("Been there - done that")
Think dimestore cowboys- vs. -ranch hands.

Funny thing here...
I grew up in the south, lived in Texas many years and have only owned 1 hat (baseball caps excluded).

Thank you @drmaxtejeda for contacting me.
I appreciate the info on the Ermine...

This hat was my wife's Great Uncle Jimmy's (initials in hatband).
We believe it was a gift from his sister (we called her Grammy).
