FT / FS: Modern Stetson Open Road, Size 7 1/2
I am now open to selling this OR because I am seriously doubting my ability to recrease the crown. I've read through the conversion threads and I'm just not convinced I can do this without seriously injuring the hat. lol
I got this on eBay for...
Thanks. I just figured this OR might be better off with someone who appreciates the cattleman crease. If I don't get to trade it, I will attempt to recrease the crown.
Here is a modern Stetson Open Road Silverbelly size 7 1/2. I won this on eBay 2 weeks ago. The stickers on the box and inside the hat say it's from Meyer the Hatter. Looks like it was originally purchased Feb 2006.
Nothing wrong with this OR. I just don't think the cattleman crease is for me...
As I mentioned earlier, I have received some nice compliments... or perhaps they were just being polite. lol
A reshaped crown might make a difference but I don't even want to try on this one.
Thanks! It's not tight around the head so the size is good on me. The cattleman crease just doesn't allow my head to go in any further... I guess I have too much head above my ears. :eeek:
Then again, I guess this is how it is supposed to be worn based on the other pics on this thread. I...
Here are some pictures of the OR I picked up last week. I've received some nice compliments from friends but I am not entirely sold on it yet. It sits a little too high on my head with the current crease (too much space I see between my ears and the brim). Will try it out for a few more days. If...
Finally won a modern OR on eBay last week and I got it today. Stickers on the box and inside the hat say it's from Meyer the Hatter. Looks like it was originally purchased Feb 2006. Though my original intention was to try my hands at reshaping the crown, I have decided to hold off and wear it as...
I asked the seller about the its condition. He replied, "No moth bites but the hat has been in a home with various smells in the air. It isn't new, so I can't promise you it will smell like a new car. However, I will make sure it has been aired out and have people test it with their noses before...
BTW, there are a couple of vintage OR/CD types in my size on the classifieds but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger because they may be better off with a collector than with me since my primary purpose for now is to use it rather than preserve it.
Size 60...
Been waiting for a Glen Grey CD on the classifieds. I saw one sold a few weeks before I signed up here. I actually started out by looking for a Fed IV but eventually realized the CD meets more of my everyday requirements.
I was actually thinking of getting a second one which would be my beater. Seems like Akubra is a favorite here and I've been waiting for one in the classifieds. Thanks!
Initially, it was the whole vintage vs modern Stetson that had me worried if mine would hold up in the rain. However, you are probably right that the hat being 'new' to me that is still holding me back.
I've had my Royal Stetson for 2 weeks. I don't know how old it is but it was in mint condition from eBay. I bought it for the purpose of keeping my head dry. It's been raining for a week and I can't get myself to wear it outside. What's wrong with me?
