What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

First time posting here guys but been a long time browser, thanks for all of y’all’s input, wearing my 1940s maybe early 50s Dobbs rancher today, widest brim hat I wear

Welcome, WD. A Dobb's Western is on my wish list and that's a fine example. The plastic protector in the liner tip likely puts this hat closer to post 53 but right in that mid - 50's range, I think. Great hat.

Thank you, I hate it when people say something is older than it really is, I have not seen one with the round size tag so I figured there was a chance it was a 1940s, thank you for the info,

I could be wrong as well. I'm no expert. There seems to be some cross breeding in some of these hats during transitional years. This happens quite a bit with Stetson's. A sweat and stamp "known" to be from one era and the liner and other indicators from a later or earlier time. Either way you have quite a rare hat and if you enjoy westerns, a great one to have.

Hey all!
I haven't worn a Homburg in a while. This Collins & Fairbanks needs to be worn, so I guess it was just meant to be.

Nice looking Homburg, John. Definitely deserves to be worn.
