    What western did I just buy for $15 at the vintage store?

    Thanks, gentlemen. Yeah, I'm a happy camper for sure. Never even owned a western before!

    What western did I just buy for $15 at the vintage store?

    Ha! It quickly ended up being a tip hat at the gig. Here's one other pic before I went to the store the other day.

    What western did I just buy for $15 at the vintage store?

    Thanks, gentlemen. Don't worry, I'm wearing the heck out of it. I took it for a walk to the grocery store yesterday and only bought one thing. I'm wearing it around the house just to enjoy myself and I'll likely sport it to my gig tonight. It feels plenty soft enough to me for being "water...

    What western did I just buy for $15 at the vintage store?

    I'm not experienced enough to even know what "hand" is much less judge it. I own a Stetson Saxon and two other fedoras. This silverbelly western is stiffer than them and the felt isn't soft to the touch like the Stetson. It's also not plush to look at or touch - like there wouldn't be much to...

    What western did I just buy for $15 at the vintage store?

    This made my week. I own three fedoras but no westerns until Thursday when I found this for $15 at an antique furniture store. I have a really big head (the fedoras are all size 61) so when it fit I had to get it. There is no make listed though, it just says "Royal Quality 5 xxxxx Beaver...

    Okay, sounds like I should mostly be shopping for the same size I wear in a Stetson. Thanks, gentlemen!

    Needing Hat Advice

    Suggestions for bit more taper? I own four hats at present. The three felts are a Stetson Saxon, a Biltmore Senator, and a stingier Tomaz and Williamson (which is another Biltmore, as I understand). Sitting on a table they all stand about the same with 4 1/2" crowns. However, my one straw...

    I'll try posting this here so as not to clutter the forum with a separate thread: If I'm a 60 in Stetson (a Saxon in this case) and 61 in Borsalino (last I checked), what size Akubra would fit me? I'm considering a Stylemaster or similar.
