Don't remember when I found this Miller Bros 3X western.Was going to do a conversion...But I'm going to keep it as a western.Going to change the ribbon and do a different crease.
That is a very good looking western hat. I think it's a good choice taking this one in that direction. Would like to see what you do with it.Don't remember when I found this Miller Bros 3X western.Was going to do a conversion...But I'm going to keep it as a western.Going to change the ribbon and do a different crease.

My wife has a Biltmore Western, it's a large brim high crown in a deep Gus crease. It's a very respectable hat. The bottom line is, if you like it, it's good.Greetings All:
I have a question for the experts, or whomever. Might be dumb but i’m used to it so.....
Are Biltmore westerns any good? What do you all think about them? I ask because i bought one while on vacation out west, Colorado, Wyoming etc, a few years ago, ha, 1981-82. I did get a wife out of the deal too. Still Have the hat!!

It all started with some cowboys after weeks of heavy rain......they met this man in a derby who was from New York City, he asked them , "Where did you get those wonderful soft felt hats?".....AND....the Fedora was born!!!!!!I don't know if it's really a western or just a fedora with a very wide brim.
It's not that. The Biltmore I have it's not a western weight felt, it's very light, more of a fedora weight, but it have a 3 3/4" brim.It all started with some cowboys after weeks of heavy rain......they met this man in a derby who was from New York City, he asked them , "Where did you get those wonderful soft felt hats?".....AND....the Fedora was born!!!!!!

I enjoyed your story, I appreciate the good tall tale! It's fun to speculate how things came to be.My comment really was not about your Biltmore or any particular hat really.....somehow your words made me think of how hats develop and become what they are and it made me think about actual stories and old tales I have heard similar to my quote.....in many ways an American Fedora is little more than a soft western hat.................
Don't ask me how the American Homburg came to be........ but it involved a German in the Chicago wind wearing a derby and his cane....
Best,

Anyone have experience with Staker Hats? Are they decent quality?
Looks good!One day of wearing a factory crease was about all I could stomach! Did a recrease and trying some ribbon that I have.
