A couple of new ones

[Wayfarer]

I recently picked up a Stetson Stratoliner and a Resistol.

I really like the Resistol. Its really soft but holds it shape.

I am the only one home so I will have to post "mug" shots later.

I don't own a "Soft" hat yet. I have to give it a try.

Those are both very nice hats. I can't wait to see a head under them.

I don't own a "Soft" hat yet.

At one time ('30s and earlier, I think), all hats that we now call fedoras were referred to as "soft hats." This was in distinction to top hats and bowlers, which are more formal than soft hats and are naturally stiff.

But I know what you meant.

The Resistol looks to have a nice wide brim. Congratulations!:eusa_clap

Cheers!

Great hats, Wayfarer. You're taunting me with that Strat after I was just blown out of the water on OFAS for one.

Nice Lids.....

I am the only one home so I will have to post "mug" shots later.

....what, you haven't tried the "Douglas" shot yet?

It works great for him, give it a try.

 

[Wayfarer]
