Smashing!

The hat is great but I think the Pendleton steals the show today! Very nice, sir, you've motivated me to look for a jacket instead of a hat for once!

Seldom seen pre-WWII high end Stetson... c.1938.

STUNNING 5x CB, Alan! Don’t recall seeing this one, is it a newer find for you? Love the liner and Porters stamping, thanks for sharing.

Sure... I've had this hat for eight years, purchased from a venerable Fedora Lounge hat wrangler. There is another very interesting 5x and a few later ones shared on this thread.

I always enjoy seeing this one.

OK, folks, it's time to pack it in. There are no other hats to be seen here. Alan has the best, so let's enjoy his pictures and retire from the hat world happy we got to see it!

<Smiling> thanks, but in reality there is a ton of good stuff buried like treasure in them thar hills. I just happen to still be walking the trails and posting pictures. It's a shame that so many older photos are unavailable, but it is still worthwhile bumping old threads and catching up on what we've forgotten.

Hats of the old times and, fortunately, our time. Thanks for sharing Alan.

Thanks Perry.

That’s a great hat Ken.
Are you dead set on a telescope??
If not see the post before you.
Nutria can’t go wrong no matter what.

Finally got the telescope out of the nutria.

I like it better without the telescope. That liner is one of the best.

Did some digging on the history of this Nutria Hat. To the best of my knowledge, It appears to be from the late 1920's to the late 1930's. This is based on the sweatband showing it is from the H.W. Starr Saddle Shop on 530 Broadway in Oakland, CA. Per Oaklands local museum records, The H.W. Saddle shop moved several times and was briefly located at 530 Broadway. There is a vintage photo of a man on a horse, taken in 1938, outside the shop and a movie theater showing "Out West With the Hardys" This along with the hand embroidered liner and older style Stetson logo makes this the oldest hat I own. When I got it it had a round flat crease and I just recently reshaped it to a more tradtional western hat to my liking.

This is a little alcove off the living room and a perfect place to grab a hat before heading outside. Hats are, left to right, Havstad, O’Farrell, and Rand
