That's a mighty nice one, Jack, and if you feel the need to post more pics of that interesting brim testament I'll be happy to give it a better look. It's pretty cool!!

Thanks Dale. The underbinding is 3-cord & the crown ribbon is 6-cord but I'm having trouble focusing in close enough.
That’s a nice snag, HJ. Don’t see many full blown Knox westerns and that’s a unique one. Very Arminto like. Beautiful liner.

Thanks BB. I'm going to contact Saddle and Sirloin Club to see if I can learn more of their 75 yr history, & if Woolf was a founding member.
I'm surprised more Stetson Arminto's don't show up. They were in the catalogs from the 1920's to ~1957.
Look forward to what you can find.
I’m surprised as well. Had to be selling some to keep them in the lineup that long. Outside of the old beauty Alan has, those late 60’s “American Royal” repops like mine are the only ones I’ve seen.

A couple quick dry creases and open crown shots on the 7x4 406 block Nutria Quality.

Keeping in theme with action shots. Nobody knows my wife’s struggles when I ‘force’ her to wear her the new Nutria Quality out and about today.

Resistol Waco this morning. Previous owner had neutered the ribbon tails rather short & poorly so I clipped off the unraveling & tucked them up behind the ribbon.

Hit the dusty road for a day or so, with my trusty western homburg by Greeley Hat Works.

Looks great! Is that a meerschaum/Bakelite Dublin?

Thanks Jeff. The pipe is a meerschaum block billiard with a Catalin stem. It was one of my dad's pipes that I have. I smoked it on Memorial Day, let it rest a day, then again on Wed before putting it away.
I don't have the Western Derby look down as well as you do.

Nice one Vic. Would be great to see more of your westerns, even if it’s a re-share.

One last post of my wife’s Nutria westerns. I carefully removed the braided cord from the black Real Nutria quality, which was sewn in through the sweat and reed. It had no structural integrity for the sweat, and I suppose was added to help shrink the size of the hat down a touch. I retied it onto the Nutria quality and I think I think it looks much better, no sewing needed.

1960's Stetson 3X OR.
Don't know what Stetson called the color but it's Dun to me.
