You are an inspiration, Jack. Every day you post, I think, "Tomorrow, I need to wear my .... hat".

Haha! Thanks Randy! Glad I can sometimes be a positive influence.

Wearing a hat should be a lifestyle & not a fashion thing. Start ‘em early.

Love that one Greg!

I made a weak attempt at something similar today (but with many more holes in them). All American Royal related pins.

Looks like we have a few complimentary hats, Bama, as well as complimentary dogs.

Thanks, Bob. A lot of these hats have turned up over the last four years or so and most are covered up with pins. I looked at one in my size that the seller said held over 80 pins. Can't imagine what it weighed. I lucked out as mine held only 4 pins and two of them were the Saddle & Sirloin enamel filled sterling pins so, at least they were keepers.

No limit to our good tastes, Randy.

I’m waiting for one the the shirts from Saddle & Sirloin Club 1955 in the lower left corner to turn up in my size.

That would be perfect. You've got the finest of these hats I've seen turn up. Notice the tie or bandana with the S&S emblem?

Thanks! I did notice & think it’s a bandana. Never seen one in person.

What a hat, Greg. Love the boots too!

Thank you, Joe.

A beat-up Western I got out of curiosity. 4 inch brim, 6 1/2 inch open crown. Looks pre- WW 2 to me.

I think you've got a Big Bill there, Mike.

Wow! That would be great if this hat could actually be identified. It just so happens that the absolute only remnant of writing on what remains of the sweatband is what looks like a letter "L". See pic below. Coincidence? It doesn't look like it's part of the elaborate Big Bill logo on your hat. Your's and mine have the same type of mfg tags.

This is Lt. Chris Olivarez of the "Texas Department for Public Safety". I like this hat! A nice full Cattleman and the brim is curled just right, and not that 'shovel nose' creased brim. The crown and the brim are proportionate to the other. I know it's the typical modern Silverbelly Western, but I still like it....

Ja, looks like a different font, too. But yours looks very similar to mine. I'll wager yours is either a Big Bill or a BB clone.

Miller of Denver, CO.. 3 1/2 inch brim, 5 1/2 inch open crown. The Miller logo on sweatband is silver debossed instead of gold. I think this is the only silver one I've seen or recall. Does this mean it's an early Miller? It was advertised as a 30's hat but there are no mfg tags. The felt is thick and very soft and pliable.

 

[MikeinRome]

I did find another Miller of Denver hat with silver logo debossing on the Lounge. It's a hat I believe I've mentioned in some other discussion. It's a 4X hat with "Protecto" on the sweatband. It's owner guessed it was a 40's or earlier hat.
