I had my hat for many years . The first avatar on the old site I wore it and was smoking my old Kaywoodie Prince . I dont have that avatar picture forever .. the above pic is the only one .
Anyway , the hat died . It succumbed to a severe mold ... its a long story , but its dead for a number of years . Now , Ive seen many a hat in person and on the web that I could buy , surely , but Im looking for something as similar to " my hat " as I can find and i have never found it . gee willikers

I think this winter Ill break down and just give up on My Hat .. but damn it . I know this picture sucks so its tuff to make out what it looks like .. but I know what it looked like . Ive just not seen another

Anyway , I dont know why Im even posting this thread . Im just wanting the old hat ... winter will be here asap and ill have another without it . Sounds stupid , I know , but I like another like it or at least really close . I wish I could get a better pic of it so that if anyone were to see on way similar ... to give me a heads up

Im not sure ... wool / felt ... it was a perfect shape . So many brown hats have that Raiders of the lost arc thing going on , which I cant do . Many " cowboy " hats are too tall and then theres the squatty kind , like a gamblers hat ... cant do those either . Gotta be the right height , which my hat was

Looks like a Royal Deluxe with a thick band.

Kinda similar to this hat but half the height and regular brown . The band was similar to the above also , which figures , given its a hat from the 70's

How did I miss this thread in 2021? Did you find your hat, Ruff? @Ruffinogold
