Boss of the Plains?
...surviving examples & cloning of same (see WHAYWT); the FL members who think otherwise lose & adapt, or leave. I guess it’s my turn. Old Stetson’s that are “real close” don’t cut it in my book. A custom clone used to mean that of an original with so rare a survival rate that original...- Hurricane Jack

Boss of the Plains?
I understand all that quite well, thank you, but since I already have an old Stetson that's real close to the original style, I'm perfectly fine with a more modern take on the BOP theme that has a 6 inch crown, which I have to admit I prefer for wearing.- MikeinRome

Boss of the Plains?
In the truest since it is a BOP because it is licensed by Stetson with the appropriate nomenclature…just not an American BOP. I don’t think any student or researcher of the historical settling of the American West would ever identify it as a BOP, or ever think of a BOP as having a 6” crown.- Hurricane Jack

Boss of the Plains?
Cool find, Mike. Failsworth didn't make many western style Stetsons. While I agree with Greg that it doesn't resemble a Boss of the plains this discussion has been had quite a few times here on the forum, where members insist a hat isn't this or that model because it doesn't say so on the... -

Boss of the Plains?
I'm very clear about that point of view and I agree completely. However, some might say that a Boss of the Plains is whatever Stetson says it is at any point in time.- MikeinRome

Boss of the Plains?
Calling it a BOP was probably pretty good marketing when that hat was produced and likely no one gave a damn about what an historically correct BOP might look like. It’s a unique hat and an unusual find but it’s not a BOP, at least not in the context of what a vintage Stetson BOP is. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Stetson made in Europe under license The hat came from an exchange with Stefan (Steur) and becomes one of the representatives of US shaped hats in my collection. Excellent Stetson made in Lizeng - Germany. There are no other indications of color or size, however it is fine for my head 59-60...- Daniele Tanto

Boss of the Plains?
Stetson Boss of the Plains. 3 1/2 inch brim and 6 inch open crown. Made under license in England I'm supposing by Failsworth who got the license in 1949. I have no real idea when this hat was made after that, but the liner has a very thin onionskin-like material over the liner and the hat seems...- MikeinRome
