Western, anyone?

Thank you. I'm kind of partial to the "gambler" or "pastoralist" crowns. Too much Clint Eastwood influence I suppose.

I really like that look too......Here is one I picked up fairly recently.....more under the "Open Road Guild".....never thought to post here.....

I love it. interesting bash for an Open Road. I might have to pick up another and try that.

Here are a couple of pics of my hat,

I forgot to take interior shots, maybe later. Mine has a brown sweatband.

Very nice! The one I sold looked a bit more tan than that. It also didn't have the original band.

Yes.....I really loved it when I saw it......not sure it is an "official" Open Road...sweat just has it as a 3X Beaver Quality....It is unlined.......so not sure about it. But again, the crease was cool.............felt has a real nice feel, it is the soft variety and not heavily sized.

It's a gambler style of crease with the short brim.

Which a wider brim it's more of a "Buckaroo" style. Telescope crown with a flatter brim, usually 4.5"+. It's a mix of California cowboy style and the Vaqueros from old Mexico. The style is not only known for the style of hat but for a difference in tack, roping and daly methods, and horsemanship techniques.

@Michael R. The horseman below is riding a slick fork saddle but without bucking rolls, most working Vaquero's use them. The horse is being ridden in the two rein with a spade bit with braided reins and rein chains and a bosalita, Vaquero style, almost a full bridle horse. He's carrying a long braided reata , again traditional Vaquero. It takes about 5 years of training to make a full bridle horse. They use weight shift techniques and once the horse learns you can ride without reins at all. This is how I was taught. Oh... and the hat!

I know @Latigo , looks good doesn't it . I've been looking at Buckaroo Saddles for years with smooth forks and bucking rolls and a higher cantle thats more straight . Reminds me of my old saddle I had as a kid . Maybe one day I'll spring for one . The Buckaroo Vaqueros can take a OR style Hat and telescope the crown flatten the brim and it looks like a totally different Hat . Those low crown numbers don't work for me . I still like em though .
