Good Morning folks.. Any "Cowboy's/Cowgirl's" want to show their hats? I'd like to see what you have and how it's curled Ron
Havana said:Here are two of my favorites. The first is an Akubra Cattleman pinched and rolled in a 1950's style commonly seen in old westerns. I have three of these in different colors. It's my favorite western style though it is more classic Hollywood than true West. Roy Rogers wore a similar style as did William Holden in the Wild Bunch and Clint Eastwood on Rawhide. The second one is an Akubra Bobby completely reworked into more of a 1920's style. This look was inspired by some old Tom Mix serials. Sadly, this hat has been sold. I love western hats because there's so much latitude for making it your own. The style is really wide open in terms of size, crease, color, brim shape, and even the band.

When cutting cattle it wont come off, the flip side, is that it is kind of tacky and not as comfortable as a regular leather sweat. I originally bought it as a dress hat, now I have a Black Gold Straw for dress and use this hat when I need it to stay put. Both are great hats, just made with differing applications in mind. Hope this helps.

It's funny this thread came up because I have to attend a "Cowboy" Christmas party tonight and I don't own a stitch of Western wear. Too bad I didn't order that cattleman when I first saw Havana's. At least I'd have a darn hat!
