This is the best hat I've seen on you yet! Very handsome. Can you show us a pic with the full crown showing? What was the price? How is the quality?

Thanks Betty, I bought the blank and built it myself. It has served me well for the past two years. I have 1 more blank and if things ever slow down I plan on building another.

First vintage hat post...

... so be gentle:) This is a 8X Stetson cowboy that I found in an antique shop for $5. It belonged to a (I assume) rancher named Allen Tysdale who had his name embossed on the sweatband, and had not been kept up over the years; it was a work hat. The liner had been removed, leaving the glue residue, and the embossing on the sweatband was very faded. Unfortunately, I neglected to take 'before' pics of it, but here are the 'after' shots following a makeover by Brad at Star of the West in Rapid City. He tells the hat is at least 30-35 years old, model unknown, so I just said to put a cattleman's crown on it a'la Open Road. Don't mind the dates on the photos, my camera's a little messed up[huh]

Digital battery went dead before I could get someone to take a full view. It's charged now, but I'm home alone after a big day watching the "kids". This is my Gameday Hat with a tasteful pleated skirt and makeup. Hope you don't think I'm a sissy, this is just my feminine side. It's a couple years old, but you get the idea.

Thanks so much everyone! I posted more details and another pic of where I went in the what are you wearing today thread.

And Mr. Dean, you are one of the few men I have seen who can wear a newsboy hat and look great!

Mr. JT, I do not want to play poker with you in that hat! You have the "steely eyed" stare that will win every time.

And welcome Mr. AirForceIndy! Now we just need a pic of you in the hat to make it complete.
