REally nice hat Alan.In Boulder for a few days, could only fit one western hat. I went back and forth for a few days, then decided on this old Stetson 1X Nutria. It has a Fray sweatband that wears like iron (it's going to be close to 90 here later this week). I dressed it up a bit with a wide horsehair band that I normally wear on another hat. The 1X has a crease a little off center, like me. I once tried to block and coax the crease to the middle, but after almost 100 years, the off-center dent is not giving up the fight. The felt on this hat is particularly smooth and supple with no hint of the toughness with which it wears.
