An old western hat in my collection, but how old? I’m not sure. Not at all sure of the maker. The sweatband seems to be a replacement from a dry cleaner. At some point it was glued (ugh) into the hat.
At 7″ open crown and 4″ brim, this is a BIG hat. I’m in the process of steaming and reshaping it to its original creases. I think it’s getting close, with just the remnants of a long established low telescope crown remaining.
