My two winter hats from Mackey custom hats.

I am really leaning toward a Mix / Gus crease on my next hat, thinking a Brown one

I love the old west look too and wanted something a little different than an off the shelf hat. Cowboy hats are my signiture head gear. I think my sons are a little embarrassed by me when i wear a straw hat and shorts in the summer.(with socks and sandles to complete the outfit),but that's what Dads are for! :)

Really well made, has kept its shape for 7 years and a good weight to it so it doesn't launch too often. Best leather hat I have had, just a lick of dubbin every 6 or so months keeps it looking good and semi waterproof.
They make a roo hide one now I see, may have to upgrade. If it doesn't work out, could always cut it up into travel strops.
Size xl to fit my boof head.

I have that exact hat. I have only worn mine once since I bought it new in about 2002 ish, but yes, it's a GREAT hat. It's hanging on a Hall Tree in the entrance Foyer of my Florida home. I'll see if I can find a pic of it for you. If not, you'll have to wait until I get back to Florida after this lockdown mess clears up a bit.

Crikey, you can get them all the way over there?
The best hat I ever had was my grandfathers felt fedora, probably '50s vintage. Went missing when my boys were young..

I've been thinking of getting a hat. I normally wear baseball hats on weekends and for some reason I always wear one on long car drives. I've been thinking of getting something nicer--maybe a fedora of some sort. Since not a lot of men wear hats right now, are there some good choices I can wear casually that wouldn't be too off the wall?

Kangol has some fedora types that are quite nice.

I wear a baseball type cap much of the time and prefer it while driving and not interfering with the headrest.

Here is where my Dobbs rests most of the time while driving.

I like your Dobbs hat. There’sa hat store in an outlet mall not too far from me. I’m getting ideas of what I’d like.

Great Pic, super dog. Love that oilskin duster. I had one almost exactly like that, but lost it in a situation I won't go into here. I really miss that duster. I still do have the matching oilskin hat.

Here's one I bet no one else has...
Attachment 337790
It's one my son knitted for me. There's a sentence you never thought you'd hear yourself say. Anyway, I wanted a long tailed knit cap. Ask and ye shall receive I guess. It was sort of a joke (he has an interesting sense of humor) more of a novelty really but his point was to make a hat that could also be used as a scarf. This one is about 15 feet long so it is not really practical but he has made some since that would actually be quite useful for that purpose at about 6 to 8 feet long.

Finally added another Stetson with a Gus crease in Brown, I REALLY hated the factory band, so I spent a little more and got one sent over from Montana from a guy that makes them at his home

Braided Horse Hair Band

I did just a little tweaking on the brim to turn down the front and back, into more of an Outlaw style.

It could be used as a summer sort of loin cloth hat combo if you wrap it right!
