By the by, I like the "West Bound B" from the Fall 17 line. 3 3/4 bound brim....like an old west hat almost. Reminds me a little of Bullock's hat from Deadwood.

There's a wool pork pie called the "Cranston," which seems a little on the nose.

I guess I'm not surprised a more vintage focus left with Deckard. This line doesn't look bad, just not my cup of tea necessarily. Makes sense if they're competing with the Goorins and Worth & Worths of the world, I suppose.

OK, so this wasn't a recent purchase, or you got it off eBay? This is not a modern Stetsonian. Looks like maybe 60s or 70s? Any photos of the sweatband markings?

Nice looking hat, though.

I realize that, but was asked for some shots. I think it's 70's. I bought it a couple of years ago off e bay because I wanted the hat box that came with it. When I got it, it looked as if it was never worn. It fit so I started wearing it and kept it in it's original box, and went on to pick up another box.

Oh well, Could not stand it - ordered a Stetsonian in Caribou.

FED I think you'll be glad you did . The Stetsonian has a 6" Open Crown , 2 5/8" Brim , The New York has the 5 1/2" Open Crown , too low for me , anyway . That is a Bummer . I think the customer base on New Hats just mostly probably being Hipsters that have never worn Hats , and a Taller crown scares them . That's sad , I was hoping they would do what @tommyK said , and go back to the Good Old Days in Quality and Styles like Deckard was encouraging them to do , but ... . Disappointing . He really made a difference while he was there , too bad it looks like they didn't get it . Thus , Adios .

Thanks - these are exactly why I went with the Stetsonian now. Likely the last decent Stetson that I would be happy to wear.
