Nice collection.Originally Posted by fmw
Do most people switch that many hats?
How many wear a Resistol 20x or higher?
By the weekend I'll try to do the same.
Portugal is starting to heat up. Time to start to get my straw out!

No, they don't. But here on the Lounge, you will find that many active members do have a great many hats.
fmw,Show us your westerns. Include your country hats. Here is the dozen I wear most often
Front row L to R: MHT black wool felt, Stetson Rancher Gray Mist 7X, Resistol chocolate 3X, Serratelli silverbelly 8X
Second row L to R: Stetson Bent Tree Shantung, Stetson Open Road silverbelly 4X, Stetson light brown 4X, Stetson Sturgis brown wool felt
Third Row L to R: Akubra Cattleman brown, Stetson Cool Water Shantung, Buckaroo Custom medium gray, Akubra Flinders brown.
That's a VERY NICE selection of Westerns and Country hats ! I especially like the two AkubrasDo you have any closer shots of the Brown Flinders? It looks to have a different crease than the one it comes with and that hat band looks to be a braided Kangaroo?

I call it a Flinders because that is what is written on the sweatband. It appears to have been an exclusive. At any rate, you see it in its original brand new state - except for the braided kangaroo leather band, of course. Here's an image with the original hat band.
Most people don't own that many hats and I'm a small timer compared to many on Fedora Lounge. It gets even worse because these are just the country and western hats. I have another bunch of city hats and yet another bunch of straws. Actually, I normally keep 8 hats in my rotation because that is the number of pegs I have on the utility room wall. I change them from time to time as the whim strikes me. Look forward to seeing your westerns.
My favorite is still the one in your avatar fmw. That is a sharp hat!
You can have my girl, but don't touch my hat!

I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these to other people and I require the same from them.
WAR = What is it good for?
My only true western and these are pics before I got it refurbed at Peter Bros. My father bought it back in the late 60s and wore it for about 10 years 'till he gave it to me. It's a 4x Stetson and I braided the Kangaroo band and used some tail hair from a mare I owned for the tassels. He wore it with the brown cord band it came with and this is the crease he wore it with. it's got a wear/moth hole up in the top of the pinch but I dont mind, gives it "atmosphere" to me

Thanks and it is still my favorite of all hats.
It looks like you are fan of the 3 1/2" brim. Me too. The stagecoach has a great crease. Did you put it there?Adam Corral 101
