What colour is it? Sage green? or grey? or brown-ish?

Colo(u)r

BK - The color shown in the photos looks accurate to my eyes. If I had to describe the color, I would say it is tan, with a sage green tint.

Here is a link to an identical 6 7/8 version of this hat. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii79/johnnyphi/Johnnyphi%20Fedoras/C0000228882_1.jpg

As we all know, computer screens can distort colors, so I'll defer to Stetson's own description of these hats, as shown in this photo of the label on the box that faithfully protected them for 60 years.

What colour is it? Sage green? or grey? or brown-ish?

If this doesn't include a Stratoliner hatbox, there's one on OFAS for about another day.

 

[GWD]

LOL Thanks Carter.....I need two jobs for this stinking hobby.

[Garrett]

fftopic: Very nice! I need to get me one of em.....did you buy em off OFAS?

 

[barrowjh]

I love that hat box - I have one, and that bold proclamation 'American Manufacture' is stunning.

 

[GWD]

Scared me off with that $150 opening bid...

... sadly I am a 7-3/4 so I'd never wear it, but I thought VERY seriously about buying it just for my Stratoliner memorabilia collection. Wear it in good health!

 

[Zemke Fan]

Can't edit my post in this thread...

... if it WERE a 7-3/4 I would have seen your $150, and raised you another $150!

 

[GWD]

If it were a 7 3/4 I wouldn't have bid but I think the competition would have been alot stiffer.
