So something strange happened to me today.
I had ordered a Disney hat box for a Disney hat that I have and it showed up with this Stetson cowboy hat in it .
There was no hat in any of the pictures of the box and the price would never suggest a hat was included.
I'm thinking the hat was in the box and whoever shipped it out left it in by mistake.
The hat is not really my style but what the hell .

I also picked up this Cavanagh.
This one should shape up nicely with just a bit of steam.
Gorgeous hat ... The pictures do it no justice
I'll post more when she is shaped up

Is that a raw-edged Cavanagh?

The Western looks nice. Not my cup o' tea, either, but heck, now you're prepared for anything!


raw edge Cavanagh indeed... that is what sold me on it

the guy selling it has a similar hat in a darker brown with a Cavanagh edge ... I have been looking for a raw edge Cavanagh .. and the price was unbeatable .... his asking was low and my offer was way lower an he accepted

best part about it is the seller spelled Cavanagh wrong so anyone looking for one and spelling it right is most likely missing out.

I could steer you in his direction if you are looking for a brown Cav edge at a very good price... it is our size

Thanks for the tip. I always search for both spellings. Penneys and Pennys, too, for Marathons!

Cavanaghs with raw edges are fairly. At least factory ones are. Many are, sadly, trimmed later in life.

this one looks pretty factory to me ... of course there is no way for me to know for sure

any idea on a date for this one Brad ? ... that you could tell from the pics anyway ... a ballpark maybe ?

I would guess 50s?

Sorry, that should say "fairly rare." I can't figure out how to edit my own post in this system.

Yes, late-1950 to late-1953 are the outside dates on either end.

That looks like a nipped Cavanagh to me - perhaps a nice job done by a hatter?... what is the brim width?

I think you'll be up to speed on the western very soon, Moon. ;^)
