I'm sure you're right, Frank. I was too young when he passed away to have seen him play live. I was a huge fan and had all his albums, but was still a kid in high school. Plus living on the other side of the planet precluded me from seeing him regularly as you did. I can only go on what footage exists of him, along with photos, concert shots, magazine shoots, etc. If you google his image, you'll see a myriad of different hats. Ironically, I couldn't find the fedora shot I mentioned. There is a picture of it in his biography, Caught in the Crossfire.frussell said:Vitamin - I'm sure you're right, and I myself saw SRV wear many different hats, but in general, that hat style became his go-to onstage style in the mid 80s up until his death. I can say that with some certainty, because although he took a lot of photos in different styles, I personally went and saw him play several dozen times and spoke to him on several occasions, and he was wearing that flat vaquero hat style every single time. I guess we can quibble about SRV details, but I lived in Austin during the 80s, and Stevie Ray was around pretty much all the time, just like his brother and the Thunderbirds. Thanks, Frank

Carlos wore this hat on DWTS last night. He played a great rendition of Oye
Como Va.
Stevie Ray- great music.
