Campaign Hat Project

[Duck]

Here is my campaign hat project I just finished. The hat is a old Stetson XXX with a bound brim. I bought the hat to make a Span-Am style campaign hat and to cut down the brim, but the hat is in such good shape I couldn't bring myself to cut the brim. Because the brim is a little wide, I used a 1" ribbon and bow treatment. The bow is a copy of one of Dean's (Thanks Dean) :eusa_clap and I really like this style of bow. Dean urged me to start a new thread on this hat, so tell me what you think!

An on my noggin.

Campaign hat

Here is a hat I made two week's ago for a SASS shooter in Memphis. It has a 5 3/4" crown with a center dent, I wanted to bring the dent in tight but owner wanted to leave the wide dent. Has a 3" bound edge , with a 9 linge hat band and ribbon.

Owner put his acorn hat band on.

Looks great Duck!
Only problem is it's too clean! You probably ought to fall off of your horse a few times to get a more authentic look.....lol

That's a very good looking hat, Duckster.

To tell you the truth, it looks alot better on your head than it does on the table. I like it alot.
