Western, anyone?
Use 38s in your 357, or you may not have much card left after 3 rounds. I may sell some old hat bands here soon, including one tooled leather with a sterling buckle set, and a horsehair band or two. I've gotten away from wearing them on my cowboy hats the last few years. Good luck on your... -
High Crown
I'm real happy with the high crowned dress hat I got from Tony B. at Tumwater Hats. Check out his website. Most hats I try don't have enough crown, but this one has room to spare. Frank -

SOLD Size 63 Glen Grey Campdraft
It's a comfortable 63 on me, as I wear a 62, but have an extra long oval. I answered your PM. Buyers - I will include some of Akubra's sizing strips with this hat. I haven't worn it enough to "snug it down" yet. Thanks, Frank- frussell

Stetson 4X Rancher, big size 7 7/8 unworn
This is a Stetson Rancher, in Silverbelly, which is really more like Akubra's tan-flavored Silverbelly. Unworn, got it from the outlet, but paid close to retail. 4" brim, cattleman crown. I'd be happy to get $70 shipped UPS via PayPal for this hat. I went a little crazy with the cowboy hats...- frussell

Stetson Montgomery Western 6X size 7 3/4, unworn condition
This is what appears to be a brand new, unworn "Alan Jackson Montgomery" Stetson. It has a grey leather sweat, a self-band with a gold colored Alan Jackson signature tag on it. Nice liner, everything appears unused. I don't believe this model exists any more. 6X quality, 3 1/2" brim, 4"...- frussell

Black hat: Akubra Bogart, Stylemaster, other?
I'm very partial to my Fed IV Deluxe in black. Frank -
HAT COUNSELLOR - Are they extinct?
When I lived in Houston, the man who ran the Hat Store (which I believe was a continuation of American Hat Co.) would give just such advice, on western and dress hats alike. He had been working with hats since boyhood, and had excellent taste on what would best suit your face, body shape and... -
Nostalgia Owners
The outlet is actually under the Resistol name. The phone is: (972) 494-0337. I still like my Nostalgia very much, but I'm glad I didn't pay retail, because I suspect mine is like the one described above that was too soft. The felt on the crown of my Caribou (beautiful color, one of my... -

Akubra Campdraft
I go one size up, since Akubras have a tendency to "snug down." If you are a 7 3/4, go size 63, wear the felt strips in front and back, or put it on a stretcher at night. I'm an extra long oval, and my Campdrafts have all adjusted well, same with the Fed IVs I've had. The extra size should... -
The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
I have (had) one of the sterling pins from www.1903.com, and was satisfied with the workmanship, and the price of $16.95. They have lots of great museum quality pins. Frank -
The Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon
marshack - I'm in nearly the same boat as you, and Campdrafts work just fine for me. I'm a 7 3/4 extra long oval, more or less, and usually order a size 63 and let it settle down to my size after a few weeks of wear. I've got a similar hat on order from Biltmore through Miller Hats, I'll post... -

Modern Stetson Open Road
Tom - yes, the hat came with the branding iron pin (at least from Delmonico's, not sure about other vendors). As soon as I get this sucker to stick in a long oval shape, I'm going to be absolutely satisfied. Much better than expected overall. Frank -
Modern Stetson Open Road
I've got a vintage OR 25 that's in a simple center-dent fedora crease, but I wanted to give the old-school cattleman a try, as that's what I grew up seeing in Texas. I like the brim down as well, but it's tempting to give the 1960s Dallas PD brim-up look a whirl. Unfortunately, at my size, I'm... -
Modern Stetson Open Road
I broke down and got a modern OR, mostly just to see if my impressions of the new ones were correct. I am pleasantly surprised at the felt quality. Loads better than Stetson's other "western" 4X modern hats, seems to have had much more finishing or pouncing. Stiff as hell, round as hell, but... -
Hat to large
Heat is definitely a factor. Some of the vintage hats I've had which were spotless, looked unworn, or NOS, might have been exposed to heat. Leaving a hat in a hot car, next to a heater, fireplace, campfire, etc..., can shrink the best of felt, but will often leave the hat looking unwarped and... -
