It's not Gladhatter. I have seen his posted hats on Ebay for months.

3X Stetson, sort of a Western Homburg. This is from yesterday.
Yes, it is a rather HUGE hat, and the open crown has got to be 6+ inches. Although if I become a cowboy it wouldn't be totally unlike the dimensions of Ben Foster's hat in the recent 3:10 to Yuma... and HE looked cool!
I liked the old style too, but I just wasn't wearing it (I felt like like a kid wearing a full size fireman's helmet) and thought I'd try messing around to see if I got more comfortable with a different style.
a kettle curl-- that would be fun. I like that idea. How do you DIY a kettle curl?
now this is just silly head-on, but you asked for it!

Bowlerman,
Did you go with the 100% beaver, the blend, or the fur felt? Whichever felt you got, how does it compare to other hats you have purchased? What did you think of the felt and pouncing? Was there anything you didn't like about the hat?
Sorry for the long list of questions. I'm considering ordering a custom hat from him and I'd like to know what the level of quality is. It's hard to tell from his auction photos.
Thanks,
Sam
This is my first post, so greetings from Portugal
I have a some may call it a cowboy hat collection, I like to call it my trial and error for my hat because in Portugal there is no Resistol representation, but some stores (very little amount) sell stetsons but only fedoras made of wool. I believe that in Portugal there is no one making or ever made beaver hats.
Wow. Nice to see some Europeans wearing American style hats. Good stuff.
Hatophile: Brown is your color. Looks good on you.
Bowlerman: Beautiful liner, is it Taffeta or silk?
It's the western hats that set me off with the collecting and also the reason I found FL. Western hats first for me followed closely by fedoras.
