Fedora hats in larger sizes?
7 5/8 is not that big really. You can still find most factory made hats, and there are lots of options on eBay. Once you make the step to 7 3/4 or above, the prices really seem to jump. I'm most comfortable in a 7 7/8, and not only is that nearly impossible to find in vintage, when I do find... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
I believe I scared him a little. I actually sort of forced him off the road, which could be construed as life or death in that part of town. I had to catch him before he got back to our completely incompetent post office, or I'd never have seen that hat again. He seemed relieved I just wanted... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Well, it took several hours of driving around, staking out my old house, and finally chasing the postman down the street, but I got my VS safe and sound. I asked Art to make me a Seabiscuit-style hat, and I specified a wider brim and a tall crown as I am not a small person. It's standard... -

Western, anyone?
Good looking hat. Wear the crap out of it, and if you need to get the sweat loose someday, send it to Optimo or Mike Moore. I like that color a lot. Frank -
Miller/Biltmore "Open Door" OR clone 7 3/4 Silverbelly
I just received a similar hat from Art, and I've got two ORs and a Heritage Campdraft on the way, so this one won't be getting much wear. Still only has a simple center dent, so virtually a blank canvas for the next owner. Nice thin felt similar to my old Stratoliner, little lighter shade of...- frussell

Western, anyone?
My new to me gigantic size 8 Resistol Diamond Horseshoe from Casechopper. After a good cleanup and wet-down with clean water from a spray bottle. Really keeps the sun out of my eyes as-is. Re-shaping, shrinking and tweaking to come. If not successful, I believe my wife and I will use it as a... -

Jeff - good to see that Montgomery getting out of the house. Looks way better on your head than mine. Glad it worked for you. Frank -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Got my shipping notice through USPS this morning, saying my new VS was in the mail. Been excited all day, until I got home and re-checked it just for giggles and noticed it was headed to an address I haven't been living at since May. Normally this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the area where I... -

Western, anyone?
Great job. I thought about buying one of those a few weeks ago, they pop up from time to time. The hat band was the one thing that stopped me. That's a hat I would wear now. Frank -
Noob here, question about large hat sizes...
ZxRO - When you get enough posts, PM me. I recently got a hat that might work for you. Thanks, Frank -
Western, anyone?
bowlerman - the part near Palm Springs. Once you get past the golf courses, it's all desert around here, and temperatures can be similar to Death Valley. Frank -
Western, anyone?
bowlerman - you could easily put a "Gus" type crease in that hat, and some "mule kick" dents at the back to lower the crown some more. If the brim is too big and you're not going to have it kettle curled, get a 1/8" brim cutter from Hawkeye Tack and trim it down to where you want it. I like... -

Lefty, I believe my grandfather still has a Dobbs 25 in his closet. If I remember correctly, it looked like an Open Road clone. I'll have to check it out. Frank -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
My niece and her family, all originally from El Salvador, watch the Little House re-runs all the time. The first time Merlin Olsen was on the show, my mother in law was absolutely convinced that I was on her TV set. I make her call me Mr. Garvey now. As to the earlier comments about Jewish... -
The Other Open Roads.....
This really belongs in the western thread, but in response to those photos of the hot pink brims, I saw hats this weekend I wouldn't wear on a bet. Lots of hair-on cowhide brims, all sorts of neon colors, brims with tooled leather above and below, and that was just on the men. This is not the... -
The Other Open Roads.....
Got her to wear the Resistol again today. The second photo shows the height difference, and why she might need a smaller brim, especially if I need to dance with her. Frank http:// http:// -

fmw - I had a pair of Montie Montana's old boots when I was a kid that made those look downright tame. If I recall, they had multicolor butterfly overlays, with Montie's double M insignia. bowlerman - you live in cowboy country, there should be a hatter who could do a kettle curl for you... -
The Other Open Roads.....
Thank you gentlemen. She would certainly be easier to buy for, as she fits the 6 7/8 to 7 range that I always see heartbreaking deals on eBay in. She's only about 4'11", so regular sized cowboy hats make her look like she might tip over. We make quite a pair, as I'm 6'5" without the hat and...
