippet, Jim.Saturday and a touch of snow. Standing under a mid-50s Royal Stetson Whippet.

Thank you Bill.
That's a great looking hat. The bow work is very cool.
Stetson 3X that I think is from the mid 50s.
Embroidered Last Drop liner
Size tag, manufacturers label point to mid 50s. Store price tag for $18 is more like late 60s which I don’t believe this hat is. More pics in New Hats thread
Have a great weekend

Ha ha, did you steal my Monkee Wards pants Bob? Nice looking Resistol, but I think a color like Charcoal might be favored for burning attire.Woke up late to discover a light rain and no wind. Brush burning time! Tossed on a jacket and boots along with my new work hat ... a Resistol that I just added a leather rough-out band to. Excuse the look. I call it "Accidental @Michael A "...

Thanks Michael, I'm actually a 7 1/4 but this one fits me perfectly. I guess I wasn't aware that the model was Longhorn until just now, thanks again.
