Bandera Hats, Fort Worth, Texas

[Elayne]

I was researching a cowboy hat I picked up at a yard sale and it brought me here. Just thought I’d post it in case anybody knows anything important about it. It is a Bandera and on the other side it says Don McLaughlin Champion Roper The Ranch Room Fort Worth. It’s a 5X fur felt. Size 7 . Too small for me but that’s ok, bought it to resell.

More photos, including the interior, liner, and sweatband would be helpful.

Most hats in smaller sizes, such as 7, are hard to sell, or at least hard to sell for much. Good luck.

This 3X just says 1960s to me. 4-1/2” tapering to 3-1/2” crown crease. 4-1/8” to 4-1/4” brim.

This should be at my door any day now. Something about it spoke to me.

Maybe next year?

Thanks for posting this Justin -- I didn't put two and two together to realize this was you. Hope it arrives soon and that you're happy with it. Wear it in good health throughout the New Year (and many years to come)!

I thought you had just pulled these photos from eBay. I was so confused for a minute as to how you had access to my tracking info and what your first sentence meant and then it clicked. I was pleased by how great the seller photos where and thought ‘this must be a hat person’ Pleasure doing business!
