OK, I like all of them, you keep saying it was a good deal and I'm sure it was but you should tell us how good, make us all jealous.Thanks guys . I usually ask questions , but it was a good deal I couldn't pass up , so I jumped .

I'll take another run at those pictures.
Thanks David, I was just starting to research it when I saw your post. It looks like it will need blocking and flanging so I might just take it up to Ft. Worth instead of to TX Hatters in Lockhart. This one is a Stetson Royal Deluxe sold at Washer Bros. Even though it's a Stetson the design was apparently a collaboration between Amon Carter, Tom Peters and Stetson. It would have been nice to have gotten one of the Peters Bros Banker Specials but I think I'll be happy with it.Fantastic, Richard.
I was actually chatting with Brad Peters at the Fort Worth Stock Show this weekend - his company had a booth there. Chances are that his grandfather (or maybe even great-grandfather) made or worked on your hat at the Peters Bros store, a short walk from where we live.
There are some other examples of the hats here: https://vintagehaberdashers.com/tag/shady-oak/
I’ve never successfully found a Shady Oak - I’m inspired to look harder now.
I snagged two Peters Bros Shady Oaks last year. Posted them in the Peters Bros thread. They are currently out to Art Fawcett. I am having the work Peters Bros did redone/fixed.Thanks David, I was just starting to research it when I saw your post.

I also think it would be dangerous for me to live a short walk from a hatter like Peter Bros.
Thanks for the heads up Bill, that is disappointing to hear.I snagged two Peters Bros Shady Oaks last year. Posted them in the Peters Bros thread. They are currently out to Art Fawcett. I am having the work Peters Bros did redone/fixed.

It will be very interesting to see your hat when they finish. I live about 30 minuets from Peters Bros and would love to use them for sweatband and ribbon work. But right now I just couldn’t justify it. I bought a hemp from them earlier last year and absolutely love it. When Shane left it seems that the talent left.
