That one's a real beaut Mark !! I was watching it myself because it was a 7X and fit the bill for "something different ". Looks good on ya

Thanks, Timmy!

 

[VoodooSan]

That is one cool hat, Mark.

Thank you, Joe!

Not quite sure what I've landed here. Stetson 7X Westerner, which is an animal I'm not at all familiar with. What little I've been able to find, seems to indicate a 70s to 80s production, with this lining. But the hat looks like something out of 40s or 50s lineup, and I wasn't aware that Stetson was making anything so "old fashioned" during that later time period. Any info/input, gratefully accepted!

Two notes: the stock shape is intriguing, but not sure I can carry it off; the fedora seems better on me. And, despite the soft sunlight this morning, it's black, not blue, as those pics make it appear.

I think you carry it off well. Particularly brim down for me.

That’s a beauty! Judging by the brown sweat I would guess 1950s. I think a couple dents would be quite appropriate.

Great looking lid Mark!

@MikeinRome posted a Pilgrim “Westerner” hat with what looks like the same font as yours (but bucking horse is different).

Here‘s a side by side shot of logos:

Not sure if that helps in your research or not.

I hadn't even considered the sweat, when trying to date it. More research is obviously necessary! And yes, I agree on the dents.

Thanks, Bill. I'm finding that a lot more companies used bucking horse art than I had originally realized!

This ones got potential! anything with a bound edge comes out clean in my experience. I had a few that were "black" that looked blue, and blues that looked almost black.. I just call them dark. Most westerns make a nice fedora with a tall crown. I enjoy turning westerns into things other than what they were originally.

 

[Rmccamey]

An OR style with a Cattlemen's crease seems to fit that hat, Mark. An interesting color as well.

[VoodooSan]

Threw some slight crown shaping in; looks good whether stock or fedora, I think.

Borsalino sold by Bubani in Ravenni 1976 in the color Argento.
The hat came in like a disaster, so needed a lot of steam. Finally it turns out like a very well Borsalino

Thank you. Me too, very classic. I also like the hatband width.

Nice job, Marcel. Great looking Borsalino.

I particularly like the wide ribbon, its colour, and the liner logo.

Thank you. I totally agree

I’ve been on the wagon for most of the year—bought myself a Whippet for my birthday but that’s it. Until a couple weeks ago. I’ve always wanted a dove gray 1930s fedora with a 2” ribbon and raw edge—as seen in movies like The Thin Man and different Cagney and Gary Cooper films, and also familiar from pictures of the Depression and WPA. Anyway—I saw this and couldn’t resist. Just arrived today and I’m thrilled. It’s also my first English hat. Nice thick felt for keeping off the rain and fog. Now back on the wagon for me!
Cheers,

David

Looks great David.

Looks great David.

Thanks Joe—you are the guy that seems to have the most of those 1930s hats…
