I am not looking for an exact replica of this hat, but one that is shaped the same as this hat. I am looking for a 6 3/4. The closest one I could find is the Tombstone hat Wyatt wore.
That is a very wide brimmed hat.I have thought about doing this hat based on cad bane.(I'm a Star Wars fan with a couple of light sabers)I would find a old wide brim western and do a conversion to make it look close to this hat.
Very wide brim with a very very low crown.
Don't know it a old western hat would do it because of such low crown.
I think it would be better to get a blank hat body and go custom.
Dogman and Joao is on the right track. A Boss of the Plains is probably the closest you'll get to a real world version. Hatco/Stetson's current incarnation is the Austral, made from buffalo fur, but more authentic fur felt versions exist from custom makers (Knudsen, Buckaroo, et al)
I just ordered up a custom made version of this. I will post it up when it comes. It should be a month out is what I was told. I had it made from a very low crown 5x felt stetson in mink. I couldn't get as wide a brim (i have been looking for weeks now...), the one I had custom ordered to make is a 4.25 brim, but i have a small head so this make look big on me anyhow. I have 21" measurement so- Anyhow Like I said I will post it up when it gets in.
