Old no brand 4X Quality medium nap light Silverbelly

FBCCE05A-46E7-42F7-B6C4-6ED55861237A.jpeg


4X Quality
5 1/2 open crown
Medium nap felt
Light Silverbelly off white felt with brown/tan undertones.
1 inch tan grosgrain mid ribbon
3 1/4 brim with 1/8 tan grosgrain

One of several old hats from a rancher in the Midwest. This one in fairly decent shape for what appears an older hat. I brushed clouds of dust out of this one and the felt responded nicely. Nice 5 1/2 VERY soft open crown and a 3 1/4 brim. The sweat is very soft and supple and fairly thin. No brand markings of any kind. Just a hand written 4 digit number inside. It is possible it originally had a thin ribbon and this mid ribbon was used to cover a tear in the crown as I do see a patch under the sweat. A few yellowish stains here and there I may attempt to clean down the road and a bit of mothing Overall this is a very soft felt. Might benefit from a good steaming.

Celebrating 36 with Tom Mix.

I had purchased this No. 1 recently and noticed it looked very similar to the wider ribbon sported by Tom Mix in the serial, ‘The Miracle Rider’. Once I started doing some additional research, I was delighted to learn this last of his films, a rare ‘talkie’ for him, was filmed on Iverson Movie Ranch. Right near the ranch, is a public access climbing area called, Garden of the Gods, and has a boulder dubbed Tom Mix rock. A re-enactment was in order...

This spot is only 15 minutes from my place, and I had no idea it existed until I bothered to poke around a little.

The picture above with trash can mural is in Newhall, Santa Clarita. He also recognized on the cowboy walk of fame but it’s not too exciting and I used up the 10 pic max anyhow. Hope y’all enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Love the photo essay. The reenactment photos are great, and you have my respect for rock climbing in leather sole boots!

There is a Garden of the Gods rock formation outside of Colorado Springs...they don’t allow climbing but I didn’t get caught :)
