Western, anyone?
I purchased this hat yesterday from Circle B Western Wear in Brockport, NY. I think this model was called the "Renegade." Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It was new "old stock," from the 80s or 90s. The band reads "4X Beaver," but I don't know the percentage. The color is light pecan. I didn't... -
Leather hats?
I owned a couple of Henschel leather hats, and they made me sweat (perspire) profusely. I will never buy another one. -

Post New Hats Here!
Sorry guys ... no gorgeous felt hat here ... just an inexpensive Dorfman Pacific that I picked up for rainy Spring days here in New York. It looks black but is actually "weathered" brown. The brim is only 2 3/4 inches, though it looks wider because of the Western styling. -
Clint Eastwood's Western Hats
I read somewhere that Eastwood purchased the first "Man With No Name" hat from a store in California before heading to Italy to shoot the first film (A Fistful of Dollars). It was an inexpensive hat, and was not made by a custom hat maker. It wasn't even a new hat, as I recall. -

FS: Akubra Kiandra, Size 62
I have too many Kiandras! One must go! This one is dark fawn. It's much darker than the picture shows. Size 62. Only worn once. Added some stiffener, but that's easily dissolved by spritzing with alcohol. Looks great with a Carhartt jacket. $50.00 shipped- Riot Earp

The Best Custom Western Hat maker!!!
Two words: Akubra Kiandra Inexpensive, rather handsome, a nice band, and you won't be afraid to dirty it up. :D Not a custom hat but worthy of mention. Akubra makes other 'Western' styles also, but the Kiandra is my favorite. -

The Best Custom Western Hat maker!!!
These people are great to deal with: http://www.cmhats.com/ These people powder their felt and aren't the best communicators and so I would avoid them: http://www.texashatters.com/Store/ Your mileage may vary. -
No e-bay hats for big heads
Wow. 7 3/8 to 7 1/2 is tiny to me. I'm a full 7 3/4 (62). -
Akubra Overload
Anything is better than their Santone Fawn, with its yellow hue. I despise that color. I saw a Snowy River in Santone Fawn in a local Western store earlier this month. It looked like someone had coated it with vomit and let it dry overnight. -
Akubra Overload
Got a Stockman on order, size 62, with a ribbon band. The color is "fawn," but which fawn is anybody's guess. Akubra has so many "fawns." -

How do I tie a slim ribbon?
Is there a thread that covers this? Below is the look I want, but I'm having a blonde moment and can't figure out how to tie it this way. Arrrgh. I feel like a total idiot. -

Batsakes Hat Shop in Cincinnati
Was in downtown Cinci the day after Christmas but didn't know about this place. Arrrgh. Oh well ... I did make it to the zoo. :) -
Cowboy Hat Shapers
Wearing your hat makes sense. But those wild upcurls that many "cowboy" hats are known for don't fare well in heavy rains, unless they're 100% beaver, but I've even seen beaver brims sag when wet. That's where the shapers come in handy. You just pop your wet hat into the shaper, and the next...
