Same here, HJ, or 4 even. I have a 7X CB in the same model, a bit later than yours there and it’s probably my favorite model hat.

Smithbilt:
Most unlike the more common wool hats this brand is known for, this Smithbilt has fantastic felt and some of the thinnest western fur felt I’ve handled.

I put a telescoping crown on this one. I'm not diggin' the leather band. There is evidence of a grosgrain ribbon from a prior life.

You wear these big Westerns as well as you do the stingy brim Pork Pies Rick. Knowing your penchant for Native "bling", might I suggest a silver/turquoise band? Or horse-hair ...

I suspect that when you go to Vegas you only play the high numbers or low numbers, nothing in the middle

Hi Rick
I haven't seen many telescoping crowns with anything informal like a horsehair band, beads, or Quigley like leather bands. Your more formal band, or a 1 inch plus ribbon would be a good match. IN MY OPINION... The hat size etc fits you.

Can't beat a bit of Merle, Jack.
That second dose of Moderna will help a whole lot once the side effects have worn off.

I went to "Like" HJ's original post, got a message that basically said I wasn't allowed to do that, and now the post has disappeared completely. What the heck?
