I have to share this one. It's rough, but it's old. Brim curl has a bit of a wave on the left hand side.
Made in England!?

Sad

That's sad really.. They look at us strange here too, just not as much I guess. Over ten days in Texas and NM (Christmas holiday) I saw less that ten! Admittedly, I was mostly on the road and in the city, in Amarillo and Taos. The younger crowd is just not into them; all ball caps! I did visit a few nice restaurants with hat/boots and attracted a-bit of attention. Everyone in Taos seemed to think we were from Dallas, go figure (i.e. Tennessee hillbilly accent):D Ron

That "taco shell" hat looks somewhat like what we call in California a "Shady Brady," at least the same look, but the Bradys usually have feathers or stuff for a hat band.

I would love to get a cavalry hat and have it styled like the one John Wayne wore in the John Ford cavalry trilogy. There was a gal wearing that kind of hat in the Rose Bowl parade, riding with a bunch of western riders. Some nice hats in that group.

I'm starting to sound like a broken record here, but for a cavalry hat check out Jaxonbilthats.com.

I liked their cavalry hat so much I bought two!!

To hell with what folks think, if you like the hat wear it. I live over here (England) and I wear my westerns on a regular basis.

Please do...

You guys that have several westerns should keep it going. I only have two, but I'm working on it. I do love to see them! Ron

Here's another one, I'm sorry you can't see the hat too well, it's a 20X straw bangora made for Justin by Milano Hats. The photo was taken on a ranch outside Vegas. I have about a half a dozen western hats but sadly not too many pics of me wearing them.
