Not the wide brimmed hat that Hollywood depicts Wyatt Earp wearing in all the westerns, but a flat top Bowler style with a 3" brim and a pencil curled edge.
In the famous photo "Dodge City Peace Commission" taken in 1883, which was 2 years after the Tombstone gun fight, Wyatt is wearing this style hat pushed up on his head (as they did for photographs back then, so the persons face wasn't shaded). http://dodgecitypeacecommission.com/
The top of the hat has often been mistaken for being round in the "Dodge City Peace Commission" photo, because of the angle he's wearing the hat for the photo, being pushed back farther than normally worn.

Hi T Jones

That is a nice looking hat. Are the Resistol Stagecoaches Wool Felt or Beaver Felt?

No one knows the composition of the felt Resistol used on the Stagecoach hats line.
It's not wool and probably does not contain any beaver at all. Maybe all bunny fur.

Nice crown!
The brim size is the issue (for me )

Thanks buddy. It definitely isn't wool. I would say that it's more than likely rabbit felt. They're nice hats, for sure. Hard to beat a Resistol when it comes to westerns.

Thanks guys. I have a couple of Resistol Westerns and really like them. I have seen quite a few Stagecoaches for sale on Ebay and was curious about them. Might get one.

Stagecoaches are pretty nice. They're also a favorite for doing hat conversions because of their tall crowns and felt quality.

Here's a Stagecoach that was converted to an Indy style fedora

TJONES. You are so right. Thats one nice lookin hat.

I have a... collection of Resistol Stagecoach hats.

That is a very good looking hat. I've been out of the market for new hats of late. But that beauty may have moved me. Great hat sir.

I have 5 Stagecoaches. Although I have a couple of other silverbellys that I'd consider trading off. One's a Royal Stetson Open Road clone and the other is a Knox 15 Westlite, also an open road clone. The RS has a 2 1/2 brim width which I'm not too fond of. The Knox is too snug on me.

OR's have stingy brim. No fit for me.

I like the hat ingineer. I might get one for outdoor work and living in the countryside.

 

[ingineer]

Adrian;
Glad you like it.
You should not have any problem finding an inexpensive one with your 57 hat size.
Even vintage.
The hat has what i call a "Canadian" crease also called a brick or bullrider etc.
Seems very popular crease in the pacific northwest
