That liner is so pristine I thought it was a modern Stetson.A simple old Stetson "Aristocrat" in Standard Quality. Not as old as the 1925 ad - late 1930s on this one. The $8.00 price has been nibbled down to $7.50 by the depression. Note the wind cord button stitched through the bow with removable loop that affixes to a coat button rather than a buttonhole... a subtle twist that appeared with Stetson c.1940 and then disappeared as quickly. One of many Kleinhans sold hats that I've purchased from points far from home.
Thanks Anthony. It's a little outside of my usual bailiwick, but I've gotten a lot of compliments on the Carhartt. And the old Red Wing Logger's. And even a few on the Stetson. Ha ha.
Brent, I have one with a cloth sweat. I find the sweat comfortable to wear, but the hat is fairly warm for a milan. I wear it often in the woods, as Bob does, while mushrooming and I've sweated up the ribbon pretty well. There is a moisture barrier behind the cloth sweat, but it's not a cure all.
Mine is the trooper or ranger style, but i assume it's the same milan. It's also a sort of mid brown with a golden brown ribbon. The sweating is only evident on the ribbon. In truth, I think I prefer the cloth sweat for hats that get hard wear. I regularly cook out leather sweats. Maybe my head runs hotter and wetter than the usual. Ha ha.Thank you Michael. I might change out the sweat for leather. I don’t mind wiping the hat with a kerchief. All I could find was a dark brown so maybe the stains wouldn’t be too obvious? I’ll keep looking for other colors as well.
