Nice hat and boots, HJ! How tall is the crown on your Stetson to make that work nicely?Good catch, Doc. Lee Marvin was always a favorite of mine, & he never looked better. Here's my Stetson with a Montana Peak.

I'll get it out & measure it up & let you know Doc. I don't know from memory.
Only around the house BB. They still have the hang tag on them. I always thought the toes needed something. I have these old Mexican silver toe caps but the toes on the boots are not pointy enough for these caps to fit.

Saw a film I had never heard of from 2015... I didn't pick it, I walked into a situation where this was the film du jour...The Dressmaker starring Kate Winslet....Turned out to be a great hat film and the women's fashions were fantastic...It's about a woman fashion designer in the fifties who moves back to her old rural hometown in Austrailia...And it's something of a revenge flik using her dressmaking fashion skills as a weapon. Very interesting for those interested in clothes and hats...I'm thinking most of the men's dress hats must have been Akubras...but I could be wrong, I need to get this film, so I can just check some of these hats out...Off the cuff I saw 4 or 5 I would love to have..Not your normal modern fedoras in a new movie..These hats had straight sides and almost all had very little taper...It is an Austrailia film but I do know as far as the ladies fashions, they said theY collected hundreds of vintage rare pieces...300 for just one of the characters...But they said nothing about the men's hats..So I don't think they were vintage...
Doc, I just measured mine & it is ~6-1/2" to 6-3/4" to the peak, best I can measure. The brim is 4", so a good candidate would be the Akubra Woomera at 6.7" open crown. Sorry I didn't get this done yesterday.
No worries, mate! Thanks so much for the info and I'll definitely look into purchasing a Woomera.Doc, I just measured mine & it is ~6-1/2" to 6-3/4" to the peak, best I can measure.

I haven't seen the movie, but found it on You Tube and watched a few clips. Akubra's Silverbelly is a bit lighter in color, but the dimensions look pretty close to my far-from-being-an-expert eye. You would have to flatten the Campdraft's brim to some degree, but I think it would be a decent "base" hat to get you something close to Mr. Young's hat.
Yup. That's Lee Van Cleef on the right, James Best in the middle, and, "what we've got here is failure to commun'cate", on the left. The pic is from a Twilight Zone episode.And Lee Van Cleef on the right?

Yeah, it definitely looks close except for the brim binding yours has. I think I like yours a bit better. There should be more pictures of that hat online. Google search images, White Heat.love the heathered fuzzy the guy with his back to us is wearing as well

Doc, don't know if you did your own conversion from metric or not. If so you must have made an error. Here are the specs & the conversion from metric using an online calculator:
