In the Akubra Riverina safarized thread I mentioned that I had pulled out a several decade old Resistol Quicksilver cowboy hat with a 7" crown and 4" brim and taken it to Brad Montague, custom hat maker and owner of Eye of the West custom hats. http://www.thelastbestwest.com/index.html
Before:
It was cut down to a crown 5" on the sides and 4.5" in front with a 3.5" brim. Brad wove a rawhide hatband to replace the original silver job too.
After:
At least now, with the transformation, this old hat will see some wear as I no longer wear cowboy hats
