Don't know that I have ever seen one quite like it before.

Not a style I've seen either, but I like it! Lots of panache.

Cool web site. I've never seen it before.

Thanks for posting the link-I just started cowboy shooting and the website is great!

The brick and mortar store is a fun place to visit in the Mississippi River town of McGregor Iowa. Actually the River Junction Store consists of two very old brick buildings about 15' apart. One building specializes in Ladies goods, the other building contains Men's goods. On the day I was there, both buildings were run by the same person. My friend and I walked through the Ladies store first, then walked next door to the men's store, where we were greeted by the same shopkeeper, who had apparently used the back doors of the building to help us. A very old-time feeling to this place -- highly recommended.

For some reason, I vaguely recalled seeing Woodrow Wilson wearing
such a hat.
Here's a photo of his in black.

Avoid River Junction

Even before taking Lefty's link, I was not impressed by their obvious lack of quality:

FARRY DEEDS HAT, aka Seth Bullock, aka Homburg:

1) Sweatband stitching showing below the outer hatband.
2) Edge banding showing at the least two rows of stitching.
3)"This hat is created with the authentic center crease," - Just WHAT does that mean? - LOL

Poor quality overall, also the term BBB comes to mind.
LOL.
