    Serious about a straw Stetson Stratoliner

    But I have questions. I've always bought fairly cheap straw hats in the past, mainly because .... well, I'm fat and sweat through them pretty quick, so a nice straw fedora always seemed like a bit of a waste. Well, apparently, I've changed my tune on that, because I've decided that I really...

    I'm horrified.

    While surfing the web for hat stuff, I ran across a website dedicated to vintage fedoras, which shall remain nameless. It had a section on "Ideas for used vintage fedoras." Here is their list of suggestions: Really?!? Nail them to a piece of wood?!? Hot glue?!? :eek:

    Dobbs Wool Felt Stingy

    A couple of years ago, my wife bought me this Dobbs wool felt stingy. It's a nice chocolate brown and in pretty good shape. I have no clue on the age, but there are no moth nibbles. Unfortunately, it was badly mislabeled in terms of its size and will never come anywhere close to fitting me...

    SOLD: Mid-Brown Stylemaster, Size 59

    I've got a Mid-Brown Stylemaster, size 59 for sale. I bought this one new about a year ago, if I remember rightly, only to discover that I'm actually a size 60. I've tried several times to stretch it up to a size 60, but it always seems to shrink back up to size 59. So I've decided that I...

    Never mind

    Never mind -- This was a simple mix-up in shipping & I decided to try to resolve this with the seller before trying to trade here. If a mod would like to delete this thread, that would be fine.

    SOLD: Stetsonian -- 7 1/8 -- with box

    I bought this hat on ebay, but it's too small for me. As you can see, it's got a wind trolley and the sweatband is in pretty good shape -- no cracks, and the imprints are still sharp. The hat's old and it's got some issues, but it might make a good refurb or project hat. I've never given a...

    Need some help in identification, please.

    Fellow Loungers, The hat pictured below was my grandfather's dress hat. If I may impose upon you, I would appreciate some help in pinning down its age, and any other information that you may be able to give me on this. I know that it's a Dobbs fur felt. The ribbon is 1 7/8" high, and...

    Akubra Stylemaster

    I mentioned in another thread that I check Everything Australian every day for prices on the Stylemaster, because they change every day (exchange rate). As of today, September 18, 2008, they are at the lowest I've seen them. ~$71, plus shipping. I have no affiliation with Everything...

    An interesting trip to the mall

    This past Saturday, my wife called me at work to see if I wanted to join her for lunch. The meeting that I had arranged for Saturday had fallen through and I didn't really want to work much past lunch, anyway. She and I settled on a Chinese restaurant in our local mall & had lunch. I was...

    Stetson & Resistol?

    I am eagerly awaiting the Resistol that I bought from rmrdaddy & I've also had my eye on several Stetson hats. Today, just out of curiosity, I visited both the Stetson & Resistol websites. The two websites are almost identical, having used the same website design company and even have almost...

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    This ebay auction is now closed, so I don't think this violates the No Live Auction Rule. Bartenders, if I'm wrong, please accept my apologies. I saw this hat on eBay and watched it until it closed. I know it's a Stetson fedora. Does it have a more precise model name than that? It's not...

    Stetson Roadmasters On Sale.

    Having had my question on what is permissible posting here at the Lounge answered, I thought maybe I should start a new thread. The other title wouldn't have gotten the attention of those interested. Anyway, I noticed tonight that Hats Plus is having a sale on Stetson Roadmasters. I don't...

    A question on posting

    I know we're not supposed to post links to active ebay sales that aren't our own, but what about other sales? If we see a hat sale about which we think other FL members might like to know, are we allowed to post that information?

    Starter Hats

    I ran a couple of searched on the forum and the most recent thread that I found on starter hats dated to about 2005, I was not sure which was the greater of evils: resurrecting an obviously dead thread, or starting a new one. Obviously, I chose to start a new thread, rather than resurrect. I...
