But it won’t be allowed at the Royal Ascot so that’s a dealbreaker for me.
Hi all!
Hoping this is the right place to post this question because it’s driving me nuts. Does anyone know what the hat is that Phil Harding wears on Time Team!

Looks like a pretty unremarkable wool hat.
This was my "haven't finished my coffee yet answer.
The shrinkage/distortion and welted brim are pretty sure giveaways of a modern felt hat. There are many hats like this from various manufacturers, so without seeing the inside of the hat, it's really impossible to say.
Here are some things that randomly popped up from Village Hat Shop that are in the vicinity of this hat.

Can anyone recognize these embossing nomenclatures? The time frame would be late 1950's - early 1960's & likely Texas.

Thanks Jim. I think that's correct & that I can make out Self-.
I tried some searches, but couldn't pull up an answer to my hat issue. I have a Stetson Gun Club that is flaking inside the band. Love the hat and I've had it for years, but I'm not thrilled about having little bits of the band sticking to my head when I take it off. Here's a picture of the worst of it, but it's happening all around the band. Anything I can do to stabilize this? View attachment 305245
You can buy top quality leather sweats on Etsy.com for $20 and sewing them in yourself is very doable.I tried some searches, but couldn't pull up an answer to my hat issue.

I upsized from a 7 1/8 to 7 5/8 but it was a floppy wide brimmed Borsalino and really easy to work with.I would probably know this if I had been paying attention, but I would have forgotten anyway. Can a 6-3/4 western (not real think felt and not overly stiff) be re-blocked to 7-1/2? The brim is currently 3-1/2". Thinking of a cowboy to fedora conversion.

Terry @T Jones took a 6 5/8 western to 7 1/4. I’ve taken a couple of 6 7/8 or even 6 3/4 wide brim black Borsalinos up to 7 3/4 without any issue, other than brim width loss. I was shocked at how easily those Borsalinos slipped over a 7 3/4 block.
Ask Terry, but I suspect that sizing it up in stages would be the best way to go.
