Ironically, I didn't even make it into actual hat shop today, which is a drag bacause I need to have an OR reblocked pretty badly.

This was described as a Navy parade hat, though I've never seen such a thing. ROTC, maybe? :

It was only thirty-eight dollars, but didn't fit. Very disappointing.

These were all at an antique store in Gruene, Texas. There were plenty more nice westerns, and some really awful ones, too. These were the better finds of the day.
