And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

LBJ was gifted a similar hat by Amon Carter. The shapers were the Peter Brothers in Fort Worth TX. It was named the Shady Oak. Will Rogers got one too. Still made by the family. Amon Carter gave away thousands of the hats. He was labeled "world's greatest retail hat customer."
These days; $10-$50 dollars would buy you a new hat band.
