whats the name/type of this hat?
IIRC, it's the same hat from the "Cavalry Trilogy," and the one that appears in Rio Bravo. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
I love the profile of this one, Steve. Did that "S" come with the hat? If so, it was meant to pass to your hands. Reminds me a little bit of the hat from The Shadow. -

50's Stetson Nutria Quality western
Maybe I should have led with the cleaner pics? I don't want to undersell the felt. Easily shapeable and fairly soft hand. (Some unfortunate price tag damage on the logo)- jlee562

Movie hats
I'm betting it's a custom hat from HatWrks in Nashville. It strikes me as their style and then Google turned up this link which discusses the bands picks for local spots and they tagged HatWrks. https://www.hatwrks.com/collections/hat-wrks I really enjoy their stuff. -

50's Stetson Nutria Quality western
This one was misidentified as a 7 by the eBay seller despite the two size tags. Thought about refurbing down to my size but would rather offer it up. It is actually 7 1/4, 3.5" brim, 5.5" open crown, 3ply band. The sweat is about 1 /3rd detached. Bob at Black Sheep saw pictures of the hat and...- jlee562

Heritage Hats in Phx AZ is amazing
Visiting my brother in Phoenix. Stopped by to take a browse. Nice selection of hats from caps and wool felts to high end fur felts and their own customs. I picked up the elusive white hat sponge, which is harder to find online. Definitely recommend you stop by if in the area. -

Baron hats made quite a few cat (well, cat puppet) sized hats for the original Sabrina the Teenage Witch tv show. They're not currently featured on the website, but I'd imagine cash is king, so to speak. Though, like everything Baron sells, they weren't cheap. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Well, I can't decide between tone on tone or contrasting color for the brim. My first inclination is to go with black, but then I keep thinking about how the novelty can be both material and color contrast like the original styles. So I've also been thinking about something like silverbelly for... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Well, speaking of that VS dualist, I think I just stumbled on an excellent vintage donor candidate. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Size-7-Dobbs-Milan-Fedora-Black-Straw-Hat-5th-Ave-Hughes-Hatcher-Detroit/264122285864 I mean, it's practically just a crown to begin with, right? I'm usually in... -

Well, more clues from Mr. Bowers, even in absentia http://www.thehattedprofessor.com/datecavanagh.html I'm seeing "Park avenue at 47th st" on the the tip liner. This was adopted ca. 1936 when they expanded from 247 Park ave. those definitely look like 30's labels according to the above. Nice... -

De nada. a stab in the dark guess would be 40's. The Gay Prince was mid 40's I believe and unlined hats would also have been common then. -

unfortunately no. I did look up that store, which is here in SF. An online/catalogue iteration of the business still exists, although the last brick and mortar store connected with the original business closed in 2000. As they were founded in 1853, that unfortunately doesn't help date the hat... -

That looks like a decorative running stitch on an overwelt. Very unique treatment. New to me at least. Here's my Gay Prince for comparison -

Gay Prince is a specific Dobbs model, yes. It's the most well known of this style of hat, but had a whip stitch brim. Stetson also has the similar Tijuana. -
Offerup Stetson looks great and it’s older one
That's a 7 1/8 if I am reading that tag correctly.- jlee562

A Question of Texture?
In my experience, modern hats are stiffer in general. We've postulated here that this may be due to both the perception that 'stiffer = more durable' as well as relatively more stiffener being used in modern hats to compensate for decreased felt density. Stiff felts will take longer to "break... -

Yah, that's the plan. I've also got a deposit in with Bob for a hat as well.
