What hat are you waiting for today?

Just picked up a cute little older Philadelphia Stetson Bowler on the bay! I actually have a need for a bowler... I shoot a flintlock rifle and anything over 2" brims get powder burns. That and a cool old hat just meshes well with a cool old rifle!

I'm very impressed! I used to have a fantasy that I would get involved with these old style firearms, but it never came to pass.

About late 1930's Knox fedora with 2 1/2 inch Cavanagh type edge. Bought on eBay from Brent. Hat has no liner. The mfg tag is one of those odd ones that appear in the late 30's and reappear in the early 50's, but the style tells me it's an early hat.
