Just got done working on this rose colored round up, found it on Craigslist and got it done up for my girl. Added a blue jay feather just for kicks

@AlexTheApache Snow in Texas?!! Nice!

Well Gents after reading the Teardrop Workshop..

http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/teardrop-workshop.38228/

I thought I would try it myself. The infamous brownish green hat being the one to try it on.
The first picture is the one from ebay when I bought it...doesn't look green does it?
Second picture is after with flash and third is without flash and you can see it's true color.

Well....what do you think?...

Sure is Bob, glad you like it.... I make a fuss about it being green but it's kind of growing on me. I call it my "Alpine" hat. :)

I think it looks good.
The color it all depends on cameras, color balance and light.

Looks the same. Marked 3X?

Yeah ... the color can vary quite a bit. The first is what it looked like on the auction site (I bought it with two Akubra Cattleman hats as a lot). The second is more realistic.

@BobHufford Yes, it's a 3x, got to be the same hat! Nice transformation you did on yours too!
@Joao Encarnado Your right and I think these pictures really show the changes with different lighting..

@AlexTheApache I love American Hat Company too. It's my favorite, though most of them are Resistol and a Stetson or two. I wear a long oval and Resistol and American come that way as a standard but Stetson's are regular oval as standard. Stetson did make LO but you have to find one marked that way. I have used a LO stretcher to make a regular oval fit but it's a hassle.

I lived in Ft. Worth many years ago and it did snow there ONCE! Gone the next day...


Thanks everyone for your replies!

I had one of those "greenish" colored Hats years ago . I thought it was a Stetson , but I can't recall . The guts including the sweat came out , and it disappeared before I could get it back from the Ex's . I liked the color . I think it was from the late 70s , maybe early 80s .

@Latigo my favorite American (non grizzly at least) is my 20x in black. Just a classic black cowboy hat I wear for most formal events. My beater black hat is a Resistol Black gold. . I also really like the original yellow boxes Americans used to come in.
Never owned an American Hat. I have several Resistols, Stetsons, Akubra, custom made...
I used to wear a Resistol Black Gold every day, very nice felt but since I discovered the taller crowns I put it aside. I even have a Resistol Brown Gold.

My only greenish hat is a Stetson-Winchester 3x beaver. It's the one you could buy with a Winchester rifle.

That's Cool Joao . I know Marlboro had a thing that you could enter several years ago , I think Marlboro Man something , and you could win a Marlboro Man Stetson . They gave several away . The grand prize winner won a trip to Montana , Stetson , and everything . I can't recall how many Stetsons they gave as prizes . I saw a guy on Ebay selling one , he won the grand prize . I think he was from Tennessee somewhere . I can't remember if the Hat was a 4X or what .

I've seen something like "Marlboro Stetson" on ebay but never knew the connection.
I thought it was something like my Resistol-Staples.
