Walden (no “Worth”) as restored by Rick of The Phoenix Hat Co. With it sized up to fit me the brim shrank to a mere 4 5/8 inches wide. Rick went the extra mile by recreating the original markings on the new sweatband and using the original liner tip in the new liner he made for me. An absolutely fabulous hat with great thin vintage felt. The entire hat is soft, but the crown wouldn’t be out of place on a 1940s Zephyr weight fedora! Rick is a truly gifted hatter and he’s made me a great hat from this old survivor.

You are wearing some Tom Mix proportions with those two, Brent. Very nice.

Resistol 4X beaver. 6 1/2” open crown and 4” wide brim. It’s silverbelly, but it’s on the lighter end of that spectrum.

That hat gets a "holy smokes" from me. Yessir, I like that one an awful lot.

Thanks, fellas. The Walden is an incredible hat and Rick @humanshoes really did a great job on it. It’s thin, soft, and very moldable: just what most modern Westerns are not.
