Western, anyone?

[T Jones]

That is such a good looking hat! The crease and bound edge are too cool.

Thank you, buddy. The brim binding is original to the hat. I thought of removing it when I first started working on it. I'm glad I decided to keep it.

Looks great. What are the measurements?

I haven't measured it yet, I'm guessing 6" crown and 4" brim.

Why, thank you! I have one just like that, creases and all, that I couldn't find a name for. It's marked "7X Clear Beaver Quality", and a very nice fit (7 1/2 long oval)... but my source had no idea what its name was.

I can never tell if this is a western (cavalry) with a narrow brim or a fedora with a wide brim. Either way, it seems to fit the winter sunshine up here on the mountain.

Pictures, or I can't take my well deserved credit & collect my reward.

100x beaver, 3 3/4" brim, 4 1/2" crown, 60.5cm long oval. Built by D Bar J Hats in Las Vegas, and oh so comfy.

WOW!!!

How cool is THIS?!?!

I'm considering this hat (below) but I don't like the rattlesnake band. The hat is priced at a premium due to the band that I would change out as soon as I received it. Do you you think there is a market for the band? If I could recoup some of the sale price by selling the band the hat becomes a possibility, whereas now it isn't a good value for me. I see similar bands for sale on eBay, but this would be used and I have no idea if it's value.

I'm not big on the snakeskin band either, but that is a nice hat.

Tom, is this a Mallory, a Mallory by Stetson, Stetson or something else? 3" brim? It's probably the camera lens angle but the brim looks like it could be dimensional? How do you like it?

WOW!!!

Ditto!

It's definitely a Stetson. I bought it on eBay, and it had no further description. It is a 3 3/8" brim, not dimensional. The hatband indicates it is a 7x Clear Beaver Quality, and it is a 7 1/2 long oval. By feel, it has a fair beaver content. Fit an.d finish is very good, but I am new at this game. I like it. It fits, and it feels good on my head.

A Stetson 7XCB is a very nice hat! Watch the threads & you will see other 7XCB's held in high regard by other Loungers.

Either way, it looks great.

Either way, it looks great.

Have a few questions about this stetson I want to purchase:
What’s a fair price to pay?
And how easy is it to uncurl a brim? Would I have to take it to a hat shop or would I be able to jiffy steam and iron it out?
I don’t mind a curl in the back but I would want to flatten it in the front.
Also curious if any of you have Stetson 5xs that are similar and how the felt is on them.
I have had a few newer 4xs and love the felt however the crowns tend to be soft on them.
Thanks

Beautiful hat Alex. Steam and some hand work has taken curls out of brims for me. You may be left with a crease mark after the curl comes out. Maybe someone knows a good way to remove them. If so I would like to know cause I haven't had much luck.

I saw some nice Resistol Stagecoachs on here lately so I thought I would add mine. I shaped this hat after the hat worn by young Jake Spoon in the Comanche Moon mini series.
