The oldest thing I own is a Granite hitching post from the house I lived in until I was 5. It was built in the 1750s near Germantown outside of Philadelphia. Rumor had it that Lafayette had stopped and spent the night there on his way to General Washington's headquarters in Germantown. Around...

I haven't read through all the posts so excuse me if this has been said already but... A gentleman I work with once worked for Boleman hats, He says that Stetson has not made many, if any of their own hats for years (All contract work) and that Boleman made a number of styles for them when he...

Bad weather expected here again today, here is my trusty snow hat, A stetson Pony express.

Good Morning ! I won a Stetson "Sovereign" with the Luxuro Finish on Ebay this weekend. How durable to the weather is this finish? Is it a fair weather hat only? I have another Stetson Pony Express that I generally wear for rain and snow days but I believe this will be a favorite hat and I...

As part of my 50th birthday celebration in April I will be making my fourth trek through the Grand Canyon, of course this means a couple of days in Vegas afterwards. Vegas has so much history in the "golden era" I wonder what is there to see? I've done all the typical new strip stuff and this...

Back in the mid 90s I won a radio contest and the grand prize was a ride in a Red Baron Pizza Stearman Bi-plane! got to do all the tricks ! loop de loos, barrel roll, stahl, etc. It was a fantastic experience that is still at the top of my most incredible life event list.

People still laugh at me because I listen to AM, but that is where all the old and independent artists are. We have two really good ones here in south central PA 1000 & 1510 on the dial. I lived in Pittsburgh for 6 years in the early 2000s and there was a good one around 1350 on the dial, they...

One of the Side vintage TV channels (i have an antenna) showed a movie about the DGR&W this weekend, I wanted to watch it but got too busy. I visited the DRG&W RR in 1981 with my father as part of the NRHS convention that took place in Denver that year. It was GREAT! we even had a derailment...

Great reading fellow adventurers! This spring I will be heading back for my fourth time to the Grand Canyon! This will be for my 50th birthday. Can't say I use anything vintage but this will be the first year I will be wearing a straw Fedora or cowboy hat instead of a ball cap. I've been...

I just won a Stetson straw stallion on eBay for less than $20 not for anything fancy but looks unworn. Need it for the pool, beach, and my spring trip to the grand canyon.

Is anyone bidding on a Winchester Stetson in the box? I don't want to run it up if you want it more.

But Santa Claus is real, he exists inside each one of us. However I feel your pain. I have a 4 and 5 year old that have noticed that some presents come from Santa and some are given by others? I want them to believe in the magic as long as possible and will avoid any extended family member...

Newbie here! Hello! Newbie here, been on a hat buying binge for about the last two years since i realized i need a hat for daily ware and not just a weekend ball cap. Got this Stetson Challenger 3X Beaver for $49 delivered. Not sure if it was a great deal but it was exactly what I wanted to...
