Any of you familiar with his work or seen his hats first hand ?

@Mm25 Joe bought a Hat from him last year . I think he uses clothe sweats , but I'm not positive .

@Joao Encarnado Very nice! Congratulations!

Latigo

Thank you. All merits go to Michael R.

Joao, where does one find those woven hat bands? They always catch my eye.

I'm not very fond of those woven hatbands but since they are original to the hats, I let them stay.

Thanks for the link, Jack.

I ran across this site on Etsy and I'm kind of intrigued by this fellow, Lil Grizz's traditional method and product. Any of you familiar with his work or seen his hats first hand?

I'm watching Ride With the Devil right now and digging those pencil curls on those hats!

Look him up on YouTube, someone did a series of videos of him and his work.

Thanks, I did. I went ahead and ordered a Montana Peak last night. I'll let y'all know after it arrives. I'll have to decide what I want to do for a hat band, as that's not included.

I guess the people who made a deal to buy it must have not went through with it. He has been trying to sell the business for awhile now.

Well Montana is a beautiful state. But I've heard from a couple hat makers in the states and Canada. That finding quality beaver pelts is becoming more and more difficult.

Maybe a horse hair band and would look good on it, that or a very wide ribbon that comes to the bottom on the indents that create the peak. I believe he sells his hats on etsy as well not sure I remember seeing very similar looking hats on there.

Billings is beautiful among the mountain ranges, lots of good fishing, dude ranches, etc. But I've never been there in the winter.

Just received two Resistol Stagecoaches this wk while I was gone. The Outlaw measures 4-1/2" brim x 6-3/4" open crown. I don't have any electronic scales but it is probably the heaviest hat I own. The 2nd one is called Dry Gulch & it measures 4" brim x 6-1/2" open crown. I'll start the steam cleaning & prep work tomorrow & get them ready until I figure out how I am going to use them.

Looking forward to see what you come up with!

 

[Motocowboy]

I'm with you.
I like my brims flat with a lil' bit of swoop in the front and back.
High fenders and shovel brims aren't my thing.
Big brims. 4" or more. My 3 1/2" brims are almost all stored in boxes.

BTW great collection. Not much (lol) but great

I am with you Joao! Dip front and back and almost flat on the sides. I am not a tall or large man but a round face and broad shoulders. And most importantly my wife likes this style on me!

I have been there summer and late November, As you said it can be a pretty area but in the winter it is cold. I live in upstate NY and our winters can be hard, the difference for me is we don't get the -0 temps as often as they do in Montana ,Wyoming. I watch the weather in Sheridan WY and figure about 6 days and we will get similar weather here.

I think the heaviest hat I own is a black Stetson Tom Mix.
7" crown 5" brim 4x beaver from the 80's or 90's.

Resistol Stagecoaches.

The trash has been taken off, pushed to open crowns & steamed & brushed for cleaning.

This model is the Outlaw in black. At 4-1/2 x 6-3/4 it has lots to work with.

This model is called Dry Gulch & the color is Tanbark. It's a little bit redder/darker than in this pic. This is the nicer hat of the two. At 4 x 6-1/2 it would look good with a Tom Horn crease or something similar. The brim was out of shape so I flattened it to make it presentable until I decide on what comes next.

they seem to be in good condition, sweats and lining look perfect.
