Looks Great... but flimsy
I have a lot of hats in my collection. I do western reenactment/gunfighter shows. I like having different hats for different characters. When I saw this hat on your website, I thought I'd finally found a style like the one that Tommy Lee Jones wore in "Lonesome Dove". I've wanted one for some time.
The hat I received looked exactly like the one advertised on the website.... I guess I just assumed it would be a sturdy hat. The quality of this hat is the type that you might find at a Halloween costume shop... perfect for one night of wearing.... but not something that will hold up through weekly shows.

This hat is very much like the one worn by "Billy Jack" in the movie from some time ago and this is exactly what I was after. Good material, stiff and well made. Hats like this sell for twice the amount I paid with Historical Emporium. Would highly recommend this item!!!
Very nice hat but Capt. Woodrow Call would've preferred it a bit thicker material. Will look great when I add my sorrel and black braided horse hair stampede string cuz first thing I did was throw away that "lil chin strap" as they call it and "season" it for 2 weeks hanging in barn. Nuff said! Woodrow this ones for you :))

I love my new hat! Came in the day it said it would. Amazing American Made quality!. And it is big enough to fit my dome!

This hat seemed light at first, but after working with it for a while the weight feels great. For the money I do not believe you can buy a better quality hat made anywhere, let alone one made in the USA.

This hat was purchased for a Halloween, western-themed party. The hat is beautifully made and detailed. This is exactly the hat W.F. Call wore in "Lonesome Dove". My husband should win the prize for most authentic costume! Thanks for offering such high-quality goods and for the quick delivery.

The hats I bought, the Montana Open Crown and the Planter Flat Crown, are well made, priced right, and were delivered promptly.

The hat was too round . . . Unlike a persons head. It was too stiff to have any give to be comfortably worn. We are sending it back for an exchange.

Wonderful hat. I portray a U.S. marshal in the 1860's and it works very well. The wide brim is also great to help keep the sun out of my eyes. Western Emporium is great to deal with. They really know what customer service means. Terrific group of people.

The hat is quite stiff but not terribly uncomfortable. The draw string does not work very well
