Vintage Reverse Pencil Curl Western?

[Lance Carbunle]

Hello Everyone,

Long time Hat guy, first time poster.

I recently acquired a vintage Miller Bro's hat and it isn't like any hats I have seen before. It has what I would call (for lack of a better term), a reverse pencil curl brim. Unlike most pencil curl hats I have seen, it is also, a curved and turned brim and not a flat brim like most pencil curl brims I have found.

Is there an era where this was a popular style, or is it an odball? I really love this hat and just wanted to see if I could find any info on this style because while I have collected and enjoyed hats for years, I have never really geeked out on them and don't know much. I would love to see any similar hats if any members have one.


Thanks in advance, Lance.

Welcome to the Lounge! There is at least one other like that around here. Pretty sure it was a short-lived styling.

Edit: Found it, but the photo links are broken. At least we know it was another Miller Bros. (made for Adam).

Odd.

it would take some getting used to, for me.

Better in the rain ….. no bird bath effect.
