Although the felt is basic quality(rabbit?) and not so uniform in fiber or well finished, they have managed to make a thick relatively stiff hat that is still soft and flexible without losing its form. I don't know why they can't do this on today's Westerns which are like cardboard even though the felt and finishing can be really fine.

Finally!! The Stetson I won has arrived, it actually came on thursday so I wore it to work on friday. I'll admit that I wore it all day in the office, just couldn't bring myself to take it off. It fit so nice and I love the shape.

Well, here's my newest acquisition, a 50's era Open Road courtesy of a mutually beneficial trade between Alanfgag and myself. A good trade all the way round, me thinks! And this is my first attempt ever at bashing my own hat, does it look OK?

This auction purchase plumped up nicely with a little steam and brushing. From other's research, it appears an American made hat with a French flavor... firm dense felt of modest quality, back bow, a nice warm walnut brown. Also in the picture is a 2 piece hat form I purchased recently.
