Beautiful Lid Amazing Bamboo Fedoralover, I can understand covering up the stain with a wider ribbon, but I can't figure out how you grow Bamboo in the Great Northwest... seems like totally the wrong climate.:eusa_doh: Nice jungle hat !!!

gimmesomeshelter... I have 5 kids... 3 girls and 2 boys ranging from 16 to 9. Since I started wearing fedoras and more specifically since I've purchased several via ebay auctions resulting in a few being slightly TOO Small (which I then give to them)... both of my sons think they're cool...

I also find this interesting... It's a Resistol, not a Stetson.... Hmmm. I guess this would make sense in that He was a Texan... Quote: E.R. Byer sold his company in the early 1920's in Michigan and traveled south to further his fortune. He decided to invest in a hat maker named, Harry...

Beautiful Stetsonian Matt !! You can bet it was being eyed Lustily by a few of us fat heads... drooling with envy as you rightfully took advantage. It's a beaut, and honestly, not a bad price either. Luck You !! ENJOY !!:eusa_clap

$15 is a fantastic deal !! Naltak, Had that lid been a 7 3/8 or larger the goin' price coulda woulda easily been 50, 60 bucks....maybe even more. You got a fantastic deal. Enjoy and wear it in the best of health !!

Kind of what I was wondering.... Could I do it? Could I just put a dab with a glue stick on the ribbon and hold the bow in place for a minute? Or, Do I need to find a skilled Hat Doctor to re-attach....? Obviously I don't want to deminish the quality of the hat any... Thanks for sharing...

I have a Borsalino that I was Steaming slightly in an effort to work out a crease near the top of the Crown. While working on it I discovered that the RIBBON is detached :rage: where the bow contacts the leading edge of the ribbon, but only at the very top. At the bottom, closest to the brim it...

snrbfshn Disney Comment... snrbfshn, or any of the rests of ya..., The comment about disney hats, or should I say Mr. Disney hats reminds me that I had this question lurking in the back of my brain... Was Mr. Disney Hats a individual Hat Manufacturer or were they a sub-product of the likes...

I thought the Cheyenne looked good on Art's WebSite... Actually seeing it in relationship to a person's features makes me covet one all the more !!! Luck you !!! Modern Vintage; Vintage Craftsmanship in a Modern Lid... Vintage Art, in a Modern Fedora... I can't describe it, but I know I like...

Folded Ribbon Treatment... I have two older gray Adam Fedoras with this ribbon style... Yours is the only Stetson I've even seen with it. Over all... very nice lid, and no moth holes !! At a great price to boot. You won't be running into anyone else with one like it...

Dusty what can I say.... that you don't already know? That is a truly awesome "BLUE" OR !!! And looking at the pictures you've posted to share with us... it looks like it was made yesterday; it looks brand new. That shot of the sweatband where it says "OPEN ROAD"...not a sweat mark to be...

Tony, Dusty, notice the ribbon on that 100... ... doesn't even have the cool ribbon treatment your Royal Deluxe Strats have... weird, you'd think it'd have a very nice ribbon treatment, go figure?

Very Nice OR... RBH, I'd say you got a decent deal on a very very clean vintage OR. Under one crispy C note, and it's yours for years to come... as investments go, I'd say you bought low !!
