Crown is about 6-1/2", brim about 4" projection plus a 1/2" more in the curl, bound like a Homburg.

I have an Akubra Bobby on order so I will be looking forward to contributing to this thread when it arives. I'm seeing about getting it open crown to work on the crease myself.

No Bad here, just one custom job from a friend at Hatco, ribbon and binding are not as golden as in photos. This is a one of a kind Resistol made to my specs, almost too flashy to wear, but looks good hanging on a stand in my house. The other one is what my cowboy hats usually end up looking like after a year or two. This one still gets wear. It's been in barfights, run over by horses and cattle alike, gone through nasty brush, hit quite a few ceiling fans and doorways, and been rained on until it weighed about ten pounds. The dark stains are a combination of sweat, blood and possibly horse urine, from getting knocked off at the stables. When it's unwearable, it will go on the wall, and the fresh one waiting in the box will be called up.

New 7.5 R Stetson 5X D-4 Rancher in Tan I found recently, with box.



well, there should be a picture here, but the Management makes it harder than it needs to be to post a picture.

So, one cannot upload a picture from one's own harddrive? Strange.

Wow Jimmy! :eusa_clap Great crease work there. Gives an old western an new look. Well done. :eusa_clap

Thanks, Dan! It was really fun working on a new crease for The Buckaroo, and I really enjoy wearing it. I have to thank feltfan for turning me on to this lid.

You know, Rusty -- in light of the fact that FedoraFest III is heading to Southfork, I may need to re-think my lid selection and go with a more "Texas Friendly" approach this time around...;) :D

Cheers,
JtL
