Can't own one. Portuguese gun laws are not the same as the US gun laws.

Here is the Gun Club my dear wife found for me at a garage sale about ten years ago (IIRC, she paid $5). It is in amazingly pristine condition, and I've worn it many times, most notably to a Specials concert, where it fit in nicely with the headgear sported by many of the rude-boys in attendance! Now, if I could only find a pin....

Stetson was still selling a model marked "Gun Club" in the mid-'90s. I bought one at Meyer the Hatter, a pale sage green hat with a very Stratoliner vibe, except the ribbon was a belt with buckle. Had about a 2.5" brim if I recall.

My only (so far ) Gun Club:
The crown is lower than I normally wear and it has more taper than most of my hats but I still like it quite a lot.

I have a Dune in Silver belly, which is in Stetson's Gun Club lineup. I do a half hour, sometimes one hour, walk that takes me up and over some slight hills, which I do double-time to get my heart rate up, and the Dune is absolutely great in these winter months. The hat is very light, but grips my head in a wind, and that big brim, which is firm and steady as I walk, does a great job of blocking the low winter sun here in Northern California. I like it a lot. I removed the feather (not really my style) and the liner, so it's cooler as I sweat. I'm really liking it on my daily walks right now.

My latest Gun Club. This hat came with a hideous macrame “ribbon.” I replaced the ribbon, brushed and steamed it, and let it sit a week in a band block. Fits perfect and the felt is softer than I was expecting. The brim measures 3 1/8 inches at the front and rear and 2 5/8 inches on the sides with the curl. The crown is 4 1/4 inches at the center dip. I’m still surprised at the diversity of hat styles that have carried the Gun Club name.

Mine has always fit well. Yours is.very nice. I'm getting to like the curled brims more all the time.

My only issue, and I’ve had it with a couple other Stetsons of this era, is that the sweatband has a nubuck feel to it. The feel isn’t the issue, but the surface sloughs off and ends up on your forehead and in your hair.

Here’s a recent Stetson Gun Club that my daughter, bless her heart, bought for me from Filson. It was marketed as a collaboration between Filson and Stetson, but as far as I can tell it’s a regular current issue Gun Club with a skinny leather band with a Filson badge and a jacked-up price tag (Filson style). It’s a nice heavy felt outback style hat, but nothing too remarkable about it.
Very nice, Brent. You wear that style well.Stetson The Gun Club Dune in sandstone.

A nice "formal" look to that one, Brent.

Anyone know where I can find a Gun Club just like the one Carter is wearing in 7 1/2 or 7 5/8? It looks tremendous!Best, Sam

If that's a 7 1/2 LO, I am definitely interested.
