This Ol' Hat

After growing up in Texas, Barney moved to Cimarron NM in 1983. He spent much of his life working on the big ranches in Colfax County NM. In 1989 he hired onto Vermejo Park Ranch for 30 days, and wound up spending 28 years there as livestock foreman. In 2017 he moved to Artesia, NM to be closer to family. Shortly after that, he got the opportunity to learn the basics of hat making from Tom Hirt of Colorado and ThisOl'Hat was launched. All hats are hand crafted in New Mexico USA.
