Yup. That's true enough. You have to get the dimensions just right for it look good. I'm a 7 1/4. So for me a 5 3/4 open crown and a brim width of 2 5/8 - 2 3/4 works perfect but may not work for somebody else. Block shape and crease type is also something to consider for someone's size and face... -

Western, anyone?
Here's a couple of old school Westerns that I refurbished. The lighter one is a 3X Resistol and the other one is a Knox Stagecoach. Both sport a Montana Pinch with a Mule Kick in the back. The Knox has a 7 inch open crown and a 4 1/2 inch brim width with a 1/4 pencil curl. Before and After... -
Western, anyone?
Never the less, it's still a nice collection of Westerns you posted. If your thread does get moved to the 'Western Anyone' thread you'll actually have the benefit of greater visibility for that fine collection of yours. That thread gets a good deal of traffic by Loungers who also love the... -
Short Brimmed Cowboy
Well, to me, it looks like we can say that there's different variations of the Western, (cowboy), hat, as seen by the many pictures posted here. Short brimmed, Mid brimmed, and Wide brimmed. People readily recognize all three variants as Cowboy Hats. I wear all three variations, myself. Anyway... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Wearing a custom Western that I made for myself. The color is Millinery Warehouse's Carbon Steel, one of the easiest felts I ever worked with. What we cooked today? Gotta try some of this! Good ol' cajun eatin' (Warning: Language) Jambalaya -
Hat making?? Learning Millinery..
I had Miss Cotrell in the 3rd grade. She never seemed too impressed with me even though I was the only kid in class who shaved and had a driver's license. -

I had a lot of good phone conversations with Mark. He was a friend. It was a real shock when he passed. -
Hat making?? Learning Millinery..
I flunked ABCs in the Third grade. Aside from that, Third grade was the best five years of my life. :) -
Hat making?? Learning Millinery..
Hey! How come you put my name last! ;) (just kidding). Anyway, regarding Westerns, (which I love doing), I remember Mark Havens telling me once, (shortly before he unexpectedly passed away), that the 'working cowboys' in his area wanted their hats stiff, the stiffer the better. Those hats had... -
