    Stetson Stratoliner Premier Open Crown

    Thank you. Most of my hats are of the lighter colors and the few darker felts I have handled did not bleed all over my hands... well at least not as much as this one did. And that is good advice about having separate brushes and sponges for dark and light felts.

    Stetson Stratoliner Premier Open Crown

    I fairly recently received a Premier Strat open crown in the sage color. I like the color and the contrasting brown/copper binding. The sweatband and liner seem to be a little off-centered (see photos), but it didn't bother me enough to send it back. Question - when I steamed the crown to bash...

    Resistol LBJ & Resistol Lyndon B. Hats

    The store at the LBJ Library bills the hat as "LBJ's Open Road Resistol Hat." https://www.lbjstore.com/all-the-way-with-lbj-lbjs-open-road-resistol-hat.html By the way, the Johnson family friend I consulted with was the son of the architect of the LBJ Library.

    Resistol LBJ & Resistol Lyndon B. Hats

    I don't have any information or documentation about Resistol's "LBJ" or "Lyndon B." models. I imagine they were based on Resistol's "San Antonio," but again I have no direct evidence of such. On a side note, I was able to discuss the Resistol/Stetson question with a long-time family friend of...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    DH, you are correct; these guys do give some good information, particularly in the other hat videos on their channel. The host's hat does look like it is about two sizes too small. Silver Wolf, I recall seeing the term "bash" when I first started reading posts on this forum, over 13 years...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Hat vocabulary: I just watched a video on the YouTube "Gentleman's Gazette" channel, in which the host says the top of the hat is known as the "pinch," also known as the "crease." starting at 1:32. My understanding is that the "crease" is the pattern on the top of the crown, being a...
