Looking for hat information?

How about a Tom Mix? You might need to iron out the curl to get the full five inches. You can also have one made for you; Agnoulita on Etsy (Agnoulitahats) can make you one in wool or fur felt for less than the hats you’ve been looking at.

I don't know of any off the rack hats with a 5" brim. Knudsen and Last Best West offer them on custom hats. I'd imagine Buckaroo as well.

 

The Stetson Tom Mix is 5 inches, but the curl eats up some of the width and would need to be ironed flat if the full 5 was wanted.

I think the OP was looking at a more economical choice hence my Agnoulita suggestion...maybe $150 with shipping?

5" rims? Easy and not felt. 25% off this week if you are on their email list. I have two of them. Decent hats @ full price. Very nice hats at 25% off

Guess some info needs to be added. You won't find a decent factory made hat over 5" Most won't make 5" on a good day. I've never seen @ 6" and darn few at 5". At 5" wool hat is just junk and not worth buying IMO. Brim won't hold its shape. Most store bought cowboy hats will be 4" +/-. Going rate for a custom built hat, on a Winchester 100% beaver blank is $450 plus shipping. 5" brim hats are not the norm. Most blanks come in 4.5" +/- once blocked. It is pretty much impossible to get a brim bigger than 5" on the Winchester blanks if you have a 7+ size hat and want a 5 to 6 inch crown. 6" open crown is pretty typical in a western hat prior to shaping. 5" is a short crown. 7" is not uncommon. Wearing them there is a huge difference from my perspective between a 4" brim and a 5" brim. More yet when it gets over 5". Same with crowns, 5" is pretty short, 6" a better fit and a 7" is too tall. I wear a 7.5 hat size.

This is a typical store bought cowboy hat, 4.5 Brim, 5" crown. It was made by Flying Cloud, a Amish hat maker and a really good hat for the price. May be the best "cowboy" hat you can get for the price currently.



This is a 5" crown, 4.75" brim, custom made 100% beaver hat. It is a BIG hat by any standard in a part of the country where folks are used to seeing big hats.

 

This is a 5.25" brim and a 4.75" crown....it is a BIG hat I don't wear when it is windy. Seriously. As I mentioned I wear a 7.5 hat. Big head and I am 6'1" 200+ on my good days. Bigger the body and head the easier it is to wear a big hat. Something to think about when looking for a big brim hat.

Here is a 5 inch brim made by Buckaroo.

 

Thanks. Other than the RJ hat they are all handmade 100% beaver hats.
