Western, anyone?

70's Open Road i picked up second hand. I had considered doing some work to it, having it cleaned, reshaped and a new headband. But for now... I'm really liking its character.

Had to work today, and a bit rainy out. Decided on the natural beaver I got at Buckaroo Hatters almost 2 years ago now. My first all beaver hat. It’s been a “goodun’”

That’s a great looking hat. I’m a big fan of natural in a western hat.

Thank you kind sir. I've change the crown shape twice from when I got it. I think I like this the best.

Hi, I like what you have now also. I am curious though, what were your previous creases on that one? What are the crown and brim measurements? I have a couple of friends that aren't exactly "Cowboy" enough to get a Gus Crease with a 5 inch Brim.

Originally it was a bit steeper front, more like a Gus. I changed to a C crown with front pinches. But I have several others that way or diamond, so I changed it to this. Its really close to original, but with the front a little higher, and center pinch a bit further back. Actually, I don't recall dimensions off hand, but will try and think to measure tonight.

Thinking of putting a ribbon and bow work on this 3X Resistol that I took apart and reworked a couple years back....

Just measured. Brim is 4 1/8, crown right at 6.

I have been missing out on the forum lately. Tapatalk was causing problems. Been busy making holsters, still wearing the Thouroughbred. Terry@ tjones inspired the crease.

Good to see you back Ed. The hat looks great and the holsters as well. Can you post of close-up of leather-work?

Love the hat. Those holsters are mighty fine looking too. I got a six shooter that would look good in one of those!!

You guys made me think I haven't had my Stetson Montana Peak out for a while.
