This hatband was made by the Navajo, Johnny Pablo. Not too much information out there about him nor examples of his work that highlight this sort of fine filing. Apparently he started working in the 50s. Hat's an old Resistol.
I've posted these somewhere before but just to keep the WD love train going here's a nice, strange one: Jacket started it's life out as a 38 but original owner eventually realized it was tight and brought it back to WD for some surgery .. if you look carefully at second pic you can see where...
I posted about this hat in the Borsa Brotherhood thread in more detail but thought I might as well add it here. Stefan thinks he's reading model as Naiauva 44. Hat once belonged to Leo Carrillo, Pancho in the TV show The Cisco Kid. From pic of him waving it to the crowd at the Berlin Airport...
Here's an unusually large styled Borsa fit for a Hollywood actor, Leo Carrillo aka Pancho from The Cisco Kid to be exact! I had no clue of this when I snagged hat, I've just always liked these western Borsalino's but I found a few examples of his signature and sure enough it's his on hat's...

Resistol 5X Western. I don't think hat was ever worn .. just sat in it's box for the past 75 years. Moment I put hat on my head sweat's seam tore open. Yay. Hat has green, thin rectangular Garland Tx tag.
The times we fire up the internet .. just moments after some cool old hat's been put up for sale are always fun. I've hit BIN immediate-like and STILL been scooped. That's an incredible old Stetson, Dan and from what I gather about Ignacio he'll bring it back from the ledge. I really need to see...
This survivor No1 cleaned up nice. It even fits ; ) Not exactly sure where this type of size sticker, un-sewn and textured sweat puts hat year wise: 20s-30s? Warren W Joy 1897-1980
