Thanks Rick. It's a favorite. I have one in black & would buy another but don't see a "vintage" color in the palette. Thought about Navy but it's not right for the era of the hat in my opinion.

Thanks all, was thinking about possibly a new ribbon when I first got it. Most everyone liked the stock skinny/micro ribbon so I kept that on and added the sterling band just sitting above it. I have noticed the edges may be a problem over time, might look into thin felt strips to try and tack on it.

All it takes is a little rain and snow and may be a hat gets a new shape. "Really?", they say.

Still haven't heard from my nephew, so no news on the FFA hat.

OK I got a text from my nephew. He didn't give me a date but he did say that Resistol made a line of hats for FFA Alumni. I never knew that.

A fine hat - and boots! (As much as I appreciate all the well-done western boots seen here on the Lounge, lace-up packers are still my favorite "westerns" from the standpoint of comfortable wear).
Thank you, Wt. I appreciate that. I remember you mentioned that the first time I posted these. I admit I was skeptical at first as I’d never worn them before but I’m a real fan now. They’re breaking in nicely and for the weight, surprisingly comfortable over the long haul. I won’t give up my pull ons in favor of these but I’m already thinking about a black pair. Have you ever worn a pair out?

Sorry for the repetition.
Pull-on boots just don't work well for me, so I'm always glad to see lace-ups getting a little publicity too.I've never "worn out" a pair to the point that they needed to be rebuilt or replaced, but have had a couple of pair re-soled at least once. One pair I have owned for at least 25, maybe 30 years. However, I normally wear these as casual boots, sometimes even "dress" boots, and so I'm not in them nearly as often as I am the "logger" style boots that I prefer to work in. And, I try to take good care of them, as I see that many of you here do.
Thanks, Cuz.
