But those aside, my regular line up during the felt months is:

O'Farrell "Heaven's Gate" Western Fedora
O'Farrell "Quigley"
Rand "Tom Horn"
Rand "Drover"
Akubra "Territory"
Akubra "Camp Draft"
Akubra "Drover" (70's era)
Thomas Hirt Custom Drover style
Stetson Dune
Stetson Cattleman (60's era)
Stetson Catera


oops that 11

2 Nutria's & a 7XCB, a San Antonio & a Plains. Wow, Scott, not even counting the 25 & two 3X's! Nice Top Ten!

Thanks Jack. I remember your list was very impressive.

No particular order here and I'm a little late to the party on this thread, but maybe this will give it a jump start for others.

Great lineup, Scott. A couple I forgot you had.

Time to reevaluate my top ten. I can't see this list changing much in future, because I have been very lucky and found my grail hats.
Finding the first two was just a dream, especially the MacLachlan, because I wasn't really sure it existed.


Most of these weren't on the list when I last contributed to this thread.

1. Stetson Ermine. I haven't seen the equal to this felt in density, strenght, and hand.
Weirdly thin.

Max; You have me at number 1. This is just a gorgeous hat. The pics convey the excellent felt quality. This hat is truly special. Congrats sir. Hats of this quality cover #1-10 IMO.

Thanks for sharing this and the other hats of your very special hat collection sir. Cheers, Eric -

Thank you for sharing these, Max. Anyone who likes hats is going to like them all. For me, 1, 3, and 10 evoke more visceral responses. Beautiful hats all.
