I like the look of the old crease (17637) better ...

Haha! Not surprising around here. I liked the original crease too, in the abstract, but it just seemed too dressy for my casual wardrobe. I think it needed a little skewing. I am so not cool enough to wear it with the original crease in jeans and white T-shirts!
I promise I'll give the original a good whirl again-- maybe tomorrow! Let's see how this modern felt holds up under pressure.

Good! I relieved that my comment found a happy home.

I don't know, Jeff - I'd say that the original crease would be fine with your casual clothes. I'd be another vote for a back ribbon as well!

Imperial Ultimate?! That's really very funny ... lol

In all my browsing on the Lounge, I've never seen "Imperial Ultimate" on a hat. It must mean something! Did Stetson have an Imperial quality felt that could be done with an Ultimate finish?
I'm at a loss.

Just picked this up off of Craig s' List, new Royal Stetson 2 3/8 brim, 1 1/4" ribbon, it says the color is bark but it looks olive green to me. Not vintage but I don't find many 7 3/4 size hats let alone in this unique color

@pjt113: Sharp! Great find. Not a whole lot of things you *couldn't* wear that with :eusa_clap

I would say you did well. They retail for more than twice that. Good deal.:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Barbisio Sportex.

Sweat is a bit rough in the back but nothing uncomfortable to wear.

Turned out nicely. Logo perhaps associated with the 1960 Rome Olympics?

Thanks, Robert. I was able to remove the stain completely, the tedious part was sewing back the the sweatband I had to remove to stretch it from the original 7 to the 7 1/8 and re-blocking the body to that number. I thought the same thing about the logo. This one is light and short crowned but I'm comfortable wearing it. And, of course, it's gray. Argento, actually (silver)

Last but not least, I bought this modern Stetson milan Stratoliner to wear as a I don't-care-what-happens-to-it hat. Quite nice and soft, to my surprise. I was expecting a helmet. Out of respect for the TWA pin, I removed the cheap version they put.
