Western, anyone?

[deadlyhandsome]

This hat is a wow!

Thanks. It was his first attempt at using a larger diameter curling shackle. As you can attest, it can be tough to get these western felts to shape the way we want them. Michael did an admirable job.

I hate following Alan’s Stetson.

I mean still… quite an awesome hat!

A cold rainy day calls for an open crown Resistol Fort Worth 3X.

Who among us has the "nerve" to wear a Stetson Tom Mix in public? That's a whoooooole lotta hat.

I'm a big dude --like NFL Interior lineman big, so I already draw a certain amount of attention (unwanted mostly), but I'm afraid that sporting a full-blown Tom Mix will give me that record-scratch entrance we have seen in so many movies. You know the one --the music stops and everyone turns toward the door? I'd probably like to avoid that, but I really love that hat. Thus is my dilemma.

Picture would help.

An old Dakota model from who knows what manufacturer. Apparently this was a long running model from many different hat makers (including Stetson) during the early part of the last century.

Very cool. Real deal, hard earned “patina”. Can’t fake that kind of buckaroo distress

Me?

Anyone but Brent missed me?

But I'm not a normal person nor I live in the States, I'm the odd/weird person around here. xD
Let me see if my pictures are still online... those pictures are from 2019 but I still wear them....
If anyone follows the LOAD "ZX" museum, you can see me in pictures and videos, usually I wear the Resistol Hi75 on those days.

^^ One Tom Mix in black...

^^ Another Tom Mix in black...

^^ Another Tom Mix but silverbelly

^^ not a Tom Mix but same dimensions, a Resistol Hi75 with 5" brim

Hope this helps you out!

I was happy just seeing you give some of my hats "likes"! Glad to see you posting again Joao.

I have a silverbelly Tom Mix (modernish) that I still need to steam the brim on, but I'll get head shots up soon.

 

[Rmccamey]

There is obviously not enough of us here to get Winchester to make hat bodies for the tall crowns and wide brims of old, but isn't there some resourceful entrepreneur somewhere in the world who could make one-off felt bodies for the big westerns?

Glad to see you, my friend! You have definitely been missed around here.

Welcome back Joao, good to see the bigger brims again.

I think quite a number of us have missed you, Joao. Not many here can pull off those big hats like you can.

I hope you've inspired the OP you replied to to go for it. Hope to see you posting some more, too. We need more of the weird, odd, and wonderful

Great to see you again! Awesome display of a nice "MIX" of hats......
That should let the OP know how well they can be worn!

By todays standards you should have the height & width at the shoulders to pull it off. The hat style blends in & just becomes a part of you.

Excuse the wonky brim. I also need a longer arm for big hat selfies.
