Nice collection of western hats there Deputy Swoopy. I haven't seen one of Art's Old West creations before. Nothing better than the original Boss of the Plains style for an Old West hat!

Thanks TC. Art doesn't do many westerns but is an artist, just tell him the picture you want created.
I spec'ed this as a 4" crown with 3 1/2" pencil curled bound edge like one I had seen in an Old West photo.
He nailed it as typical. I wanted it to top of my Mounted Shooting rig...now if I can get my dang horse to practice....

Thundercolt, nice one. Looks to have a brim bigger than 4".

Yup TC!! Ain't nuthin' wrong with a big hat. Come in handy down here in Texas! Nice sombrero for sure!

Joao, here's one of my Boss of the Plains hats that I'm selling along with a museum photo of one of the originals from 1865.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Looks nice and does it have a bigger brim than the one on the museum picture?

It's the angle of that photo that accents the brim width, it's just 4" same as the crown height. See the other photos in the Classifieds.

That’s my Thunder Colt! Model 1873 Single Action Army in 45 Colt caliber.
