That is a lot of brim and crown. Joao would love it.Hiya, folks! I know it's been a while since I've been on this thread, but now I'm back! Here's a picture of my ideal hat.
It was formerly made by the Jackson Hole Hat Company, but had to be discontinued because they could no longer obtain the extra-large hat bodies required for such a massive style. IIRC, it had an 8-inch crown and a 6-1/2 inch brim! (My ideal hat would have a 7-inch brim and a 7-inch crown. View attachment 183110 Also, in place of the elk horn button on the hat band, my ideal hat would have conchos studded with turquoise all the way around! (I don't ask for much, do I?)) D Bar J Hatters in Las Vegas has indicated that they MIGHT be able to make a hat like that--BUT--it would probably wind up costing over $1,000 (at least with the 7-inch brim and 7-inch crown I mentioned)! Since I'm retired and on Social Security, that's obviously out of the ballpark, so to speak!
