Just made this Josey Wales hat. 20 X Beaver with a 4 inch brim (for Joao). I love that movie.

For me!? Well my birthday is near, you shouldn't.
Need my address?
The only thing I don't like is the fake dirt. It will always look artificial.

Updated link showing original photo.Here you go,[/URL][/IMG] Joao!
Not the wide brimmed hat that Hollywood depicts Wyatt Earp wearing in all the westerns, but a flat top Bowler style with a 3" brim and a pencil curled edge.
In the famous photo "Dodge City Peace Commission" taken in 1883, which was 2 years after the Tombstone gun fight, Wyatt is wearing this style hat pushed up on his head (as they did for photographs back then, so the persons face wasn't shaded). http://www.kansashistory.us/dodgecitylawmen.html
The top of the hat has often been mistaken for being round in the "Dodge City Peace Commission" photo, because of the angle he's wearing the hat for the photo, being pushed back farther than normally worn.

Thundercolt, that is very authentic. I have an order for the one Wyatt was wearing in 1874 photo that has the short brim and low round crown.

You can buy it clean if you want. The one in the movie was dirty.

I wish I could but...
Here's one of my favorites, which I just posted in WHAYWT, a suede Bailey U-Rollit.
I bought it on eBay thinking it was misdescribed. I didn't like it until I put the snakeskin band on, but now it's one of my favorites. Makes me feel like wrestling gators.

If ever there was a hat made for wrestling gators, that would be it! Looks good, Mr. Galt.
