Beautiful hat! Do you have any worn photos as well? Also, does it look more ranch tan in person or more like a Stetson version of silverbelly?

Justified was one of my favorites.... A few years back when I was clearing out my Dads house in Knoxville, I found one of his old hats.. A semi cheap 3x Master Hatters of Texas Cattleman from Cavendars with a 4 1/4" brim. It was in the bottom of a box with an old VCR and a half dozen pair of boots on top ( can you say crushed?) It was also a 6 7/8 and Im halfway between a 7 1/4 and 7 3/8. Since it was unwearable as-is but had sentimental value I went to work. Cut the brim down to 2 7/8", did some serious cleaning, followed by some serious steaming, stretching, straightning and shaping. Now it fits and does get worn in cooler weather.. pairs well with denim. Couldnt find a decent replica hatband, so I threw this little braided one on. I work with leather and have a couple nice sterling hatband buckle sets that will be perfect. Made up a pattern template for what should be really close copy of Raylan's hatband. Plans are the next time I run out of things to do, Ill tool and stitch up a proper copy. As it is, its a real thick, super stiff felt, so Im debating giving it a denatured alcohol bath and see if I can loosen it up just a bit. Its not a perfect clone, but it was inspired by the show hat and its now living its second useful life
