I caught the Wild Bunch the other night and was wondering if any one here knows who made Pike Bishop?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s hat (William Holden) or the company that makes them if still in business? I always admired his hat.
I used to have an old Stetson that looks the same, but years of wear and tear have taken a total, weather beaten so I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d like to find one like Pike Bishops. William Holden never looked better:cool:

Great film. I kind of go for a similar style myself. I could never find anyone who produces a hat like this as a standard production item. I just ended up making my own from an Akubra. I made one low crowned from an Cattleman and one with a slightly higher crown from an Akubra Bobby. Both turned out really well. The brims aren't as wide as the Pike hat but similar. If you're willing to pay for a custom, contact Rand's Custom Hats for western customs, he's one of the very best.
