Western, anyone?

Great hat. Wish I knew how you avoid the headrest. I can't wear a 2 1/2 inch brim without it banging all the time and driving me crazy.

Difference in vehicles? I drive a pickup truck & I do have the seat reclined back just a bit for comfort. Same thing with my wife's SUV. It might not be possible to keep from bumping the headrest if you drive a small car.

I have to tip my seat back as well.

Wearing the Resistol Stagecoach Outlaw today. At 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 this is the only hat I've ever worn where the brim will occasionally bump the headrest while driving.

LOVE that crease and hatband.........

Thanks, Hatman. You never know, they're out there. This one fell in my lap when I wasn't looking. I wish you luck.

Here's the Inside Stuff

You can see why I'm not positive about the yr .

I'd go with 1992 over 1972 Michael. Here is an earlier graphic (although mine has no date or size written on the sweat).

I agree with Bob & think that is 1992, Michael. Kevin sold in 1990. Here's mine pics from file:

Hats made by Kevin in Durango are getting hard to find.

Didn't he take on partners in 1992 and then leave at some point after that?

@Hurricane Jack , so Kevin didn't touch mine ? Its still nice either way . The Shop is VERY PROUD of their Hats $$$$

If I ever go back to Western CO I would like to run down to Santa Fe and see what they would make a custom for my noggin for , and get it done . Maybe I'll make it next year .

I don't know all the legalities of the sale. Most Durango retailers who rely on tourism have stores in Santa Fe because business dies in Durango in the winter. I have always heard that Kevin sold the Durango business to locals in 1990. The Santa Fe store may have been under his son's name; that I don't know. Kevin had to train the new owners as part of the sale. I don't know of any plans to manufacture clothing under the O'Farrell name. The last time I was in the Durango store downtown was in 2000. There was no clothing there then.


I believe Perry knows some of this as well.
