    Aero 1930s slim half belt versus the bootlegger??? help

    Because you originally mentioned the "shirt & tie" desire, I say the 30's HB over the Bootlegger. With the angled zipper, the front of the Bootlegger, even worn unzipped, doesn't support the shirt & tie look. JMHO. As stated earlier, sell the HWM because it's too similar to the 30's HB. I have...

    Stetson Western hat crown height

    There are lots of Western hats with cattleman/alpine creases. They have varying profiles = crown heights. From low profile, 4 inches, on up. They will look different on your noggin. http://www.stetson.com/mens/western-hats

    Am I the only one?

    I too have been waiting for the cool nip of Fall to finally get here. I wore my AL Dirt Rider a couple of mornings already on my motorcycle ride to work. This morning it was rather brisk. I have an Aero Highwayman that I have yet to wear outside the house. It is nowhere near cold enough for...

    Good to know about the Royal Deluxe grade felt for these models...I seemed to have missed that earlier. Thanks again Jeff. This puts it on line with the Heritage Campdraft for me.

    Akubra Campdraft

    C-crease. See the distinctive V for the front & the C across the back? Depending on facets of your diamond, the back would be at least a smaller V, making the entire crease resemble a kite.

    Stetson Western hat crown height

    I'm with John on this one. If I was dropping that amount of coin on a western hat, I'd be going custom & getting an exact fit. Regular oval from Stetson won't fit like a custom, JMHO. BTW, that is a pressed in factory crease that you won't be modifying easily at all....or should want to for...

    Thanks for the info Jeff. Given the URL for the photo, this is the Mink color. What does the Tawny shade look like? Guess I could wait for forthcoming sample photos...probably calling y'all by Friday anyways...

    Stetson Western hat crown height

    That is going to be the height from the brim to the front center dent of the crease on a cattleman/alpine crease.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    100% natural beaver custom western like I have would run me over $600 to replace. Nothing for fancy cowboy hats to be $800 - $1000... Basic hats are rabbit felt = http://shortyshattery.com/ShortysInfo/Pricing
