Boss of the Plains?

I would love to find one with the 4'' Crown and 4" brim.

Last Best West advertises a 4" crown, 4" brim version.

I picked up Knudsen's version a few months ago, which they advertise as 4 1/4" tall. It's a nice hat to have in the rotation.

I have the recent limited edition Levis Vintage version made by Stetson. It's a great hat!

A quick diversion:

Do you have any experience with the Last Best West Hats? I'm looking at their The Outlaw Josey Wales hat but I'm not sure of quality/value and fit.

Stetson's Austral was a pretty good replica of BOTP. I don't know if they still make it. I have a black one at home.

No personal experience, no. Apparently they made some hats for Hell On Wheels, a show I really enjoyed though.

 

[Yahoody]

Yes Sir, nice hat.

If you order one I'd be really curious to see how it turns out. There's a couple hats on their site I like, including their "The Thing" hat.

You must have a 4" block?!

The rest is easy.

I don't have a 4" block but I think I know how to make it work. Maybe.

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.

Nice, boss.

Ya, think

Although their website shows it with a ribbon, they will make the hat with or without the ribbon. I'm also not into cosplay or reenactments so authenticity to a movie isn't important to me. I just liked the style.

Here's my Boss:

Made from buffalo fur. How stiff is it?

Yes Sir, nice hat.

Because it's made from buffalo fur I always thought their market was members of SASS, NCOWS, etc.

 

[Yahoody]

Because it's made from buffalo fur I always thought their market was members of SASS, NCOWS, etc.

So few really care about how or what a hat is made of including the majority of the SASS and NCOWS members from what I have seen. Way more rabbit hats in either group I suspect that beaver. I always figured the "buffalo" fur was simply a sales gimmick.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

I always figured the "buffalo" fur was simply a sales gimmick.

I always thought it was because it's cheap.

 

[Yahoody]

I always thought it was because it's cheap.

aint that 1/2 the gimmick on Buffalo?
