A classic case of “Grabbing It by the Pinch Syndrome”
Quite an advanced case, actually.

Loved this scene in the movie and the way he pronounced 'ceramics'.
Popular in the 1920’s under several different dimensions & model names.What would you call Hopalong Cassidy's hat? and its weird front crease!? I read one of the original books, and they called the cowboy's hats "sombreros," which seems to fit the big hat Bill Boyd wears in the movies.

Boyd had been a star in the silent era, and a lot of his best work was done with his eyes. The early flicks usually had a scene where Hoppy started to realize someone was lying to him, and you'd see it in his eyes.
While watching Gene Autrys 1940 film Ride Tenderfoot Ride, I was surprised to see this hat.
Nothing new is new.... the fad of sewing on a hat has already been done.
[excuse my less than stellar screen shots from the film]
I hat a really nice Resistol I was wearing while tractor mowing get knocked off by a branch and go right under the shredder/mower. That stitiching looks like the pattern needed to fix that.While watching Gene Autrys 1940 film Ride Tenderfoot Ride, I was surprised to see this hat.

Tom Dean had the same thing happen... I just cant find his photos.I hat a really nice Resistol I was wearing while tractor mowing get knocked off by a branch and go right under the shredder/mower. That stitiching looks like the pattern needed to fix that.
If the stitching didn't go around the entire top of the crown I might think this was an attempt to repair a favorite hat that hat been damaged, or the felt got old and thin and was somehow torn. The shape just seems too "odd" to me to have been an attempt at artistry. Or maybe it was; what do I know?
Ah. Yeah, that would do it.He was cutting hay with it on a windy day the week before.

Edit: Ha! Missed the previous posts. ^^^^ That was not my hat. Mine was straw and did not survive in any pieces worth fixing. Of course I was running a brush-hog at the time.
Don’t think I’ve seen this one, have to check it out.The Original Indiana Jones......Charlton Heston in "Secret of the Incas" that I am watching now.....
