Here's something I saw on the 'Bay, it was unusual and interesting so I nade an offer and got it. The Ecuador Hat Co. out of Baltimore had been around since the 30's (or so a quick perusal of the Google suggested) but this particular one seems more 60's early 70's. Like a Tyrol/Western crossover, it has none of the traits of a Western that I dislike. Namely overly stiff, heavy and wide. This thing is light, soft and floppy, with a manageable 3" brim (curled) and 5 1/2" open crown. Long nap finish, silky soft hand. So floppy I had to do head shots or else the brim is totally flat just sitting on a table.
No tags or other marks save for the stub of a size tag still glued to the underside of the leather.
Great hat for those days when you want something a little different.
