Is that the “Cadet Blue” color we’ve seen from maybe Eric’s stable?Again, only we folks would consider a crazy hat like this one a beater. I just want one this color.

Yeah boy. That’s a very difficult color to find. One that has eluded me. And to have two. My admiration RW.Sure looks like that tone. Yummy!
like that favorite pair of sneakers or jeans, right?I've decided many times to let it go... still here!
You guys that know me, know I spend a lot of my off time with the horses. My beater has been in my possession for nearly 21 years. A hundred dollar Rockmont that I nabbed at a Rodeo in Bakersfield, CA.
100s of riding miles, it's been worn on three continents (when it was much younger) and many 100s more hours in the arena and roundpen doing horse training. So, bear with it's condition. Even a deep cleaning naptha bath couldn't help it much. View attachment 121400
Now you're talking! Sure it might be a little dirty, but 21 years of dutiful service and it still looks that good? I'd say that was $100 well spent.You guys that know me, know I spend a lot of my off time with the horses. My beater has been in my possession for nearly 21 years.

Absolutely. I've worn the same pair of hiking boots almost every day for the last six years. They're stained, the nylon pieces are fraying a bit, and on the heels the hard rubber outer soles have worn through to the softer foam-rubberish inner cores in a couple of spots. Aside from still being the most comfortable shoes/boots I own, at this point I'm wearing them just to see how much longer they'll last. And when that day comes when I'm forced to retire them, I have two brand new pairs (one black, one brown) waiting to replace them.like that favorite pair of sneakers or jeans, right?
I do about the same thing.I've been trying to wear a pair of Russell Moccasin boots out for over 10 years!Now you're talking! Sure it might be a little dirty, but 21 years of dutiful service and it still looks that good? I'd say that was $100 well spent.

A beater maybe, but certainly not beaten! That still has years of service left in it, Bob.View attachment 122894
A Panama Bob cuenca that's been relegated to back seat beater status.
Boy, if that hat could talk! Wonderful!I was in a fast food place this week and a guy came in wearing the all time best beater I have ever seen. First I took a pic from a distance, then closed in and asked permission to take some close-ups. He didn't have much to say, but his sister said that he (who is in his fifties, at a minimum) got it when he was 16 and his grandfather died, passing the hat on to him...
