I stumbled onto this thread by accident, but maybe I can offer an answer. I don't remember exactly how long ago it was, but I ordered one of their custom hats called the "Pike" which was supposedly made to look like the cowboy hats of the 1960's and 1950's TV westerns. What I received not only did not look like the pictures on their website, but also it looked like an exaggerated cowboy hat that you would wear with a Halloween costume. It did not look anything like a serious cowboy hat or TV western replica. It literally looked like a joke: like something you'd wear for a comedy skit or something. The brim was bent into an exaggerated "taco" shape, and the crown was tall and exaggerated like some sort of "cowboy mad hatter" hat or something.

I was embarrassed to wear it in public. I gave it to a Halloween costume shop.

I bought a hat from River Junction 4 years ago. The hat was called On The Dodge and the pic of hat on the website showed a hat that looked similar to the hat Randolph Scott wore in a lot of his westerns. The hat was also advertised to have a ribbon bound edge. When I got my hat, it did not look anything like the hat pic on the website,plus no ribbon bound edge like they said on the site. The crown looked like the man with no name. The brim looks like the hat Tom Selleck wore in Quigley Down Under. I think the fur felt is really nice quality. My problem is that the crown and brim shape combo made it awkward to wear in public. I recently took and bashed the crown open and bashed it back to have a center dent. I need get the tea kettle going to get those from dents out or take it to my local western wear shop to see if he can take care of it. To answer the question who make their hat bodies,it says Thoroughbred on the hat liner.

I’m considering a hat made by River Junction and I was curious if anyone has had any recent experience with them. Thanks in advance.
