Thanks BB. I got it out to push it open, check the blocking & measure it up before I decide about a total rebuild or not. It has a very nice 2" sweat that I would hate to see replaced in a rebuild.

I'm not aware of a convention in SC. In the 70's I attended the FFA National convention in Kansas City. I'm not sure how SC and FFA would fit. Maybe an Iowa State judging event. I have a nephew who is an ag instructor and FFA Advisor in Nebraska maybe he could shed some light. If he knows anything I'll report back.

Michael A (@Michael A) said he attended in 1969 from either IA or MN. It was during the wk that Easy Rider premiere nationally.

Windy day calls for an open crown.
Hat color and the lighting is giving that hatband a different look, a good one all around.

Thanks BB. I usually only wear chocolate thru the fall & winter months. I was liking this hat open crown & was looking for about a 13/16 to 1-1/8 chocolate ribbon but when I unboxed the hat this fall I dropped this horsehair on it & liked the look. The red doesn't show up much in the pic due to the exposure but the red & green in the natural horsehair really shows up against the chocolate. And the width is good for the hat too. I'll take it back off when I box up the hat in early Spring.

I was in KC in 1976. Saw Tanya Tucker sing at the American Royal Rodeo. That was cool.

Yes, I can believe seeing an 18-year-old Tanya Tucker sing would indeed have been very cool!

That is such a cool hat! I love the old Resistols. The brown sweat, gold piped red liner says early sixties to me. I was an FFA member from '71-'74. Would love to find one in my size. Great find!

Spruced up the No. 1, it’s sized to the Max and barely fits, but I dig it.

Thanks, Dale! It’s got a matching butterfly/turquoise pendant on the other side of the band. Was hoping to find a similar rope design in the silver but they’re not easy to come by.

I've posted this before but keep an eye on those all metal hatbands. They do move around & will cut a grove in the felt over time.
