Wooow...that's some serious character!
That hat went from bland to smashing...and the best part is that it's a hand-me-down from an important person.
My dad wore fedoras in the "Indiana Jones" style. I don't think I'm that kind of person, but I'd cherish it if he gave me one of his old beat up sweaty fedoras from back in the 80's.
:)

Thank you my friend! I had planned giving this back to my dad today, but my car wouldn't start. I agree, our styles may change some in time, but both are much appreciated!

So i'll be honest. I never really ever considered wearing a western/cowboy hat. Windchill in MN tonight will be colder than -50F and I was raised in the city, so it never crossed my mind. My pops came to the USA in 1969, and like all the rest of the immigrants of the time, he enjoyed all the popular cowboy movies. One of his friends, a trucker, had route out West so my dad asked him to pick up a cowboy hat. Forward many years and my old man found the beat up old hat and asked if I could restore it. I tried, but its a very thin felt so couldnt pounce out the stains or pitting, and the crease marks were slightly visible even after blocking. So i decided to at least attempt to bring it back to life. Restore would be the wrong word since it is damaged even more now, but this is the first cowboy hat I can say I really like . . . but maybe thats the elbow grease talking.

Agree with Dm101, that's some great character. If he hasn't seen it yet, I hope your Dad likes it and gets many more years out if it.

I had an idea of a cigar in a hat band for a rum bootlegger. This is Kaiyalethe Crowns' RumRunner 100% fur felt dress hat with a never-seen-before cigar holder on the band. The custom tooled leather band was created by my friend and is detailed with a map to the rum stash as well as two burn patches to prevent the cigar from burning the felt. The hat is finished off with a natural raw leather sweat band and a Dia De Los Muertos headliner.
