Cavalry hat band, don't know about the hat

 

[deadlyhandsome]

Can anyone tell me what kinda hat this is? I saw this in a YouTube interview. View attachment 502165

Could one of many hats. Nothing that I can see that is specific to any singular hat I’m familiar with. A lot depends on the size of the hat, but it looks to have a wider brim than the Open Road you were looking at.

Thanks, Joe. One of my largest brims. Makes me feel a bit like @Yahoody or @Joao Encarnado
I sure miss working with Rick.

I have sent a few personal emails to Rick but have not received replies. I trust he is okay and just busy with his next project. I miss him as well.

He’s a good friend and very generous. I too hope he is well and enjoying life.

1930s "Big Bill". 7" crown, 4-3/8" brim. Kid/calf leather band with jeweled, plastic "ornaments". Appears to be fur felt and not wool, but I could be mistaken.

Not sure if that is a beaver in the logo or a beaver / bobcat cross.

Hats with similar bands (although still in one piece).

Maybe it's a reference to big bill Haywood the wobbly?

Maybe so ...

Can anyone tell me what kinda hat this is? I saw this in a YouTube interview.

From the photo, the dimensions look very similar to a Stetson Range.

Bob's hat is too cool for words! I have nothing to compare.....my hat is from 50 years later.......I just re-worked my Stetson circa 1980 4X to a sort of modified horseshoe (or horse foot when you look at the middle of it). 4 3/4" front, 4 1/4" in back. Flat brim.

One of my favorites, a vintage Vaniza Farmer that was completely rebuilt by Wolfbrae Custom Hatters:

A very nice hat, and one which will double as a birdbath in a hard rain.
