$1 Ecuadorian Supernatural at Flea Market
It Would Be Supernatural If this hat is that old, it is truely supernatural that it is so plyable. It is actually softer and more plyable than any other straw hat I've ever seen. I will continue searching for the history of this hat. How about this for a hat manufacturer... A card...- raycharles

New Art Fawcett custom creation
Art, How Do You Do That? If my assumption is correct, that the satisfied customer and Art do not live in the same city and that they did not meet in person, Art, how did you make that hat fit so well? I guess my question is about how to accomplish a fine fit. Very nice hat that was made...- raycharles

Baskins Name Inside the Hat The Baskins name inside the hat band is probably a western wear chain store based out of Livingston, Texas. That is my guess, but they were started in 1972, according to their web site. That sounds reasonable, because this hat is still very plyable and I doubt...- raycharles

New Pics of Hat Next to Ruler Thanks for the cool advertisments RBH. The name is the same, but the style is slightly different. I love finding interesting things at flea markets or yard sales.

I don't know much about hats but as an artist, thought the weave on this particular hat was very nice, so I...- raycharles

I like my hat :) Thanks for the welcome to the forum. A lively discussion is a good thing. I had no clue about this hat but have since seen pictures of movie stars, artists and writers wearing something similar. They were back in the 50's and 60's or before. All I knew when I bought it was that...- raycharles

$1 Ecuadorian Supernatural... More pics... Thanks for the welcome. I'd love to hear more on the history of this hat. What does the Baskin stand for? I added more pics of the brim and used a 6 inch ruler in the pics. I added the red leather band myself. It had no band when I bought it...- raycharles

I don't know anything about hats but I thought this hat had a special weave so I bought it for $1. A few days later, I brought it to a local hat store to have it cleaned and formed. He told me that if this hat was in mint condition it could be worth a lot of money. I asked if he were kidding...- raycharles
