    Steam shaping cowboy hats: Photos

    Hi everyone! I just got back from working the Deerfield Fair in New Hampshire USA. A good friend of mine custom fits cowboy hats, and oh, man is this a lot of fun! I thought I was just selling hats and cowboy boots, but really, this is something much more; you should see the joy as people get a...

    James Dean Straw Cowboy Hat

    Hey guys. I always thought this hat James Dean wore on the set of Giant was kind of crazy and cool. Anyone have any clue what it is? Or a modern equivalent? I did a quick search on the Lounge but didn’t see anything. Apologies if it’s already been talked about. Thanks!

    FREE Brown wool Catalena Hatters 7 3/8 western hat

    I recently bought this hat thinking it was fur felt but immediately upon touching it it became apparent that it’s wool. The hat is free to whoever wants it: just pay shipping. It will cost $17 or less to anywhere in the contiguous US.

    How to travel with hats

    I've spent years traveling, the last five alone a couple of times per month between NY and Houston, but have never taken my hats...excepting, perhaps, one that I might have worn. What I've learned, if anything, is how to travel light and unencumbered. What do you guys do when you want to take...

    Miller Fine Hats western size 7

    After holding onto it for a couple months I’ve decided to let this go as it’s far too small for me. It’s on eBay, but I’ll make Lounge members a deal if they want it outside of eBay. eBay auction has starting price of $100. The details on the hat can be found in the eBay listing...

    New VS Vintage Stetson Hats

    Am considering buying a stetson hat. Looking specifically at the Firenze, Pinnacle or maybe temple. I like the midsize brims, around 2 1/4 inch so probably Firenze. I wonder what the Firenze hat looks like, it is a silk finish. Is it shiny? Some pictures show shininess, others dont so much...

    New midrange cowboy hat quality difference

    I'm a urban Texas guy but wear a cowboy hat almost every day. I tried them as an experiment for the first time about 5 years ago, purchasing inexpensive hats, one wool felt by Justin, one palm leaf (store brand, but almost certainly actually a Sunbody), each in the $50-$60 range. I'm about ready...

    The age & possible value of a Stetson hat?

    Hi.. I'm wondering if someone can help me out? I'm actually trying to help out a friend of mine whose son has recently passed away and she found this Stetson hat of his that he never wore.

    Longmire cowboy hat

    If you haven't seen Longmire, you need to. It places 2nd next to my beloved Lonesome Dove. Here is my question for you: I just fell in love with his hat. Unfortunately I can not afford. It is custom made by O'Farrell Hat Company out of Santa Fe, NM. It is a RCA #30. Walt’s actual hat is our...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    This seems to work on other sites, so I figure that it deserves a shot here. If you've got a quick hat question and don't see a thread for it, just post it here. Whether the question is about cleaning, anatomy of a hat, brands, etc., this is the place. Here's one to break the ice.

    Resistol NFR 40th Anniversary (1998) Cowboy Hat 6X Beaver Never Worn Sz 7 1/8

    Hard to believe anything from 1998 is vintage. What does that make me? This hat is never worn, brand new condition. Tags are still in the lining. This is a rare find. A current Resistol 6X in this style is $200-$225. With the pristine condition, rarity and National Finals Rodeo connection, I am...
