Spectacular Portis, Gregg. Love the color.
Thank you, Perry. Never saw myself in a green hat until someone talked me into buying this one. Glad they did. The usual fine display of hats and sweaters from you this week.

Thank you sir! What vintage would you reckon on that one?
I’m not too good at this, Perry but it makes me think 60’s. Never seen another Portis western, though, so not much to go on.

I dig that green one, Cuz, and it looks good with the Carhartt. The pup looks like he's kinda over the snow. Hope it's cleared up some by now.

That's a mighty nice one Brent. Shape, color...a classic all around.
Thanks, Cuz. I think Carhartt messed up when they discontinued these. He actually loves it. With the thawing and refreezing, the crust has been rough on his paws. Still a little lingering in the shade but should clear out today.

Nice sentiment Robie. For over 20 yrs I did morning feed & always enjoyed first light.

Here's the Knox Stagecoach I was working on. You don't run across hats like this very often. It sports a 7 inch tall open crown and a 4.5 inch brim width. I was able to preserve the original block profile and to keep its brim width and pencil curl. Except for the cheesey hat band I reused everything that was original to this hat. I gave the crown a Montana pinch crease with a Mule Kick in the back, and I gave the brim a Cowboy Curl. I'm just guessing, (and maybe someone can chime in), but possibly Byer / Rolnick bought out Dobbs and Knox back in the day(?) I saw a Dobbs Western Stagecoaches, and of course Resistol, but this is the first Knox Stagecoach that I personally saw. Anyway, here's the hat. I'll have more later...

Always enjoy seeing the green Portis, Greg. It has a great brim and curl. Great proportions all around and the 6 ply is a bonus. A favorite hat for me.

Looks great, Terry! That’s definitely the right crease for a crown that tall. I’m glad you were able to reuse all the components and keep it true to its original form.

Thank you Brent! I agree. It's an 'old school' look but I think it goes perfect with this hat of the proportions it has.
Thanks, B.
