Rawhide Beaver Cowboy Hat

Rawhide Beaver Cowboy Hat Custom Cowboy Hat – Rawhide. The Gil Favor hat from the series Our Rawhide beaver cowboy hat is a new version of the beat-to-crap-hat that the character, Gil Favor, sports as the Trail Boss on the classic western series, Rawhide. Actor Eric Fleming Eric Fleming starred as trail boss Gil Favor, in Rawhide, a widely watched western series of the early 1960s. Mr. Favor (as he was often referred to in the show) was the one who typically introduced each episode. And each episode was titled, “Incident at….” The show was pretty much an endless cattle drive, with the action typically on the trail, or in a town they stop in to get resupplied by. Clint Eastwood played the Lead Hand of the cattle drive, and eventually his portrayal of the rough and tumble, Rowdy Yates, led to Eastwood getting cast in the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Rowdy’s hat Its unclear what the real reason behind Fleming’s exit from the series, but it’s thought it had something to do with a legal dispute and his high salary. Fleming was the glue that held the show together, the series fell apart without him. CBS executives saw just one episode of season 8 without Fleming before cancelling the series.
