Thoroughbred Hats?

[M Hatman]

Here is a Maple Grizzly Thoroughbred. The liner and sweat are from the retailer. The box shows it was sent from the factory to Wilson's. The feathers had to go, and a different crease done.

Thoroughbred 10X. It is labeled as “Moleskin finish” but it doesn’t feel any different than my other westerns.

It came with a strange cushioned reducer adhesive strip behind the sweat. It is in good shape and the hat fits fine (it’s a 7 3/4) so I left it.

This 12X is a new one on me...

This hat appeared on a few online sites simultaneously at a surprisingly wide range of prices. I’m well-stocked on this style of hat, but I threw out a very low offer and was surprised that it was accepted.
5 1/2 inch open crown and 3 1/8 inch raw edge brim. Plenty of dirt too.

My latest 10X. The felt on this hat is quite substantial: it’s definitely a cool weather hat. The open crown is 6 1/2 inches so there were lots of options for the crease. The raw edge brim is 3 1/2 inches wide and considerably firmer than the crown, but still nowhere near as harsh and cardboard feeling as say a current Stetson 6X Beaver.

I'm resurrecting this to share my Thoroughbred 10x. I love this hat, but i'm always a little on the fence about wearing it. It's quality is amazing, and it was definitely the look i was trying for, but I don't know that it exactly suits me. I feel like I look amish or prospector-y

I bought it because it was a dead ringer [after some re-blocking and a thorough-bred (nailed it) cleaning] for the Red Dead Redemption 2 Stalker Hat. I included a few pics from the game to show what I was trying to hit.

That being said, I do think a different hat band will go a long way. I just haven't quite found the right one.

Perfect example of the man wearing the hat...not the hat wearing the man!
Wear that hat man!!

You are overthinking.

The hat looks good on you, so wear it and feel good about wearing it for what it is.

Stop worrying about what you wish it was.

Yust my opinion.

10X Quality Thoroughbred. This is some thick substantial felt. Great winter hat…if you live somewhere that has winter. The open crown is about 6 1/2” and the raw edge brim is 3 3/8 inches. The 3-cord western ribbon with a simple knot is a nice touch. Size is 7 5/8 or 61cm.

what a great colour.

My latest: size 7 3/8. The brim is 2 1/2” wide. The crown is fairly soft, but the brim is very stiff. Nice to have the 1983 date on the box.

Nice to have the 1983 date on the box.

Is it a date or (as it states) is it a style number pretending to be a date? Not that it matters ... it's a nice hat and good to have the box regardless.

You know, I was so happy to see what I saw as a date I didn’t think it could be a style number even though the box is clearly marked as such.

Won this brown "George Strait" autographed lid at a charity auction so only wear it on special occasions.

My regular wear Thoroughbred is a dark olive 100% beaver felt in an open Road style.

A nice pair of Thoroughbreds! I have one very similar to your 100%-er, but not as nice.

Happens to all of us......when I first looked at the post I read the 1983 as 1938 and was thinking, no way that hat is from 1938......then I looked again.....

I too have also been fooled by style numbers that need a second look (and sometimes third).
