    Akubra Overload

    Hello all I am after some advice. I have several Akubras in black, rodeo brown, santone fawn and sand, and am looking to get a Rough Rider as my next model. Ideally I would get this in sand but they don’t offer it in that, so my closest option is light sand, but the catalog images of this shade...

    Justified FX Hat

    Also consider that what you see in the mirror looks very different to seeing it on someone else, it always looks much bigger than it actually is. I was absolutely convinced at one point that his was 3 inch going by the mirror method until I saw some pictures of it on and realised it looks...

    Justified FX Hat

    3 1/4 is what you want if you're going for screen accurate. His hat was a 7 1/4, if you're going much bigger then you might want to up that to 3 3/8 - 3 1/2. The different appearance over the years was largely down to the way the brim was shaped, the mid period where it looked shorter was...

    You can trim the Marshall down just like a fur felt, most people who buy it have done

    Justified FX Hat

    Assuming you are buying new in the region of $250 and are wanting an accurate copy without having to resort to reshaping it yourself, I would bypass the Carson and look at the replica sold by Knudsen for $270 at knudsenhats.com. You get the exact same quality Stetson but they shape the crown and...

    I used one of those brim cutters posted by 007 above, well worth the investment if you don't trust yourself to do it by hand

    The Resistol Roundup

    The sweatband and liner from the "30" (don't have a picture of the outside to hand): The 120, the liner has been replaced:

    The Resistol Roundup

    I have a couple of vintage Resistols here and was wondering if there is a way of determining the beaver content in either. One is a Diamond Horseshoe 120 (vintage unknown), I understand that the 120 referred to the original price but also heard that a 120 equated to a 20X beaver. Any truth in...

    Justified FX Hat

    I have the Jaxonbilt Justified. It is a nice hat but if you get it as standard you will be disappointed, it's far from 100% accurate. Definitely worth asking if you can send a bunch of photos to work from because the quality is great, but you will need to be very specific about what you want. I...

    Justified FX Hat

    The hat really came into it's own midway through season 2 until midway through season 4. It suddenly started to look lived in and developed it's own unique character with dents in the back of the crown and the pinch that just got greater with time. Hell, by the start of season 3 it had enough...

    Unless maybe Baron changed their liner design at some point? I have only ever been able to find that one picture and have no idea of the vintage. One thing I do know is that at $1k+ for their RG hat I don't imagine I'll ever be able to answer that! Thanks again to Rick, years of confusion...

    Justified FX Hat

    Why didn't I ever think of this? Hats off to you, that was a hell of an idea. Please do ask about the hat, my money is still on the main one being a Baron. Did anyone see this? Seemingly Olyphant went in there a while back and signed a replica for their hat museum. Great idea for the...

    Justified FX Hat

    I have both the 4X and 6X Carson and the crown height is the same, give or take. And you're right, his crown is higher. Or to be more precise, the center crown height is around the same but the side pinch (I'm sure there is a more technical term than that) is significantly higher than the Carson...

    Justified FX Hat

    Hello folks I have been following this thread as a spectator on and off over the years and think I can bring an element of closure to the mystery. As stated way back, Baron Hats in California claim to have made the original. I always questioned that as the version they sell (the RG) looks...
