A genuine Houston-made American Hat Co. western felt in the most versatile color there is — silver belly gray goes with everything from a suit to a snap-front shirt. It still has the original branded box, which is half the appeal for collectors and Western-wear fans who want the full vintage presentation. Real Texas-made felts from this era are getting harder to find in wearable, un-crushed shape, so this one won't sit long.
