    I love the Fed IV!!

    I like my Fed IV but I was disappointed with the height of the crown. I can't do a proper diamond bash on a Fed IV without it looking short on top like a 50s small crown hat. I do not believe the profile is based on a 1920s hat block like they claim. The sadly discontinued Stetson Stetsonian...

    The Stratoliner Association {Premiere}

    I had to hunt high and low for mine. I seem to have gotten the last one available in my size.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello, everyone. I've posted here a few times and I'd like to introduce myself. My username comes from my favorite guitar amp, a 1960 Fender Bassman. I like things that last, things that are made well, and things that transcend temporary fashion trends. I like anything that is cool. I'm a blues...

    The Diamond Authority

    The coolest diamond crease I've ever seen. Frank Sinatra, from the film "Suddenly" (1954)

    The Stratoliner Association {Premiere}

    I found an original pin for my Premiere Stratoliner. It was listed as a lapel pin! For once I got lucky. Not lucky enough to have a small head so I can wear an original Stratoliner, but....

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I'm so happy! I finally found a new-old-stock caribou Stetsonian in my size (7 3/4)! My tawny Stetsonian was clearly a 2nd but this one is flawless. Sadly I must wait until Christmas night to put a diamond bash on it, but I have something to look forward to.

    Stetson Stratoliner Premier Open Crown

    I just bought one of the open crown Premiers, perhaps the last one available on the internet in my slightly larger than 7 3/4 size. Thankfully it was sized a bit large. It's not stiff at all; it's the softest hat I own and it was a bit of a challenge to get it to accept a bash. I was going for a...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I want a 30s-style tall, non-tapered crown fedora. Stetson doesn't seem to keep one in production for my big 7 3/4 head. Is the Federation IV my best solution?

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    I'd like to say hello. Like many others, I've always admired the style and panache of men who wore fedoras. I'm 50 and I want to dress like a man. I no longer want to go out in public wearing shorts, t-shirts, or ball caps. Sadly, I'm cursed with a giant 7 3/4 head, which means I can't find...

    Miller Hats - no longer decent quality?

    I ordered their Sinatra fedora. Made in Canada. High quality, though a bit stiff
