Just got this lovely vintage 1930s Stetson in the mail yesterday, got it off Alan. Almost flat (which is my preference for a 3" brim) but it's got a subtle curve up and I'm going to leave it as is for now because I'm kind of digging it.

I'm in love already. A tad tight but I think once it shapes to my head we'll be in business.

Michael, how do you find the donegal tweed in terms of durability? Some say that the pants wear out quickly.

I'm not seeing any wear on these, Peter. I can't say anything about it's wear history, but I'm pretty sure it dates to the early 50s and no wear is evident. I was worried it would be snag prone as it's loosely woven and the yarns are very low twist, but, knock on wood, it hasn't happened yet. I might shy away from wearing it on my bicycle, much as I would like to, in fear of shining the pants seat. As it is, I expect it to outlast me.
