If you take the plunge, you'll love this hat. I picked up the Silverbelly Premier Strat at J.J. Hat Center a few weeks ago and am impressed with the quality and feel of this hat. I have a vintage Open Road as well, great hat and it was much cheaper, however the premier is a fantastic hat that...

My 2 cents to go with the ample amounts of change already on this post. Just purchased a Silverbelly Strat and am impressed with the pounce and feel of this production hat. Not stiff at all, takes a good dry crease, and holds up to some other customs I have. My only gripe is the same I have...

Beautiful hat. Unfortunately the only dark, non black in 7 1/4 I have is a vintage Borsalino with a 2 inch brim (Moss green Chinchilla). If I could stretch out the brim I would as I'm surprised no one has taken you up on this great looking hat!

Hi Russ, sent an e-mail asking about the stains and sweatband. Thanks, Nick

I've been waiting to see that foldable 47 in action, sounds like the perfect travel hat. Thanks to all who are making all these fine lids a reality and I'd love to see some pics from members who pick one up!

Those are some great looking hats sea bass and mrwilmoth, right hat right occasion. I drove to Eugene last weekend to place an order with Mike and he had some truly wonderful creations on hand. There were a couple ready to be mailed out that looked spectacular. Glad to see all these great pics!

Sweet lid vintage68!

TOUten2, that is one great looking hat. Perfect way to start the new year!

It actually is a pretty cool town, more hat wearers here than other places I've lived...definitely a different type of place though.

;) I like your style and your Fed IV sir!

Yeah, I totally agree. Which is why I usually just smile and say "Thank You." That being said, some folks actually do inquire as to what kind of hat it is, which I find pretty neat.

Crazy thing is, I got the same comment from two guys in downtown Portland last weekend with my Penman. They were friendly enough though and sounded like Cheech & Chong, so I let it slide. Don't know what it is with this city!

Yes! Someone else felt the cold chill that is the Green Mountain State

Every year in Vermont felt like it was colder than the last, hated Jan-Feb where it never got above freezing for weeks and seldom above 15-20F. I loved the summers, but glad I moved before this upcoming winter (High of 12F yesterday, high of 10F today and it's only December...)

Good looking conversion BlackMaskPulp, I think the brim width suits based on the photos.
