I've seen those boots somewhere before too.

You'll need these with your hat Bob, next time you go to Midnight Rodeo.

I've got this beauty coming in the mail, hopefully tomorrow, from Mike at NW Hats. It's a Whippet clone, light grey with a dark grey ribbon and brim binding. I'm thinking it's a little lighter color than in this photo. Six-inch open crown, 2 5/8-inch brim. Can't wait!

Thanks, guys. Nothing beats a custom made beaver-felt hat from a real artisan. Can' wait to get my hands on this.

Today I've found this Stetson. I paid only $19,42 plus shipping.
Arrives next week. Any insights about dating the hat are welcome. The card says 1938...

Almost 3 1/2 MILLION hats "inadvertently" picked up!?!?!?!?! No wonder the hat business was so good back then......everyone was always replacing a "lost" hat!!!!!!!! Probebly is the TRUE reason for the decline in wearing hats.......eventually everyone eventually said "screw it" I am not replacing anouther hat!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will just go without!!!!!!!! And who can blame them?

GREAT historical archive by the way......nice 30's Stetson!

I would say the card is a pretty good clue. Would be great to see the LOTXXXX number stamped in the back of sweatband if you can find it safely.

This is another fine custom from Mike! Can't wait to see it on your head all creased up and beautiful. Anticipation....

What a nice Derby Fabio! If those cards come from under the sweat from this hat, I would say you are right in the ball park on it's vintage. Great find. Can't wait to see how dapper you make it look.

Just ordered an Akubra Camp draft in Moonstone from hats direct. Got a promotion and decided to splurge on my First new hat. All my hats are vintage and I got them either free or for like $5.
It comes with an open crown tho and I don't own a hat steamer so...ya

Teakettle or distilled water will work on an Akubra.
Or hell wear it in a rainstorm and then shape it!
