Great hat Mark!Here is a new one to me......a Trail Blazer....styled by Peters, Tyler, Texas. Originally sold by The Corral, Tyler, Texas. Awsome dark olive green (od) in a nice felt only slightly "western stiff". A 3 1/8 inch brim, about 5 5/8 crown (4 3/8 fron as creased). Do not know much about this one other than I really like the flatter brim (flanged much like an OR) and the hand of the felt. Love the red liner....and the crease.......has a really nice roan sweat. This was not a cheap hat. It WILL get head time this fall!!!
Be sure to chime in if you know anything about the apparently private label?

PS it came to me fairly dusty and had a dime size tan spot on the crown (NOT now!).

I like what you have done to it DD!I have been reshaping my Thoroughbred to a crease more fitting my taste. The brim was stiff as a board, but eventually succumbed to the steam. The felt is dense with a nice finish. This has a slight flange to the brim, which became more obvious as I flattened the brim. And I I like the red liner!

I sold my Fred Bear recurve a long time ago but still have the Ben Pearson that was my dad's.
I don't have any Bears but do have one Ben Pearson. My best one is a 1963 Howatt Ventura.
When I sold my Fred Bear it was to finance a new compound. If I had known I would someday find my dad's Ben Pearson in the back of a closet after his passing, I would have never sold the Bear.
Cool!!

Don't think I've seen Fred without his fedora. I like like your analogy! They feel so good in hand also!
Then why even respond to this thread?Bows are cheaper and easier to get rid of when you no longer want them; although, to be fair their curves don’t get the same reaction from me.

I'm not monitoring anything. I am involved. I was involved in the conversation before your post. I've reread it again this morning and fail to see where it adds to the conversation. But that doesn't seem to be among the criteria anymore anyway.
My post you refer to was posted in the appropriate long running thread.
Oh, I'm not worried about your responses. By pointing out the Facebook aspects that have become so common I'm offering an explanation as to why many knowledgeable posters no longer post. You yourself have commented on posters not returning. The Facebook mentality is diluting the gene pool.
Since it’s National Cowboy Day, what better day to throw this one in.
