I think that will look great on you. Are you going to put some sort of "badge" on it?

I'll just have to wait & see how anything I have would fit size wise. I am a descendent of the Tumlinson family who are one of the "Old 300" who went to settle Texas with Stephen F. Austin, and several were early Texas Rangers.

This is the style of badge some of them would have carried but I have nothing like it, & it's a pin back anyway.

I have a Southern Cross of Honor that was issued around the 50th anniversary of the war but it might be too big & it's a pin back also. I do have a small CSA lapel pin that is a screw back.

Or maybe the grommet will just be there for my 3rd eye.

Nice, Joao.

Thank you Fruno.

Nutria Bama ! Man !

HJ , Crocket's last cabin is like 10 miles or so in Rutherford TN . And my buddy in Abilene said we had family that went down at the mission with the rest . Great history!

I've still got the Gannon's on the way . Thought about the BGGCD , may kick myself not ordering it , too , but I did finally crack and ordered the Woomera I've been pining for . Ships 6-9 days from the order date , and I posted about the sale and the exchange rate down further right after ordering . It's in Sand , and Woomeras have thick felt I know . Looking forward to that one , ought to be fun . The next day , I think , Dinerman had me thinking about the Bush Tucker Somrero man Hat , looking good !

I found and sold one of these to Jimmy the Lid in 2005. Loved the hat and have been looking for one in my size. Finally found one and it's on its way!

Nice, Buler. That seems like it will be a great hat. The arrowhead crease shown in the linked thread is "Da Bomb!"

Congrats! Was that the nutria on Goodwill?

 

[BobHufford]

I think I may be confusing them. There was one that looked somewhat like that, but I think it was 3X. Here is another "ranger" hat that just ended that was nutria.

 

[buler]

It was not that hat.

[alanfgag]

Cool! Will it get a JTL crease?

 

[Epemethius]

That pre -1900 bowler I was waiting for? It arrived looking wonderfully worn and used. The 71/8 does not fit me. it fits my son Josh perfectly. The heck with the cheap trilbys, his is now the coolest dude in town. Some people say he is "developmentally delayed". Meh. He certainly has killer style. I also promised to show him A Clockwork Orange.

I've never been able to crease like Jimmy. But I'll see what the hat tells me....

I bet we could coax him out retirement if the hat calls out for it.

What a fantastically great hat! I can't imagine you see these very often. For the last couple of years I've become more and more enamored of fedoras with a Western feel.
