: The stetson, in mink brown, is as close as the original as I have seen. The cost, I forget, but it is somewhere around 50 to 70 dollars, but an original hat. I will post another email about the type of hat. But mink brown is the Indy color. I have one myself, and I have also got several from Lucas Ranch, and mine match the Ranch's style. I will post the name of the hat. Check "x marks the spot: on the indy page. I have an email there that describes the hat much better. But I will send another email. Thank you, Greg...
I to have purchased the mink brown stetson temple .It is indead a very close match ,and the color does seem right .But to authenticate it even more ,go to a hat shop ,and have them pinch the crown more .Also i believe the brim deminsions are slightily smaller than the original one ,and the crown is not as tall .What is a lucas ranch ,and wear can you find that one ? I would love to here ,and find out more about the hat .It is tough to find a good match .Thank you BILL
