Just got my Skyline 250th Edition today. Very happy with it. I have the normal skyline that one is the chocolate brown I got this one in black. The brim is just a little bigger and shaped slightly different on this one. Leather sweatband is a little rougher finish than my other Stetsons but no big issues with it.

Vintage Stetson Roadrunner, I’m guessing 70s/80s. Huge crown and brim, bent kinda funny, but good online find. Thoughts?

Hey yall! Found this Stetson on marketplace. I think it’s a Skyline but I’m not 100% sure. It says it’s 10x and it was priced at $199, (I didn’t pay $199) however I do think it’s a bit older. Can anyone ID it for me? Sorry for the selfie but there’s no other way to show it on my head 🤣

Hey buddies
The newbie again…
I was wearing my new hat on the way to office today. Got to think what is the usual practice- wear in office or not??
Many thoughts are being made in elevators 😂😂😂

Hey guys which has mmmm

Does anyone happen to know any information about this hat? If been told a couple different things, trying to figure out maybe how old it is, maybe possible value.

Thank you

Spontaneously picked up my first cowboy hat at a thrift store in Austin, TX. Since this is my first hat and I plan to use it for a variety of purposes such as (yard work and concerts/festivals mostly).

In all, is this a considered a good quality hat?
What does the 6x represent?
And what is the best way to clean a cowboy hat?

Wearing my American Hat 7x in a black 🖤

Hello! So I was looking at an online shop and I came across this guy who is selling this Stetson for a 100 euros, unfortunately it isn't my size, but it is interesting anyways.

Guy says that it comes from the 60s to 70s, the label clearly says Stetson but look at the other label, for what I could read it says Wecke & Voigts Grooftfontein or something like that, there's no Xs that I see and the guy says that it is made of beaver or partially beaver.

Where could this hat come from? Is it an old quality hat or is it more on the cheap side? I know that there's guys in here that are pretty acknowledgeable about the history of cowboy hats so I am sure you know something about this one.

Anyways, God bless! I'll be reading the comments

The more I wear palm straw while working the property, the more I’m liking it over any other straw. It absorbs the sweat better and I can dunk it in water and throw it back on to stay cool. Yes it’s a little heavier than shantung et al, but I feel way more comfortable using it than any other one. I stuck a turkey feather I found awhile ago in it as well. And the Ariat branded one is surprisingly sturdy.

New hat today. Custom 60X silverbelly. Feels even better than my 40x AHC Natural.

I've seen a few hats near me that say they are 80s style hats with tall crowns that I really like, but they are not in my size. What is this shape called with the tall crown in the front and shorter in the back?

Had been wanting to buy a hat for a long time now. First didn’t know if I wanted a straw or felt hat. After I decided on the felt I didn’t know how I’d like it to be shaped. I watched a lot of videos and I really liked the coffin shape. With it being my first hat what are some tips on cleaning and storing the hat.
