Well , my new Stetson Amish just arrived . The hat fits just right at 73/4 ! That is strange. All my Stetson hats are 71/2 and they fit just right. I expected this hat to be loose . The one thing that shocked me was the sweat band is not leather. A first for me. All my stetsons have leather...
How about this. I was told the first hat Stetson made for the West was called "The Boss of the Plains" and that hat was shaped and sold exactly like the Amish! I think I'll do a little research of my own on the history of Stetson .
I just found the hat while checking out Stetson hats online. I would say the hat is a mix of Amish and cowboy styles . Stetson actually describes it as a cowboy hat , and calls it the Amish II . I think it is a nice mix. I really like it. The hat is also available with wider brim sizes and a...
Comments on my new Stetson Amish II
I am really excited about my new Stetson Amish II Buffalo fur felt 4X in black that is on the way from Hatcountry in PA . I have been wanting a high round crown hat with flat brim. It may be a little big for me at 73/4 , but my 71/2 Stetsons are just right...
I almost came home with that black alessandria today. If the price was a little less, the hat would be sitting next to me right now. I was checking out the Borsalino hats today in a very nice shop on 5th Ave in NYC . It would be my first Borsalino. Man, I really did like that hat. And it liked...
I had it on before the UPS man left the front of the house. Well, here is the official review. I'm in love. She's a beauty. The fit is just right, not too tight and not loose. The felt is very nice and it is just right for me, not too soft and not too stiff. The brim is about 25/8 and not the...
Optimo... a class act
I checked out Optimo before, to get some pricing on repairs, but tonight I did the whole tour.I am very happy to be sending my hat to such a great hat shop.
Thanks I get a lot of compliments from people when I am out and about. I am going for a full tune up when I send it to Chicago. There were a lot of people bidding on this one. I lucked out, and won by a penny.
Yes, I am preparing myself for that reality. Since I got the hat I have been wearing it every day and I'm finding little pieces of sweatband That are falling out. Maybe I can at least get band that has the Stetson label on it.
Thanks seabass. I won this one on ebay but I wasn't sure about the color when the bidding was on. When the hat arrived I was quite pleased. The sweat band wasn't to bad, but when I put a piece of the hat tape behind the front of the band, she broke loose.If i must replace the band, maybe i can...
Well, it is a done deal. I ordered my Roadster yesterday from HatsPlus. The ladies were very, very nice. I went with the walnut ,and it was also available in black. Since I bought the hat for myself ,my fathers day option is still open. The black Stratoliner looks pretty sweet.
I want to get my Royal Stetson repaired, but I really like the original sweatband with the "Royal Stetson" printed on it in gold. Maybe I can save the band.
That is the one that has me worried. How can a hat be sold with the Stetson name on it that can't be worn in the rain? They must have a huge return department.
I'm listening and learning. But I still like that Roadster, and my wife likes it too. The Village has it listed for 155.00 but my size is (of course) out of stock. But Hats Plus in chicago has the hat in my size 71/2 for 185.00.
Very nice hat indeed. I would definitely trim the brim. I will surely give it some thought. As far as the Roadster, it is not discontinued, and will be available in mid June.
