I think it sits a bit high on my head but a little stretch would correct that. I’m just not to sure about this plantation style. Which is weird as I love the Brent Black Monte Carlo and my Art Fawcett.

I think you should stick with it, Bill. It really does suit you.

Today is take your Texas Hi-Roller to work day. Had to do an estate inspection and roof survey out in the Hill Country. Love these jobs where I can send up the drone. ;)

Looks like you’re in my neck of the Texas Hill Country. I see the Cedar looking over your shoulder. I hope you’ve been enjoying the cooler days and lower humidity. Feels like they’ve just about come to an end. Safe travels.

Early morning excursion in an Adam Pacesetter. "Executive Quality" no less. Advertised as "Aqua Shed." I chose the bright hued felt to brighten a morning when I am feeling fatigued. It brightened my spirits -worked.

I went over to the local coffee shop for some freshly roasted coffee in my Stetson Stratoliner. I thought it would be nice to share the box it resides in. I was sweaty from dog walk, a bit disheveled from carefully shoveling the ashes out of the fire pit by the lake and still unshaven before I went. This hat (and a clean shirt of course) made me public presentable.

Home and cleaning up for the day. I have energy, coffee, shaven and clean - life is good.

Best, Eric -

Both great hats, Eric. I want to see how the Stratoliner fits in that box. I have one of those boxes with no insert in it and it seems just altogether too narrow to fit a hat into.

The brim of the hat folds in and the hat appears like a slightly open clam shell. I keep this hat in the box as the felt is malleable and will flatten out when out of the box. I do like the brim snap and fedora swoop to my Strats. We only have to look to Alan for inspiration for wearing a hat with curved side brim.

I was reading thru the Stratoliner threads this morning to see if I could identify when the "clamshell" boxes were stopped being distributed by Stetson and could not find info. I am not sure if 50's and 60's Stratoliners came in a like box.
