Stetson 5X from the 60s-70s (?) It has the black size tag with gold print, 7-3/8 LONG OVAL.

Giving this thread the first peek at my latest conversion project. I got this 10X Thoroughbred in a trade. I'm converting it into a Costner'esque Longhair Open Range style Western with a Montana Pinch. I'll have more details later in the conversion corral after it's dried out and completed. It's still wet from where I reshaped the brim and creased the crown....
The wife and I felt a little westerny today. O’Farrell and Rand’s 10X (both full beaver).

So do I. She likes the Optimo Milan and the MGL that Graham Thompson and Bowen gifted her, and she keeps them locked in her closet, but she's not in the habit of wearing them.
Ha. That's the number I used to have before I bought my first Optimo.
Give em salt...they’ll drink!
Thank you buddy. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with this one. The brim shape and crown crease came out the way I wanted, it's just that the hat for some reason doesn't particularly appeal to me. That's not to say it doesn't have that certain appeal to a certain somebody who would appreciate it more than I would. I do like the brim shape and crown crease, though. It's the color and the 3 1/2 inches of brim width for a Western that I don't care for, among a few other nit picky things I don't like that's common to all Western hat brands of this era.
Thank you buddy. I appreciate that.
Into the heart of the Rocket City tonight for dinner and a concert with a couple of my favorites. Early b'day gift from HERSELF.
Pimped out for the birthday blow out! Have a great early birthday!
Happy birthday!!
Sounds like a great evening coming up!
That's a real looker, Bob!New-to-me O’Farrell.
