I wore my Rand's 8X western hat out for my morning walk. It is definitely a head-turner.
The exaggerated high sides with which it came were a little too much for me. Makes sense for stage use, as it was made for "Stage Western Dunkin." I feel more comfortable wearing a more gentle curve with only a slight forward roll, even though that makes it appear even wider. Seems a little more along the lines of a "Jim Bridger" type. I don't know who that is, but I'm getting the nomenclature from styles on the Knudsen Hats website.
Only a few weeks left of "Western hat season," unless I can pull them off with work clothes, so I'm trying to enjoy them.
