Nice buy.
Did that last month... not proud of my weakness but you never know when another one appears.I know, tommyK. Once in a while ya just have ta do it.
I don't know how GSP calculator works as I cannot use it (not in the US). I have payed $60 for a 14x14x14 box, payed $30 for a 18x18x12 box and someone asked me $90 for a western hat box. Don't know if any of those sellers made a mistakeYes Ebay i note is trying to get me to open up to sell overseas but I won't due to scams that are showing up and two the shipping calculate is just Way off.
Nice one! Almost like my Stagecoach ribbon.
Now that you mention it, I do believe you are probably correct. Given the relatively recent vintage of the sweatband, I would guess that Neil Shudde probably did this one, rather than his Dad, Weldon. Funny that the hat would have been refurbished here in Houston, ended up in Maryland, just to be brought back to Houston Given that, It's not that much of a surprise that it fits, it seems like it was fate The felt is a little stiffer than most vintage fedora's but nowhere near modern "western weight" I wonder if the brim was bound and the new mid ribbon added as a new part of the refurb, or if it was replacing similar original features. That we may never know.
I may have to take this one over to Neil's new store and see if he remembers it.
lol You want the wide ones too? How are the Disney's hats? Have tried for one yet.The brim on that Disney is too short for me.

Very nice additions!
