This is the part I do not understand...
...

Thank you. Good horses are easy to find. Good hats? Not so much. Likely would be considered a Sugar Loaf hat... but with little work it would be a classic sombero.

Wind up to 25mph is common here. Only known down side to a hat Joao and I might approve of :)

Noting the wind speed is common when wearing a 5" brimmed hat. When the wind hits gusts of 35+, like they were here earlier this morning, things can get a little trying. Thankfully it never lasts long. Key to a hat with some stick'um? It is not a wind string...as one might have thought, but a tight fit and a "high and tight" :) It is all about that leather to leather contact!

 
Here are a couple of shots from my Stetson Western Hat catalog from the Late 50's early 60's....Some have commented on my statement about Stetson and their re-invention and renaming of various hat models INCLUDING their iconic Boss of the Plains....this catalog shows this and more including a renaming on a model listed right in the catalog (the High Mesa). Has a great poem "My Old Stetson Hat"!!!!!More here at: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/thre...a-of-the-golden-era.92141/page-4#post-2375635
