Kevin O'Farrell Durango Vintage Custom Felt Western Hat + Factory Metal Hat Box
Vintage custom-made O'Farrell felt hat plus metal storage box. This hat is the second of two custom hats made for my now 86 year-old father by Kevin O'Farrell in Durango, Colorado back in 1988. When my father picked up the hat he had originally ordered, he and Kevin O'Farrell agreed that the right side of the crown was "soft" and should be remade. Before leaving the store, Dad asked Kevin what he was going to do with the imperfect hat. Long story short, my dad worked with the "imperfect" hat until he was happy with it and has worn it for the past 35 years. The hat offered in this listing is the second (replacement) hat Kevin made for my dad. It has primarily been stored in its box in a closet and has never been worn outside. The hat sports only a couple of very minor blemishes as shown in the photos. From a smoke-free, but occasionally cat-occupied home in a nice dry climate.
