I remember when those feathers were so popular during the seventies. I worked in a western store and sold hundreds of them.
Mostly cheaply made, and always ugly!

I remember buying a cowboy hat during the late 70's or early 80's and the clerk asked if I wanted a "nice" feather band to go with my hat. I just responded "they don't make em".

Yeah, I was more interested in the shape of the hat. That's why I got rid of the band.

In fact, before removing it completely, I had tried plucking it, leaving the leather band.

^^
Lol, plucking a hat band!

Yeah, funny, right? But I figured if you could pull them out of a chicken . . .

I got this hat a month or so back, fairly cheaply on Ebay, but never wore it because the brim was all ahoo. I think it had been improperly stored, the brim was flat but at an angle, higher on one side and sloping down on the other side. (Not back to front, that would make more sense.)

Lucky for me (new to hats and totally ignorant) there's a local vintage clothing store called "Joyride" which does hat blocking. They flanged the brim just how I wanted it. I love everything about it, my first hat hat since 1975.

Congratulations. Nice hat.

Resistol Montana, came with dead rooster hat band, appears original. There is no ribbon underneath, so guess I will have to make one. No way that chicken is staying on this hat.

Under the feathers is a nice hat with a great brim and crease.

The "Huggy Bear", it is probably from the 1970s as well. It is a Cavanagh (in name only...)

The brim and crease, beautiful hat

I was expecting this 1940's Feather Weight Champ. Like it quite well.

Forgot it was coming? I would have been pacing, looking out the window, and repeatedly checking tracking! Two beautiful hats this week, congratulations!

You're right. I did that for about 2 weeks then I got caught up with other things and you know that when you're having fun, working and dealing with teenagers, time flies.

I always liked hats, fedoras to be exact. I didn't have a protege until I ran into TFL. Thank you all for sponsoring me through your posts and pics. TFL opened up a deeper understanding and appreciation for the hat and its history. Thank you all.

Thank you 65! You have contributed much! Always nice to have another enthusiast aboard. I thought no one would be interested in my western hats, when I first posted. Everyone was nice and welcoming. The wide variety of styles is interesting and I have learned a lot.

In that size, at that age, I'd say you found a Holy Grail hat, Jack. Then, there's the price... JACKPOT!!!!!

Great looking hat. Looks new too. @DOGMAN posted a hat recently with the same sewn in crown patch.
