Western derbys were made for you! That is so cool!I can't even express how excited I am about this hat. It's one I've been jonesing for, for many years, and I finally sold enough hats I didn't wear much to finance this commission.
Texas Hatters has some of the sexiest brim curves I've seen, and this arrival today was a perfect welcome in the gloomy heavy rains and street flooding...
Specs:
Silver Belly western weight beaver blend body, raw pencil curl and matching wide ribbon. 52 block. Perfectly stiff.
I was a little nervous when the box looked beat up a little, and found a significant crease in the crown, which fortunately pretty much steamed right out easily.
To me, it's a badass hat, and I couldn't be happier. Excited to share it with you all.

You made an excellent purchase! Hats don't have to be expensive to be awesome. Nice weave and style.I saw this Goodfellow & Co panama hat among the cheaper wool "fedoras" at Target and despite being only $17, I was surprised by its quality in construction. The one on the rack was too large for me, but thankfully they had my size in the back:

Thanks, Charlie! It was on my list for a while, and I wasn't disappointed.Another stunner!! Congrats, Max!
It’s cool!!The seller was uncertain as to size, but said it was big. I took the chance. It it only just the smallest bit tight and should easily expand to fit.
I haven’t even brushed it yet alone shaped it. A fun weekend project.

Sorry, don't know. Wish I could helpI don't know anything about the hat owner or recognize his name on the sweat. I was referring to the hatter. NCOWS is the National Congress of Old West Shootists. The original hat shop was down in old Council Bluffs & that area has undergone extensive renewal. I can't remember the hatters personal name but he was a mailman by day. He could have moved the shop to Omaha during the CB renewal or sold out.
How he got his start was mading hats for members of NCOWS & SASS. I attended a few NCOWS events including their big convention every Spring. There is a guy who runs the Old West shop at The Fort in Lincoln who could tell you more. Or maybe Scott (Cornshucker77) knows more.
Looks great Jeff.I can't even express how excited I am about this hat. It's one I've been jonesing for, for many years, and I finally sold enough hats I didn't wear much to finance this commission.
