$29.50 in 1934 was a lot for a hat! Not sure I could wear a 6” brim.

Well I am sure whomever would wear it would have to leave it pegged on the porch wall........not sure it could get through a doorway!

Summer tends to be my season for wearing a lot more of my westerns shamelessly. This No. 1 Quality arrived today, and I was eager to share it.

Early morning coffee run in my 1991 Worth-Walden 15X. It's Silverbelly but very much a cream color.

Great hats, and great bandanas. I'll say there is nothing like a facemark to make me wonder how anyone could possibly live in proximity to me. Reflexive breath is terrible. Maybe that's why I still live alone.
On another note, got a good source for those bandanas? That style is right up my alley, and I haven't seen anything like them since I stopped at the side of the road in the 90s driving through the Navajo Nation.

Very nice, Jeff. It’s good to see you back on the hat forum too. Hope all this year’s craziness is passing you by.

That's a great one Jeff & I would be eager to wear it too. I bought a similar No. 1Q to yours last fall. It's in need of a bath & I hate doing that stuff, so it still awaits.

Glad to hear from you!

I like Native American & geometric patterns, some paisley & Victorian patterns. You have to watch the fabric blends & the size (most vintage bandanas are just too small for me to do much with) but I've just been buying online.

Here’s you one, HJ. Temps stayed below 80° and it was a fine day to air out an OR and an example of one of the latest ways I’ve found to spend money; Wild Rags from Wyoming Traders. Working cowbell scarf slide.

Just now seeing this BB. Great colors & pattern to go with about any shirt! And as always the LD OR is top notch!

Thanks, HJ. That’s 1 of 3 SW patterns picked up during the 10-56 purchase made during the sale I found. I like the patterns, getting used to the colors.

Just look at those No 1s!

Did you see this?? VERY similar to yours AND in the same Standard Quality!!! Look at the description.."City, Riding, or on the Ranch"....
Precursor to the OR.....

Wow! That is about as close as I’ve seen. I bet that is it! Thanks!

Finally found a good affordable-ish brim curling tool and finished shaping my hat. Started off as an Akubra Woomera, now it's this.

Next step is putting a bigger ribbon on it, which I have no idea how to do.

Now it looks more like a high crowned Kentucky Rancher than a Woomera. Looking forward to seeing the finished hat.

This hat I saved a picture of a long time ago was my inspiration, I got close enough to be happy with it.

You’ve done a good job. What did you use to curl the brim?
