You say that because you can.Get that man a hat!
In the pantheon of personal attributes, being able to grow a full beard ranks pretty low.

Oooh, that's a great western, Joe. Fabulous.View attachment 421528
Stetson Nutria Quality Western
Late 1940’s to Early 1950s
Dark Brown Nutria Felt
About 5 inch crown as shaped (prob 6 Open)
Embroidered Stetson Nutria Liner
3 1/4 brim - 3 Ply Ribbon
So I’ve had a hankering for an older brown western. Cause you know…. Gotta keep up with my lack of cattle. Was thinking of something similar to my black Miller Western. Something with a softer older style moldable felt. I came across this Brown Stetson Nutria Quality and thought I could check two boxes at once. Asking price was a bit higher than I would normally want to go but I figured might not have another chance at one like this.
Out of the box it was in pretty decent shape. Still gave it a good brushing to clean up and steam for shape. As expected the Nutria felt is a bit more stiff than beaver/rabbit felts of the era…. Which I believe to be late 1940s to early 1950s…. But still shapes just fine.
I started by opening up the crown and working on the brim some. Then I settled on this center dent and front pinch. The fit and feel is perfect.
All and all it settles in nicely with what I was looking for. I wasn’t looking for a daily wear kinda hat.. but really it feels comfortable for me.

I really hate putting away my felt hats!
Outstanding hats as always, Eric.It has been a Winchester Blue-mist beaver felt day, soooo far.
My walkabout was under the brim of a VS Executive fedora.
Home and some minor yard chores in a Gannon Playboy.
Cheers, Eric -
Another looker, Steve. You know you don't need another black homburg, but these older ones get a pass anyway. I wonder how many different names there were trying to imitate Borsalino.
If it works, it works (and it does). Nice one, Jim.

You could have replied: "I got kids!"It takes a handsome guy to catch a beautiful gal, Brent! Believe it or not, even I was handsome once. That's how I caught Ana View attachment 421759

Unique colour on that one, Steve. Never seen another one like it since.Royal Stetson.
I fell for the colour of this one when I saw it a few years back. A very deep orange/brown.
It's made under license in Germany, so Mayser made. It's similar to another RS I have made by them. That one has a ridge, too. This one, however, has a back bow. Love those. View attachment 421955 View attachment 421956 View attachment 421957
Fantastic hat, Bowen. And a cute pic of Willow to boot.Greetings All:

One of Stetson's finest.
Nice hats and macro shots, Gary.Golden Week (a conglomeration of public holidays) started for me today in Japan. Five days off - I’ve got some pork belly curing in the fridge ready to become bacon.
I don’t usually post on workdays because I wear one of the same three hats every day.
I decided to go for something different today - trying to get another wear out my nicer hats before they go into boxes.
So it was my Tirard to work… View attachment 422197
