Thanks again for the information. I'm not a hat expert but I've got a number of cowboy hats and like to know something about them. I'd have expected a 10x Stetson Rancher to have the cowboy / horse picture but I've seen other Stetson Western hats posted on Ebay that didn't have the picture in...

Oh yeah, he knew it was me. He knew I'd started wearing it a few days before and he'd seen it on me. Given that there's probably two people at the whole hospital who wear a cowboy hat (maybe I should say 'western' hat) to work, I think he was just having a problem being seen near it. His...

Post Number One... Last Christmas I told my wife I wanted a 'cowboy hat'. Luckily she let me pick it out - it's not that expensive a hat, a brown Stetson Rawhide with a low crown and only a 3 1/2" brim, which I've shaped. It's unmistakably a cowboy hat but very conservative - I don't look like...
