I guess my question is this, do you think hjaxonbilthats.com could build me this hat??? Baron scares the living hell out of me with their prices plus they made so many different hats for the show I really don't have much faith in them making me one like the one I want. I mean if they were so good how come their was so many different hats used??? You would think they would just keep making the same hat over and over for the show.................. 
Of course it could have just been the show changing the style of the hat for different seasons/episodes so I don't want to sound like I am blaming Baron for this but I just have a lot of questions I would want answered before I laid that kind of money down for one of their hats and even then it would be really, really hard for me to spend that kind of money on a hat...........

I'm sure if I pay their prices they would be willing to make one. Still kinda weird why they don't advertise them...............

One thing is make *THE* hat, other is making a hat based on.
I don't know how this works.

Interesting. Anyone know the price ranges on the Jaxonbilt replica? I purchased a stetson marshall for halloween but wouldn't mind having a better quality version. I personally think the hat from the show is the best looking hat I've ever seen, bar none.

It is a handsome lid. Like to get open crown & brim width dimensions. I've put that band on other hat models, latest a Heritage Campdraft in Silverbelly.

Thanks for persevering, Projectthx138. I bought a Stetson Carson to get a justified hat and I like it, but I see now the crown is a bit lower. I also have a silverbelly resistol that I got the brim trimmed on for the same effect, the crown's a bit higher on that one. Another candidate for a bargain "close enough" version is a ranch tan Stetson Cowboy, again with a slight trim. That one's taller than the Carson as well. One of these days I may even splurge for the hat band to complete the ensemble.
I have the Jaxonbilt Justified. It is a nice hat but if you get it as standard you will be disappointed, it's far from 100% accurate. Definitely worth asking if you can send a bunch of photos to work from because the quality is great, but you will need to be very specific about what you want. I also have the Knudsen Justified, which is just a Stetson reshaped. A little more accurate than the Jaxonbilt on first glance but nothing you couldn't do yourself with a bit of time and patience, plus the crown is too low and mine developed a serious taper after getting wet.
In terms of crown and brim measurements, I have burnt through a bunch of cheap used Stetsons experimenting and have concluded that the crown needs to be somewhere around 4 1/4" front and 5" center. Brim width all depends on the era you are going for. My current preference is seasons 2-4, which is a 3 1/4" brim, like this:
Season 5 (your first picture) I believe kept the same brim but season 6 (second picture) would be 3 1/2". Obviously shape plays a part in how it appears but it definitely grew on the last season.
As I think I've said before, the best result I've found is getting a stock Stetson 5X in ranch tan (I think the code is COWB-R), which you can easily pick up on Ebay for under $100 most of the time, and spend a bit of time trimming and reshaping to suit what you want. I was aiming for the style above and managed this quite easily:

I miss the show just reading this thread.
Who else would come up with a title like "A Murder of Crowes". Thank-you Mr. Leonard for the hero, the villains and 78 much enjoyed episodes.
