What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Today, Sunday, December 15th, I am spoiled for choice.
I have put them on the podium in order my favorites
Thanks Stefan for your help in increasing the black hats.
Soon I will help you with the colored ones

Grazie, Daniele.

I scored this yesterday from a lady in a nearby small town. It’s a Resistol 3X beaver Ranger, and based on the price tag on the inside, I'd place the vintage around 1961 to 1966. The lining and sweatband are both gorgeous and in AMAZING condition. The retailer, “Alexander’s”, was a multi-state chain begun in 1891 by Moses Alexander, who went on to serve two terms as Boise’s mayor, and subsequently two terms as Idaho’s governor.

Despite its workmanlike name, this is very definitely a dress hat, not a “working western” model of that era. The felt is incredibly thin and lightweight, on a par with my lightest vintage fedora.

From your pics, the pouncing on this hat is amazing! The finish looks exceptionally smooth. Great find!
