Wow! Brim and crown measurements, sir?

Goodness, the last two hats are spectacular! Normally I'm not that much into Western hats, but when I see all those pictures...

I like the first picture of the Etchison, very different to the normal issue, it appeals and presses all the right buttons for me.... but what do I know....??

Great old western, Josh... it shares much in common with my Stetson 1X Nutria.

Dinerman, those new additions are fantastic.

THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Alan, when I first saw your Stetson 1X Nutria, I knew I had to have one in that style. The only problem is that this 6 7/8 has shrunk to something like a 6 3/4. :eusa_doh:
I'm still on the hunt for this exact style in a size 7 that I can actually wear.

More pics of this one to come when it shows up.

 

[mayserwegener]

It looks fantastic! Looking forward to more details!

 

[Dinerman]

Very fine, thin, lightweight felt, with not very much stiffener. Equally thin sweatband.

I can't find quite this particular hat, but these are similar.

 

[CircuitRider]

Fur felt only a couple of dollars more than wool felt...but I guess still double the price!

Dang, that's a fine old big hat, D-man!

Probably near the date borderline. Soft suede-type finish. 7" x 3-1/2"+.

 

[Joshbru3]

VERY nice, Robert! That sweatband looks wonderfully wide. How wide is it?

 

[rlk]

2-1/8"+
