Western, anyone?

Regarding all weather hats...
While looking for a custom hat maker, i found both this forum, and Northwest Hats; they are just a few miles away, in Eugene OR.

I use a beaver hat working in all weather, which for me means working all day in the rain, some days, and often downpours mixed with sun. Southeaster rain hats are ok, but not that comfortable when the sun peeks out. Hoods are a no go, visibility not good. A beaver hat sheds the rain all day and remains comfortable in the sun.

I need a size 8, which can’t be found off the shelf any more, so custom it is. Mike at Northwest Hats made just what i needed — wide brim, etc., and very reasonably.

So there it is: a good beaver western is for me the best rain hat you can get!

It's hard to beat a Northwest hat in any configuration.

Here's the print pattern from one of the banded collar flour sack shirts that Scully repos. I have a couple of these & would like to have a Victorian collar to drop on them once in a while. Pic taken a few yrs ago with a Thoroughbred Derby 10X "Rebel" hat.

I was going to tell @Ross Young to blacken the beard on this & he could have a new avatar but you just might be a contender!
