Western, anyone?

Resistol xxxxx

Should have fun with this one

Original pictures made it look yellow. Was pleasantly surprised to find in hand that it was a nice mid gray. Excellent felt. Classic all the way. Will have it off to the hatter for cleaning. Could not help smiling at how classic western it is.

Western hat

The best, and one I have and might actually wear: Seth Bullock's from Deadwood. Black wide brimmed Homburg style with dark gray brown grosgrain trim and large standing pencil roll.

Must have pics I like that wide brim banker hat.

CJ, Wool aside, those westerns look very good on you. I like the Hondo. You wear the style well.

Justdog, How wide is the brim on that Resistol? It looks like an OR clone but that's probably due to the cattleman block. Nice hat.

filfoster, We need pictures.

Thanks to the craftsman who made it. 3 inches exact with curled sides. Silvery beaver color like my 7x but the felt is not quite as finished, see what happens when its cleaned. Its the cattleman but not OR at all. Very unique hand crease.
Nice wool resistols.

Why thank you Carter...I bought them when I first started in Cowboy Shooting.
Is it cowboy enough to come hang with you Texas?[huh]

 

[carter]

Absolutely!

I just bought the David Morgan version of the Akubra Bushman. It comes open crown, but has great potential as a rancher or cowboy hat. It has a bound 3-1/4" brim and a fairly high (5-5/8") straight-sided crown. The felt is stiffer than typical fine fedoras, but way more flexible than a lot of cowboy hats these days. These are reputed to be incredibly durable.

Open crown:

Bashed into an elongated diamond with long side creases and the brim snapped down in front. All my western boots are rancher style (low heel, round toe). I like to think of this as a rancher hat. My boots and this hat style are very compatible:

And just to show some of the versatility of this hat, here's one treatment David Morgan gave one to show its cowboy potential. It's trimmed with a David Morgan hatband of braided kangaroo leather:

Stetson Clear Beaver

This is a Stetson Clear Beaver 7x LO. Pretty much new. Bound edge reeded sweat. Darker silver gray. Hand creased. Westerns may not be for everyone but this can cross over as a dress hat. 2 7/8 brim.

Also has a small silver cowboy pin attached to the ribbon.
Accurately dated to 1956

Late 1970's Resistol Stagecoach...

I had this hat before Urban Cowboy craze but it wasn't in the Montana Peak crease it is now. It has been with me riding the mechanical bull at Mother's Country Showcase...
