Got my first in 2024, they are great hats. I think mine is called a sporting clays in a dark grey color. Yours looks great, I like the style and color

Congratulations and beware, they tend to multiply.

Funny you say that- I'm already wondering what my next one will be!
 
You guys need to let me know when you are coming through Billings and we can have a beer! I’m in Laurel
 
I got my first one in 1991, and have worn it both horseback and afoot for untold thousands of miles. Here's a quick picture of when I was out wolf hunting a couple of years ago.

I picked up a second one in 1999 that I have tried to keep a little nicer for social functions. :)

Every time I go through Billings I bring one of them in for a little steam touch up to the brim. It's fun to go there and they are always happy to see their old hats come in well worn and still going strong.
 
They are special, but as @Tanks correctly notes they do multiply.

But get a Rand if you do not already own one.

Ya better call me, it would be good to see you
 
I just ordered my first Rands. 100% beaver natural color. 6 months wait.
I’ve got racks full of nice 4X through 10X as far back as the 1980s
One 1950 one hundred percent beaver.

But this is my first custom made 100% beaver
 
Beautiful hat, Congratulations!!
 
Popped in to their shop on Monday morning and had them steam and reshape the back brim.

Pretty funny when the young lady who helped me pointed out that she was only 2yrs old when I bought that hat in '99.

I spent about an hour there just checking out different styles and watching the staff along the back wall build new hats. Great shop and its well worth a look if you are in Billings MT.

Hello,
I might be able to help you out depending on how many you need. I could probably spare 50-75 .285g A-Frames. They are factory pulls that look like new. Let me know if you are still looking,
Thanks,
Gary
