Bob, I'd vote for the brim snapped down in this case. I have two of my ORs set that way and one more like your first pic. I have various OR clones, some with brim down, a couple more like your first pic.

The cattleman's crease can cause this style to ride on top of your head a little differently than C-crown type creases since there's no 'dome' in the center of the bash. Nonetheless, I think it looks like it's sitting well in the second photo.

I liiiiike that color.

Indeed

I know it sounds crazy but I really did over do-it this year on lids. Gene mentioned that rather than going the bidding war route, he's been spending time getting to know the hats he's already won.....I need to do the same.

Its up to Bolt to win the small lids now!

I find it hard to believe that either bolthead or Garrett is done yet! I hope to see you continue as the Terrible Twosome of Tiny (ok...smaller) Toppers (TTofTT)!

Bob, Your OR looks fine either way. I agree with Mr. Paladin, brim up is the true western way to go. Nice color BTW.

Chuckles.....

Don't worry Garret, there's plenty to go around......I have over 50 in my collection as it stands and I've gotten to know them pretty well over the past 2 years or so, and Carter is right, even though my wife wants to kill me.

Wellllll.....

Allow me to use my ONE THOUSANDTH TFL POST (woohoo) to show a new hat I just received from an Ebay listing. lol lol lol

I couldn't resist. It's a very green Dobbs Hanover Square model (which is a lot - I mean A LOT like a Whippet). I've got two other Hanovers and they are all very good quality. This one's like brand new and was BIN for $24.95 so I pounced.

I also had a couple other weak moments recently. I'll show you once they arrive and I've gotten out of rehab.

BEEYOUTIFUL! Very nice lid, Gene. I'm green with envy. lol

Congrats on 1,000 posts, too! Quite a milestone.

Wow!!!!!!!

Gene,
that is one great looking lid. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[jimmy the lid]

Gene -- If only I liked green lids, I'd be impressed...

Oh, wait a second -- I LOVE GREEN LIDS! I'M IMPRESSED!!!!!!!!!

That is an absolute stunner. Well done, my friend. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap


Cheers,
JtL

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Thank ya, thank ya!

I was waiting for you to get a load of this one, Jimmy. I knew you'd appreciate. I'd have a ways to go to catch you in the green dept.

So much for me being a model of stoic resolve when it comes to keeping out of Ebay trouble.

I'm weak...

 

[RBH]

That one is something else Gene!!

 

[BobC]

Gene, is that hat green?

Wow, that is another very sharp one for you. Congrats!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

That one is just grand, Gene! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Gilgamark]

Impressive hat, Gene, at a great price. I'm going to start trolling eBay this weekend.

I wish I had a smaller head! :eusa_doh: lol

I wish I had your Avatar, on a T-Shirt.

Ok, it's not a new hat per se, but it's new to me. I finally got round to taking a few shots of that lovely, NOS Schoble from johnnyphi by way of Not-Bogart13. Wonderful sort of milk chocolate-brown with what you might call a dark chocolate-brown ribbon. It takes a hand-bash wonderfully (no steam required!) and currently has a nice diamond bash in it.

Maybe someday there will even be photos of me wearing it
