First we start with the best felt money can buy and the spend hours shaping and finishing it to perfection! These are the finest cowboy hats in the West! A Blend of Natural Beaver felt and Wild European Hare, that will wear well for years. Unlike store bought hats with no beaver content, these hats will hold their shape for years and are very easy to maintain. Beaver Fur has the ability to shed water and is barbed, having the ability to interlock when ironed and steamed. So durable they can be washed, turned inside out, and rebuilt for a new life years later! The Cattleman is our best selling horse show hat and a classic cowboy shape. We start with a 6 inch crown, with tight, clean shaping. I love a high side men's brim, or a soft rounded pencil curl on a 4.5 inch brim for women. If you have any specific ideas or pictures of what you want, please contact us so we can build you exactly what you like! Let your imagination run wild! Available in all colors with your choice of binding and brim size. Please allow several months as this is a custom build. Sometimes we can get them out sooner, but due to the felt manufacturers timing we cannot guarantee exact dates. If you have any questions about your head size please check out our head sizing chart. We will help you with any questions on sizing you may have, as correct sizing is a must! Hatbands are not included, you can check them out on the Hatbands page. If there is no hatband selected we will attach a matching ribbon band. Hats take several weeks to produce.
