Roy Rogers Stetson ??

Does your hat also show "made especially for Roy Rogers"?

I might just have to eat my hat!

No it doesnt. Roy Rogers on one side and Stetson crest on the other.

Thanks everyone for the replys so far! With all the collectors here I thought for sure somebody would have seen one of these.
The link I posted first, is the only one that I have seen, with this signature, that's a Stetson. Haven't seen any hats that wasn't in an auction.
I think I may try to contact Dusty Rogers for some info..

Very cool, Vic. My wife's just getting into dressage, so she'll be amazed at his and Trigger's skills.

I have done several of my own hats in the double-tear-drop (or double C-crown) style:

Shady Oak:

A fedora -

A Stetson cowboy hat:

Resistol 'Cutter Bill' Beaver 50:

If the crown has a lot of felt (high crown), and you want to rake it down in the back, this can create a problem if you head has a high crown, have to push that felt in the middle of the crown up. Sometimes that can be an unsightly bubble that makes the hat look goofy, so you consume the extra felt by putting an extra ripple or crease around the inside of the crown, it just becomes a practical solution to the problem. jwalls version of the crease is more true to the Rogers style.

Those are "Art"!
