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...

Guess I could wait for forthcoming sample photos...probably calling y'all by Friday anyways...
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
