    They do for me to.

    Mark can make the curl as big as you need.

    Western, anyone?

    You are ironing the brim by pushing the iron down on the curl. I'll take a photo when I get home.

    Western, anyone?

    I use the iron to push the crease down from the outside the brim. Never tried it this way.

    If you don't have a tool to curl it with, take a steam iron and iron the curl in by folding the edge as you go along. Easy to do.

    I think a Rabbit and Beaver mix is the best and most durable. But Beaver feels nice and is easy to work with.

    I'd lose the binding and ribbon. Very 1970's.

    RJ Preston is a great hat maker (he also makes hats, but mostly Sombreros) and a great guy.

    I believe the hats for "Lonesome Dove" were made by Texas Hatters. http://www.texashatters.com/famousclientsfriends.html

    So you are saying that one of the best hat makers around didn't know how to fit Sam Elliot properly? If so, why does he continue to use him?

    Tom Hirt made many hats for Sam Elliot. He told me that the shape of his head caused the dip of his brim.

    Try RJ Preston Sombreros for a true Sugarloaf.

    Boss of the Plains?

    I know their hats are high quality. I just don't like their Josey Wales hat because it doesn't look like the one in the movie. The one in the movie didn't have a ribbon on it.

    Try Winchester Hats for blanks. 5% beaver to 100%. Most of the top hat makers use them. Nice people too.

    Captain Woodrow F Call

    Here is the "Captain Call" I made for a friend who was working at the Lonesome Dove Reunion here in Ft. Worth last year. You might recognize the two men with him. Both were in "Longmire", and A. Martinez (on left) was in "The Cowboys" with John Wayne as well as many other films.

    The classic Cowboy hat?

    Thank you.

    The classic Cowboy hat?

    I do. I fix up old hats and make them look older and make new ones too.

    Here is why there are so many tiny and so few large vintage hats

    I think all those vintage hats belonged to kids or young adults who out grew them. That is why I don't take orders on vintage hats. Too hard to find the size and color the client wants.
