San Antonio Police Homicide Unit Now Wearing Fedoras
Tom, Nick Nolte played a Texas Ranger in a movie called "Extreme Prejudice". That is the only time I have seen an actor playing a modern day Ranger that was dressed properly. The reason Nolte got it right is Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson helped him with the outfit. He even had the correct belt... -
San Antonio Police Homicide Unit Now Wearing Fedoras
Yep! The first time I watched "Walker: Texas Ranger" I only watched a few seconds. When Chuck Norris came out wearing a black hat I changed channels. I decided if they can't get that little detail correct then the rest of the show can't be worth watching. -

Tom, that is a very cool tradition. -
San Antonio Police Homicide Unit Now Wearing Fedoras
This doesn't have anything to do with fedoras but the Texas Ranger dress code requires them to wear a light colored western hat. Black hats are not allowed! -

San Antonio Police Homicide Unit Now Wearing Fedoras
Charlie, I found out about this when one of them stopped me at the courthouse to ask about the hat I was wearing. I was wearing one of Art's hats. Quite a noticeable difference between his Dobbs and one of Art's lightweights! -
San Antonio Police Homicide Unit Now Wearing Fedoras
Here is an article and video I thought everybody might find interesting. The San Antonio Police Department Homicide Unit is now wearing fedoras. From now on it is going to be a tradition and once a new detective solves their first case they will receive a fedora... -

Vintage Hat Ads from Newspapers
Rick, I measured the brim width and it is a tad under 2 5/8" at about 2 9/16". I edited the post because I got the hat out and remeasured it. -

Vintage Hat Ads from Newspapers
I have one of LBJ's Resistol hats and it is a "Wide Country 3X Beaver". This is apparently the hat described in the Resistol ad that Rick posted. Same dimensions as a Resistol San Antonio or a Stetson Open Road. Here are a few pics. -
Shudde Bros. Hatters in Houston
Looks like you did a very nice job on the sweatband. The liner looks like the one Shudde used in the late 50's and early 60's. They did a lot of refurbishing for Stetson. If it is a refurb the original sweatband you removed will have "RENSH" stamped on the back of it. Can you take a picture... -
Seen this yet?
I believe Major Moore at Buckaroo Hatters sells something similar. May even be the same product. -
Clark Kent's fedora
I'm betting on a Whippet. Looks like a clone to Douglas' hat in the first post of the Stetson Whippet thread. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?10081-STETSON-WHIPPET&p=144199&viewfull=1#post144199 -

Post New Hats Here!
Rick, That is a very cool hat! Doesn't get much more Texan than that. A "Rotocycle" was a brush hog made in Waco. A "Maverick" was an unbranded cow named for Texas lawyer Samuel Maverick who refused to brand his cows. Here is Maverick's Wikipedia page... -
Ask a question, get an answer
Rick, I have a Pilgrim Open Road style hat from Sears with the same type of size tag. I think I mistakenly identified that size tag as an Adams hat in another thread when you asked. I believe Lee Hats made them for Sears. Sorry about the confusion. I could have sworn that at one time I had an... -
How do folks react to your hat wearing?
Alan, you are welcome. The livestock show and rodeo is a very big event here that lasts three weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if there were other hat cleaning stations on the rodeo grounds. I'm only familiar with this one gentleman though. I would imagine he does quite well during the three week... -

I would think so but I really don't know for sure. -
HATS WITH HISTORY
Rick, One of the first men I worked for after college was an older gentleman from the WWII generation. He had a Stetson 100 that he wore but he would use the Stetson case as a suitcase when we would travel. Based on the airline baggage tags on yours it looks like Harry may have done the same thing.
