    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Thanks for the thorough review, Eric! I can assume you’ll enjoy the Tall Hat, it’s a 9% imperial that is very hop forward and clean finishing. I walked right past it and did a double take because of the graphic, will be a repeat buy for me. All certainly felt right yesterday evening, Spring is...

    Thanks Joe! +1, @MikeinRome and I apologize for being defensive. I’m all for furthering the collective knowledge on here and will welcome any evidence supporting date ranges.

    Derby, Western, Fedora...a Venerable Legend, THE Stetson 3X...BEFORE 1970!!!!

    Riiiiight… thanks? So when you say ‘the only way’ in one post, but then are unsure and can’t find evidence of said claim, then that’s probably a good indication (along with editing posts after being challenged on validity) of what is frustrating for the collective Stetson lovers here. Just saying

    Derby, Western, Fedora...a Venerable Legend, THE Stetson 3X...BEFORE 1970!!!!

    Thanks Daniel, it’s probably my last stab at a 3/8 (I’m a 1/2 LO, comfortably) hat but I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Mike, I’m aware or the change in 1952. My comment was meant to say that all those clues together pointed to 1940s. Regarding your last sentence with the lines only on...

    Derby, Western, Fedora...a Venerable Legend, THE Stetson 3X...BEFORE 1970!!!!

    Thanks Story, you are right though that the 3x beaver logo carried on for several more decades. The roundel with squiggly lines and stars on the crest, along with the wide panel size/block sticker make it a 40’s hat. What was a big surprise for me was to learn that the BRE and KF carried on...

    Derby, Western, Fedora...a Venerable Legend, THE Stetson 3X...BEFORE 1970!!!!

    Here’s a link to the catalog, first page dead center lists the Arminto at $17.50, they were a dollar cheaper in the mid to late 30s.

    Derby, Western, Fedora...a Venerable Legend, THE Stetson 3X...BEFORE 1970!!!!

    It was the price, size tag, and roundel that confirmed 40s me. The nail in the coffin was the $17.50 dead match for an Arminto in the 1944-45 Stockman catalog that Vic posted

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    Loving this late winter weather, perfect for bonfire season. Right Brain ‘Free Play IPA’ with my new to me 3x BREKF Arminto.

    My new daily driver (albeit only after a trim) is a BREKF early/mid 1940’s Arminto. The 3x felt is incredible, and almost as moldable as my 50s 7x’s.

    The Official Stetson Nutria Quality Thread

    Me either, I was hoping it was 30s but it’s definitely early to mid 40s. I’ll post it today in the 3x thread. Here’s the catalog that confirmed the date (along with the size tag and lack of LOT #) https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/western-ranch-outfitters-stockmens-catalogs.51482/post-1854662

    Awesome one Mike, and a block # not commonly seen! I still gotta share my BREKF, though mines about a decade newer than yours. Great find

    Western, anyone?

    I was in for a little over a G on that one, can’t imagine the provenance pushed it that high but maybe? Seems these massive novelty 10 gallons are getting more attention in general, which sucks for us loungers… It is a beaut though!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    1940s Headlight blanket lined chore jacket. Heavily repaired (and faded!) and paired with a Fincks workshirt and modern Carhartt double knee. Will post more detailed pics of the jacket in threads of the past thread

    Vintage neon signs

    That’s a hard neon NOT to love! Had to snag the shirt when wifey and I visited neon graveyard out in Vegas. Pic is from 7 painted towers I think they’re called?

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    Mr. Russell had some epic hats, but this one seems to turn up the most and typically unbashed. Don’t know if it’s because of his style, but I wear almost all my hats OC as well. Still need a pencil curl though!
