Western, anyone?

Couple of quick shots of a new hat of mine from Havstad Hat Company. This one is kind-of a modified Gus that Cate made for me. This color is one she dyes herself using desert sage.

I like it a lot! These new-school hatters are doing some very cool things with double and triple dying the felts to get new looks.

Thanks Mark. As BB said, the style is among my 3-4 favorites too.

Any 7XCB or Stetson One-Hundred deserves to rest in one of these. I've only seen one in person.

Maybe DD can do some leather carving?

That's a beauty. I've never seen one in person. One came up for auction awhile ago that. once belonged to singer Hank Snow, I believe. It would hold a hat and a pair of cowboy boots. Probably in one of Marty Sturart's warehouses.

When I saw these pics I thought of Mike Barranti and how much he might charge to create something like this... $$$$

There used to be almost monthly, then quarterly Western memorabilia auctions around here but now we're down to only one or two a yr, & you have to drive 200 miles to get to those. I remember a similar leather hat case going thru one of those auctions a long time back.

I was wondering how many hundreds of hrs would go into the leather carving.

In the Spring of 1950.....the Stetson Open Road was a hat anybody would be proud to wear...East or West......

A litte over 10 years later in the Fall of 1960 we find that the Stetson Open Road is THE "Hat of the West"!!!! And the best selling Western of all time......perhaps the sales to those in the East helped out.

It really is a wonderful, flexible, snap brim wonder, that really does go with everything!

I feel for you,Greg,but you ought to try keeping supplies when having this kind of fun every 3/4 days . View attachment 157435

We have similar results here in Nebraska too. About 20'' on the ground now. Ugh!!

 

[Cornshucker77]

Man, that is a perfect hat! I like those dimensions, and in 7XCB, with just the right crease! Boots aren't too shabby either!

yes, I believe it's also someone in eastern Oregon that did the band..I think it matches well!

 

[bowlerman]

Stetson twenty five. Tried to mess with the crease but I didn’t like how much the former crease marks showed so I’m leaving it with the soft center dent for now.

That was supposed to be for the today thread but it works here.
