Thanks Brent. I swear I never thought I’d want a blue hat! Just don’t seem cowboy!! But after seeing the one you posted a while ago, I thought it would be ok after all. Plus my wife said I needed a blue hat! Sooooo…..
Picked up my fifth hat from Mike yesterday. Went with a Navy Blue color, 100% beaver. Tried to copy the old Stetson Big Four hat. Came out pretty well I think. Never thought I’d like a blue hat, but another fellow in the lounge posted one a while back, and after seeing it, I thought it might...
Picked this one up yesterday, from Buckaroo Hatters in Covington Tn. 100% beaver in Navy Blue.
( thanks for the idea Brent, @deadlyhandsome )
Never thought I’d like a blue hat, but it turned out well to me. Was trying to copy the old Stetson Big Four.
Edit, I forgot to give dimensions, it came...
If anyone is interested, Coleman’s Military Surplus has used Army Drill Sergeant Campaign hats on sale for $19.95. They are only size 7 1/8, and are “soiled”. I figure for 20 bucks I’d take a chance.

I’ve purchased three hats from them, maybe 3-4 years ago. They were good to work with and had good prices. I even called with a question once and spoke to Mr Delmonico. Very nice fellow.
Try Mike Moore at Buckaroo Hatters in Covington Tn. Website buckaroohatters.com. He also has a Facebook page. He is only open on weekends, but you can email him and ask questions. If he had the color in stock, you’d get it in a few weeks.
Picked up this 3X western recently.
The 3X designation in the sweat is different than most.
Both roundels have the stars, and the liner doesn’t have plastic on it.
Has this label concerning the liner, and the reorder labels.
Anyone have an idea when this one was born?
Edit: thought I’d add...
Ok, I got a question for you more learned than me. (That may actually include everyone!)
I did check the how to date by liner and by size tag, but didn’t find one for re-order tags. If there is one, please advise and I’ll check it. But am gonna ask my question anyway. Picked up another 3X...
My wife needed to go to grocery, so I drove, dropped her off, then went to Harbor Freight to buy some “stuff”! Wore my fine Gannon western today. Woohoo!
Oil change day for the wife’s Cherokee. I thought it proper to wear my “ get the ‘ell out of my way” hat from Phoenix(@humanshoes). Maybe they will get me finished sooner!!
Edit: must have worked! Finished and on the way to lunch! Woohoo!
This is a beautiful hat. I have a question please. On the sweat it says “kettle finish”. What does that refer to? Forgive me if this has been discussed before, I just don’t recall.
Returned a short time ago from visiting one of my doctors. Sitting on the back porch now enjoying the breeze, with my 2 buddies! I always wear my fine Rick Walker of Phoenix Hats fedora in silverbelly to this particular doctor visit. The nurses always just go on about it and how good it...
