Coker of Fort Worth???

OK, I received the hat

I thought I'd describe it in hand. The crown is fairly supple, but the brim is stiff as a board, like a cowboy hat. It doesn't quite fit and needs to be ovalized. I could either take it in to have that done, or maybe just steam it and put in a stretcher to get the right shape. It's also a funny colour. Almost flesh-tone. Anyone have experience with this colour?

There are no tags under the sweat that help I.D. the origin of the hat, so I guess it will remain a mystery.

I'm a bit disappointed, because I was thinking "fedora", not "cowboy hat", but I guess I should have known...Coker's of FORT WORTH, after all. :)

Do you know when Coker's closed? I have a Coker hat that I bought from them in ~76.
