Thats a real beauty,nice find.
Looks great! I like the color. I think I like the OR's in a different color besides the traditional Silverbelly or Tan.
Odd that I don't yet have a vintage style in Silverbelly. I have one in gray, and was lucky enough snag one in green. (please forgive the rather ragged look in the second pic, it was taken well into a 1400 mile/20 hour road trip)Me too. Except that we rarely see any other than silverbelly mostly and sometimes the tan ones. I'd like a black one, myself.
3X Open Road beater. It just goes with anything.
I'd love to trace it's history but I'm afraid it's impossible to figure out who all Amon Carter gave his hats out to. William Howard Taft would be a great idea except that the hat doesn't look that old. We figured it's probably a 60's version.
Date of Manufacture: 1940s, I say this because it has the stars on the logo on the sweatband and the liner both.
Here's the one I recently acquired:
Anyone got an educated guess on vintage?
