That's a great Dude, dude [emoji4]. I really like the "forward-backward" shape of the crown.Pup-pup and I are dog sitting our sons Australian Shepherd. And the Dude abides. I need to work on a few moth bites, Lonestar Dude has a big one at the crown and one big one under the front brim. Not really worrying about them as they add character to this already unusual hat, just want to pull them out a little.

Thanks Hat. I got this one a year or two ago when it was auctioned off as NOS from a closed hat shop. It's not vintage, but not new either. Made in Canada. A very dense felt.I like that a lot, Michael.
Vintage?

Autumn? What is autumn? [emoji4]Autumn kicked in today, so it was a good opportunity to wear this chocolate brown, velvet Panizza Super.

That RD definitely has the look Bowen, as do you. It most certainly clicks with me, too. Great ribbon size, style and contrast. Love the height and shape of that one. What's not to like? [emoji4]View attachment 183841 View attachment 183842 View attachment 183843 Greetings All:
Today....it’s a vintage 50’s Stetson RD and sentimental favorite of mine. It’s color defies capture and the faded ribbon gives rise to an ever changing contrast. The nicely appointed over welt treatment adds to it’s appeal imho. This hat was my first hat that “had the look” that clicked with me and it still clicks every outing.
Thanks go to Ed at Vintage_Toys_Comics for digging it out of the stacks!
Be well. Bowen
You're absolutely right about those ribbons. Call it age, fading, patina, or whatever, but they take on their own personality.View attachment 183841 View attachment 183842 View attachment 183843 Greetings All:

Nobody, i mean nobody can write a hat description like Ed. You’d think you were reading a love story. Made you want to buy the hat without even seeing it.You're absolutely right about those ribbons. Call it age, fading, patina, or whatever, but they take on their own personality.
One of my first, an Adam, was one I got from Ed. He still pops up in the hat section occasionally.

I have a couple Biltmore. Probably 70s. Nice hats. Well built, but a little dense in the felt, like you said.Thanks Hat. I got this one a year or two ago when it was auctioned off as NOS from a closed hat shop. It's not vintage, but not new either. Made in Canada. A very dense felt.
Thanks,

He's built like Sundance, but with a much prettier coat.Great info on the aussie cattle dogs. This one our son rescued from the pound about 2 yrs ago all we know he's around 6 now. Excellent temperament and puts put with our little yapper very well. Outside they both run like the wind and pup-pup keeps up with him every step of the way.
