Western, anyone?

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking of a summer dress hat use as well. I haven't been on a horse and/or worked cattle in 30 years, but I do drive my Jeep with the window down Ron

It is a very good hat for what it was designed for. The sweat is intended to stick and that is just what it does. When cutting cattle it wont come off, the flip side, is that it is kind of tacky and not as comfortable as a regular leather sweat. I originally bought it as a dress hat, now I have a Black Gold Straw for dress and use this hat when I need it to stay put. Both are great hats, just made with differing applications in mind. Hope this helps.

Bud, Thanks for the info about a sweat band designed to "stick." That could be quite useful!

Thanks for sharing the pictures guys. Havana, as I said over at Indylounge, I really like that cattleman. It's funny this thread came up because I have to attend a "Cowboy" Christmas party tonight and I don't own a stitch of Western wear. Too bad I didn't order that cattleman when I first saw Havana's. At least I'd have a darn hat!

My "Tom Harte" hat. The brim is turned up much more now than in these photos.

The Denver area is full of western wear. I lived ther from 87 until 95 and never found a shortage. Shepplers is a starting point, my favorite is just outside of Aurora, Lancaster's on Colfax is tops. When the National Western is in town, deals can be found at the show.

Yes.. I have it open on my monitor now and my finger is on the mouse. Problem is, I've also had Rodney Allison's site open all week. I'm really itching for a custom 100X cattleman with a ranch brim
