Hey Brent:
I commented on these cause i noticed you were buying a bunch of cowboys and converting to fedoras. Cutting them down or just flattening them out. I said my gosh those are big, then they started growing on me. I have a black Borsa with a 3 3/4 brim that i just don’t have the stones to wear but i’m gettin em. Maybe. Ha How wide it the Black Beaver brim? Might have to name that style “The Brent”. Ha
Be well. Bowen
Hey Bowen,
The black Beaver Brand started life with a four inch brim. After a few seconds thought, I trimmed it down to 3.25”. I’m seeing how far I can take the brims and for me three inches wasn’t a problem.
I know some (most?) won’t like them, and I’m not giving up my more traditional sized hats, but I like these big boys. They also do offer more sun protection. I don’t really feel comfortable in “cowboy” hats so these simple conversions are perfect for me. As a bonus, western donor hats are cheap and sturdy if if not refined.
And I’m honored to have a hat style named after me.
