After looking at Ebay I have figured out that of the 432,342 Whippets Stetson made 865,497 still exist.

 

[Bob Roberts]

My 2017 resolution for myself .... Stop taking everything so seriously and realize not everyone does things as I would do them.
Thank you for trying to make things right , Jeramiah. I understand you meant no ill. I took it a little too personaly perhaps. After all, It's just a hat.
I'm removing your EBay name from my blocked bidder list. I don't sell that many hats during the year, but if you happen to see one you like no reason to hesitate.
Have a happy new year!

Thanks man. I love this place and felt so bad last night.

Why has no one bid on this? I have five black hats already and waiting on a Akubra Stylemaster BGG.

Anyone here get this? I was on it until the last second and my final shot missed by 3 bucks! Oh well, 7 3/8 might have been a tad large anyway. What is this hat model? Specs put the brim larger than an Open Road.

I watched that one. The crease sold it. Gonna go home and try to reproduce it on a hat I already have with similar dimensions.

Western Royal Stetson , similar to a No.1 Quality (I guess) , 3" Brim , 4.5" crown at the crease . No.1 Quality that I have seen have that low crown wide hand creased look , open crowned they're 5" , that I've owned . I like the Brim Width better than The Open Road (2 3/4"), but I would prefer a 5 3/4"-6" Open Crown , but that's me .

I can vouch that the mid/late 1950s No.1 was available in a similar size and crease. This is the No. 1 that Michael gifted me (thanks again Michael!). It currently resides on the stretcher as I'm trying to make a long oval out of it.

WOW ! Bob , it still looks SMOKING ! I have a Stetson No.1 Quality High Roller with about a 3 1/2" Brim , and 5" Open Crown currently (reg oval , ... me too Bob) . Beautiful Pecan Bob ! Ask Bob Roberts about refreshing the feathers . (sorry)

Nice No.1!

Thanks Joao! It's all Michael's doing (... and Stetson's).

 

[Joao Encarnado]

I still have to find a No.1 with a 4" brim. The one I have is... kind of... stingy 3.5"...

Lol. Got lots of feathers. Whoever wants some just gotta PM.

This western straw had been on eBay for a while, apparently made by Bandera Hat Company here in Fort Worth.

For $17 shipped, it should be a decent beater for the warm months that will be coming soon.

I've found a couple of ads from the 60's for Bandera Hats, but doesn't seem to be much info around.

Cheers!
