Really like that one Brent. What are the specs? (brim width, crown height, ribbon width & color)

Thanks, Bill. It’s 6” open and the brim is 2 3/4”. The ribbon is a deep plum purple with matching binding.

Tremendous. Has an almost bat wing appeal to it.

Miller Western Hats - Black
5 1/2 open crown 4 7/8 as shaped
3/8 Black tri cord thin ribbon
2 7/8 brim with matching 3/16 bound edge
To say I am very pleased with today’s latest arrival is quite an understatement. I’ve been hankering for a black soft top western in a somewhat Stratoliner/Open Road style for quite a bit now. This one definitely is checking that box for me! The only downside is the sweat’s rear stitching is removed and it’s is cracked clean through on the side. However it still feels fine on the head. Think I’ll live with it for now and replace if/when needed. The felt on the crown is fairly thick and super soft... Possibly a tiny bit too soft as it’s not holding side dents on a quick hand crease so well. But that may come with steam or time. Just a fantastic casual wear Hat I could wear just about any time.
Don’t know the age on this one... but I’m assuming this came from the old Miller Stockman catalogs. Thanks again to @BobHufford for pointing me in the right direction on this one.

Been building stands for my new block and flanger. Not finished, so I’ll post pics later.
But here’s a hat stretcher I built recently.
Couldn’t find a large size on eBay, so I built one that features a TempleForm pattern for an egg shaped head like mine.
Works great!!
The one I had was too small and wonked up the brim from making the head opening oval too slim.
And a 60s Barlesoni today.

Congrats, Joe, and looking good. I know you'd been searching for a while for one like this.

Thanks, Brent and @Blare .
I also added an extra layer of wood for a 2 1/4 thickness for extra wide sweatbands and then tapered the sides back with a belt sander so it wouldn’t leave the ridged felt at the base of the crown as a tell tell sign of a hat that was stretched.
Really works great.

Great hat!Wearing this Resistol Stagecoach that I converted a few years back.
I gave the bow a slight upturn...
Also listened to some Rock A Billy by Johnny Cash!
Gotta love Luther's Esquire

Yes, we do and thank you...but my name is Gary.
I do have a brother called Alan, but he is not a hat person!
No offense taken.
