Such a cool hat bandA humid day for felt but I'm wearing my Kevin O'Farrell all natural beaver before rain moves in later today.
If I ever buy a western I'm going to ship it by your creasing hands.A humid day for felt but I'm wearing my Kevin O'Farrell all natural beaver before rain moves in later today.
Thanks guys. The hat looks good paired with a Hunter Green shirt & wheat colored jeans. That's about as dressy as I ever get.
I've tried every crease I can think of dry in this Resistol Stagecoach but always come back to liking a Tom Horn best. It won't hold the dents without steam so in the next day or so I'll fire up the steamer for the dents & smooth out the center crease a bit. The brim is close to what I want; just needs some straightening up & a bit of an edge curl. The color is called Tanbark & I'm going to use this beaded hatband. The pattern is called snake.

So cool, I think I'd only seen one of jack's with a nice beaded band before.
Perfect backdrop for that hat and band. The band looks very intricate, and has nice colors. I want one!
I'd want to know the width but I like #5 from the left.Thanks Karl and Desertdog. She does really nice work.
Looks good with the center dent and open sides.Moving this thread back to page 1 by wearing my Akubra Woomera today.
Thanks DD. I was wanting that 1920's - 1930's Western dress look & even the smallest pinches gives the crown too much taper. The brim has sprung back some while in the box this summer so I may fire up the steamer & work it over a bit when I get some time.
Wonderful crease, rugged looking hat in a good way.Wearing the Resistol Stagecoach Outlaw today. At 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 this is the only hat I've ever worn where the brim will occasionally bump the headrest while driving.
Great hat. Wish I knew how you avoid the headrest. I can't wear a 2 1/2 inch brim without it banging all the time and driving me crazy.Wearing the Resistol Stagecoach Outlaw today.
