Alright, I need to get one of these.
Is there a difference in the current offerings vs the vtg ones?

This is a stiff brim fedora with a relatively stiff crown. Optimo calls this color "Blue Pearl". I'm getting used to wearing this type of hat brim up. Sometimes I wear it with a pinch, the remnants of which you can see in the ripples I haven't fully smoothed out yet.
I really can't wait for cool weather to come back around. By then I should have a bunch of really cool Panama hats that it will be too cold to wear.
Would it have been a good idea to turn the other way to get a better shot of the bow? Why yes, it would have been. Apparently I can't tell my right from my left.

Pretty sure all the woven hemp stratoliners and open roads are all pretty current hats. My oldest hemp stratoliner is maybe 7-8 yrs old

I think that's correct. I even recall, within the last decade or so, a news report about federal legislation or regulations opening up hemp production for things like hats, since growing the plant could be used for, you know, "other" things.

A pre-war Royal Stetson montecristi in remarkable condition, save for missing the little sweatband bow. I wish I were a fly on the wall when the art department brought that logo into the print shop.

Evil spirits?!? No, just some scattered light from the cracked protective glass on my phone.
Stay cool, Dudes, Dudettes!

Simply Fantastic hat!!! Agree about the logo.....there were a couple of companies doing those blue/grey split logos at that time, Mallory was one.
And I think Dobbs also, may have had more....I did not really understand them either.

Capitalising on the morning sunshine, it turned out perceptive. We have had rain in a Biblical torrent since lunchtime.
My Gamble & Gu-nn bespoke hat inspired Tina. She had both the pattern to make the trousers and an almost matching fabric. The shirt has her label on it too, but you guessed that.

Such flattery Joe, thank you. An opportunity for early retirement came up a few months ago, Tina encouraged me to go for it, but added, "I'm not having you turning into a frumpy old man with no dress sense." she keeps me in check.
