Today’s haul from Goodwill! I need another western 3X Stetson like another hole in my head but couldn’t resist.

Someone has to buy them. If they don't sell they're put on a truck to McAllen where they're sold by the hundredweight for God knows what use. So, you've done the world a service by buying it.

Nice one Richard! I think Terry Jones has one and raves about the felt quality. Your thoughts?
I like everything about this hat Jack. The felt has a really fine hand, soft and smooth to the touch and for a western weight it shapes easily. It had a crooked cattleman crease and the brim was all whomper-jawed when I got it and it too about 30 minutes with a block and steam to get it to look like it does now. Of my westerns the felt is better than my '60s Number 1 but not as good a hand as my '50s Nutria Quality. Terry @TJones and I have discussed it and I think we have about the same opinion of the older Bradford felt.

Back from the grocery trip now and going out on a bus/walk soon. I think a cap with earflaps and long coat will be in order.

Have a fine Thursday,
Michael
That's an unusual Gun Club Michael, I like that curled brim with the shape of the crown.

That Playboy is a corker Jim. It looks good speckled with little raindrops.


Love that band Bob.


As Fozzie Bear sez..."Life with the top down!" At least the Polar will keep the burning sun off your nose.


Very cool Richard. The liner resemblance to a Resistol really tells a story of this maker.


Now this is a "western" that I could be coaxed into wearing. Love the new ribbon.


Nice Gun Club Michael. Love the showy hat band.


Looking good Justin. Another fine wider ribbon.


A great one from Mike Miller Roger. Love the color and lines.
Thank you Red!

I can't get enough of that Polar Matt.
Thanks Richard.

Great looking Bradford. Yet one more hat that is sucking me inexorably towards more exploration of the landscape of western hats.
