The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

[John in Covina]

I'm looking for a gray Strat or Open Road to but in a size 22..

***********

Do you mean 22 inches? If so that is a US size 7 or a metric 56.

EBAY, or consider maybe an Akubra Campdraft from an Aussie website.

There are 2 Stratoliners sitting on OFAS now. Both 21" circumference. Both by same seller in Indianopolis.

 

[D00R]

yes i meant 22 inches, yeah 21 inches is to small, and i don't want to stretch it, i like the crown to be a bit big, i'm meticulous..

it's odd i have a Borsalino size 7 3/8 US 7 1/4 UK
bUT when I measured it, the circumference came to 22 inches [huh]

Maybe because its a Euorpean hat, the size runs smaller?

 

[carter]

It may be helpful to invest in a can of ExpandaHat.

 

[D00R]

hrm whats that? couldn't find anything yet on google..

 

[carter]

DOOR,

STOP searching.

That was a joke. :eusa_doh:

ExpandaHat (Expand A Hat) is not a real product.

It's like that stuff you use to focus light around corners. You know, BendaBeam aka BendaRay.

Tho' with one of these:

some of this:

(for the sweat)

& a little of this:

It is possible for you, at home, to return a hat to its original size or to strech a small(er) hat up a size.

 

[D00R]

Out of interest what Borsalino is that?

Not to hijack this thread, but I just watched this strat end on ebay. Anyone else ever seen a Canadian model Standard Stratoliner? Canadian markings, and a ventilated sweatband.

Never seen that before Dman.. looks nice though.

 

[Newteh]

How much did it go for?

I was looked at all results under Stetson and did not find that listing, nice looking hat though.

May I join?

Mine isn't a Stetson, it's a Fawcett. Art made my Stratoliner clone for me earlier this month. It is Natural color in light weight felt. It is as close to the perfect hat as I will ever get.

I apologize for the less than spectacular potography and the hideous hat model.

I guess this is one of the factors that contributes in the skyrocketing bid price on any available Stratoliner in ebay lol lol lol lol and that includes Open Road as well lol lol lol

Here's mine. Love this hat.
