That one is an outstanding hat! Well done.

That certainly doesn't look like Cali, have you made your way up north?

Still in CA but right next to NV as well. Anniversary with the misses, first time to Tahoe! A few more pics, for, ya know, reference (and showing off)

^^^Last pic is a great one Ross. A framer for sure!

Dang, Ross...why you gotta flex on us so hard?

Happy anniversary to you guys, and looking sharp as always. That jacket! Man, I like it!

For all I don’t like about California it has an incredible amount of diversity of scenery: Deserts, temperate rainforest, alpine peaks, billiard table flat farmland, swamps, and beaches. I’m champing at the bit to leave here, but I also know there is a lot I will miss.

Hat, sweater and jacket are classics, Ross.

You can always visit.

Stumbled into uncharted territory, and not in need of rescue! Fantastic hat!

Living in London there's not much opportunity to crack out a full western look - though mind you it's probably one part of the UK where it would pass unremarked. (Love that about London - I've been on the tube in full drag and nobody cares. Very refreshing having come from a small village existence where any slight deviation from the norm would have been talked about for weeks...). I've become somewhat more intrigued by the softer - perhaps more historically correct - version of the Western look in recent years, largely through having gotten more into rockabilly. I'm currently toying with the idea of working up a sort of Edwardian gunslinger type look (not entirely historically correct, I know, but a sort-of turn of the century look that carried in the UK across the late Victorian into Edwardian period - i.e. 1890s into 1910s). Frock-coated suit...

The only really Western hat I have currently (unless you count a bowler) is a Campdraft bashed like a fedora.

It's hard to beat a Northwest hat in any configuration. View attachment 317417

This one in particular is a stunning piece.

First day under my new Gannon: 100% nutria in the sage color.

Nice; has that sort of more fedora-type look. Looks like nice felt, too.

Cool look; I'm sure I've seen photos of Jimi Hendrix in a very similar hat.

You know, a lot of Englishmen were involved in the American cattle industry. One of the most well-known was John Tunstall, mentor to Billy the Kid.

A Bowler would fit the period. An alternative would be Lee van Cleef's hat in a Fist Full of Dollars.

Now that’s “go big or go home” despite not being your typical style you pull the look off really well. I would be half tempted to leave it open crown.

I travelled through Tunstall territory last week. I'll have to snap a few photos next time I'm in Lincoln, NM.

I wasn't aware of that re Tunstall. I'm actually Irish myself - I gather "my people" have had something of an impact in the US over time, though I'm not sure of our connections to the Old West. Likely building the railroads, like everywhere else!

The black one? I do like that. The bowler came to mind as I gather it was the most common hat in the Old West. It's interesting how far popular perceptions of the "real" Wild West differ so much from the reality, sometimes - a very clear example of the power of Hollywood imagery, perhaps?
