Western, anyone?

@FedOregon , @johnnycanuck Here's one that looks almost like that Stetson. It's a Bailey Beaver 100 with a cow kick front and back, but I like yours better, this one does look like it got kicked by a cow...........

That one looks pretty darn good as well. I would wear it.
What has got my interest in these hats is I have started to read Elmore Leonard - Pronto. For those who don't know its the books the TV show Justified was based off of. In the book it specifically tells you Raylan Givens hat is the kind you see in the photo of Lee Harvy Oswald getting shot. paints a very specific image. Thinking of modifying one of my Stetsons, maybe getting a Campdraft or maybe getting a custom hat made up........ Time to start saving.

Thanks, Raven. The best I can tell on model is from a tag on an identical looking hat from eBay. This one is missing its identification pieces. It says S047 BRAZOS, Granite Grey.

If I recall, your Stagecoach had a feathered hatband that was not original to the hat.
The model is the S047 BRAZOS.

Hmmm. That is interesting. In my limited knowledge I thought it was original to the hat. I found another Stagecoach on eBay that looked identical, albeit in better shape, to mine with the same hat band. That is where that model number came from. It looks identical. Hmmm. That is also why I was hoping to learn more about the Stagecoach line.

I believe it was not original to the hat. None on the catalog pages (well there are only 3) have one.
Some of the Stagecoach hats I got had a feathered hatband that once removed, the original one was there.

It's square and blocky, like an OR or a Stratoliner. If the brim wasn't so stiff with shellac, I'd turn it into an OR with a fedora slant and a downturned front brim.

Looks like a Rancher with a Fort Worth type crease (the kicks) . Profile 01 my favorite .

Michael are there any standards to the depth/ width of the kicks that you know of? The reason I like the Stetson better is that the kicks aren't so deep and wide. Of course it's nothing that can't be changed.

Naw no standards on that , just to your liking . The profile 01 is Stetson's Rancher , El Presidente' , El Patron , 5" crown crease straight sides . My favorite . Fed's Hat just has been brought down and modified .

@Michael R. Thanks, the ones that are almost the same seem to be: San Antonio, Fort Worth and wasn't there a third that was named after a city?

There's the Foreman crease , and I think it was called the Stockyard (probably Fort Worth) or Stockman crease / But there seems to be another named after a city/town but its not coming to me . The same cease can have several names depending on where you're at or from .

 

[Latigo]

@Michael R. Ok, thanks again. I keep thinking there is a third too, but I can't think of it either.

Here are pics of the two hats. I wonder if the feather was placed by the stores selling the hats. Different ones are listed on the hat sweat. Obviously a moot point, but it is curious. I did make one little addition to mine. [emoji6]

@Willebe no telling , but feathered Hat bands got popular with the Country Music folks and that John Revolta movie centered around Gilley's (Micky Gilley) back in the late 70s early 80s .

Probably some were the owners and other the stores.
The one I have seen had hooks to fix them to the hat.

This one was sewed on and I had to cut the thread. As @Michael R. mentioned, it was a fad for some. I, personally, am not a fan of the feathers.

That's a great looking lid just like it is!
