What hat are you waiting for today?

[BobHufford]

^^^^^ The apparently asymmetric brim had me wondering.

Other's out there list them as men's hats, but I'm not sure.

I've seen Resistol 20X Black Gold, Brown Gold and White Gold, but this Blue Star is a new one on me.

I can't tell from the photos that the felt color has any blue. Maybe.

Not sure if it was exclusive to Luskey's.

I wonder if it has any connection to Blue Star Mothers.

Maybe so. I've not kicked up another one on the Google.

I left a pic off of the above Dobbs 15. Not sure what this model name implies ... Gates of Hell?

Maybe it has a local connection.

Many times, the Blackfeet ventured into the mountains and ambushed the western tribes as they came through the canyon. The gruesome evidence of these raids was the "Gates of Hell." Hell Gate also was the original name for Missoula.

Thanks cool to know Bill, thanks. I did find a Hellgate High School in Missoula. The spelling is odd in the hat though.

Thanks guys! I hope the colors are accurate in the photos ... and that they are my size (odds are they are a 7-1/8 if history is any indicator).

I have high hopes. I also recently received a flange hat should be perfect for this hat.
