Gorgeous! Kind of a holy grail of hats to me.

Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk


that's another fine example, Josh!




Great find.


C'mon Josh, let's see it on your head!


Impressive! I'm not a western fan in general, but this hat has some history! Do you think the braided band is hand made by the previous owner. Just putting it there over the original ribbon?


Thanks so much everybody. I was really happy to land this one. I love the Boss Raw Edge Westerns from the early 20th century.

Perry - I would love to wear this one, but unfortunately its a small 6 7/8 and way too tight for my head. :(

Red - I have seen very similar Horsehair braids on other vintage westerns, and I believe it was made by a large manufacture at the time. More than likely it was purchased at the Cody Trading store which is where the hat was originally purchased.
