Nice hat! I've had mine for about a year now and to @Tanks' point, now I'm thinking I need a Fedora made by them!

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 have found some new spots the hunt the prairie dogs. I was talking to @Mountainshadows about the places I found the other day. It should be a good time.

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

I have to be in Billings for a week starting this Sunday. Monday morning I plan on going to Rands for a quick steam and re-shape of the rear brim. Always a fun place to visit.

 

[jcs271]

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.
