My kid sister is looking for a hat and I'm trying to keep her from buying a wool job.
Would be awesome to find her an old Last drop 3X or a nutria quality - Something with an unbound brim around 3"
This was the inspiration photo she sent me, but she would be happy with a silverbelly as well.
Thanks Blare, a bucket list hat for me. But as the story goes I'm thinking 'well this one is a bit beat up so Ill have to find one in better condition, oh and a black one too.'
Put on the new to me Boss Raw Edge Clear Nutria today - some serious brim on this guy - 4 1/4 with the curl
The hatband will soon be replaced with a vintage ribbon
Thanks Tim, much like you the 7X was one of my first vintage hats, truly a lucky strike. This one looks like it came off the shelf at Washer Bros yesterday. Now if only it was another 20 years old!
It’s interesting I accidentally wound up in this conversation. I’ve been sober for 9 out of the last 10 years. Decided at about the 5 year mark my drinking ‘wasn’t that bad’ as drugs are what really took me down at a young age. One year later had me back in a detox facility licking my wounds...
That's a very good question about whether it's light or dark. If it was me I would put it in with the light category. I've only done one gas bath on a silverbelly but none of the felt colour seemed to be left in the naptha - it doesn't have a tint just sediment which I strained out for re-use...
Thanks Vic - haven't done a lot of research on resistols was just my gut instinct with the square tag and general attributes. By the way I finally scored myself a BRE! It's a bit weathered but I'm still pretty thrilled.
My main hats of choice and what I'm looking to collect are mostly old westerns. This one is so similar to my 7XCB that I don't find I'm fitting it into the rotation. That being said I'm happy to take a look at what you would want to trade.
Wow a few of these surfaced recently - beautiful example Jack. Now is that a 7 3/4? I'm guessing that it's on your truck seat it probably fits your head. Incredible!
Great hats and thanks for posting everyone. Glad to see everyone safe and healthy.
Wore the creamy white Canadian No. 1 Quality out for a walk with the dogs and family today.
Can anyone with a Winchester Bone coloured hat tell me if this felt hue is similar or the same?
Thanks Tim, a couple rare and special hats that I am lucky to own. You are starting to amass quite the colllection yourself. Have you checked the classifieds lately? maybe you should.
