Ordered hat is just what I needed.
							
		 
		
			Costume for first Atlanta police officer killed in the line of duty, 1872. With added insignia will work fine. Would be nice if available in  XXL.

			I was searching for a new "billy jack" hat without spending $500, I took a chance on this hat and Wow !! Well made, brim at least comparable to a 10x stetson. Very stiff. I couldn't be happier!!!

			As an actor portraying a sheriff well before 1900, i needed this sort of hat and ... within a week!  The hat arrived well before the scheduled delivery date, safely inside a sturdy box.  I received compliments on my 'period correct' hat - so you deserve my compliments!  Thank you!

			I should have paid more attention to the review from Rich from San Antonio (7/2/16).  The hat is very stiff does feel flimsy.  The xl I purchased was slightly too large but since I didn't care for the hat, I decided to return rather than exchange.  That's where the problem comes in.  Because the hat can not be stacked, it requires special handling from shippers.  That was explained to me at UPS who wanted $57 to ship back.  After that, I called Historical Emporium for help.  Their only suggestion was to try the Post Office.  I did and they wanted $47.  So I guess I'll just hold on to it or see if I can donate it to a theater company.
		
		
		
 
   
 
 
		
		
		
			It is not the first time I buy from Montana the most interesting clothing if not frontier gear. I miss my Remington too, but I have found the hat I always been looking for, this one! I can't give 5 stars for a simple reason. I am not used to do it I have just managed to wear it half hour in a two weeks delivery timeline! Not enough but it fits perfectly well on my head. Better if I had `Geronimo's face but I don't and yet, having had it made extra water repellent, I am super pleased with it. Now I need to find a rattle snake skull and I will be happy with it all. Where do I live?~ In Cornwall, UK! if anybody could  see how many idiots are having holiday around with thick leather hats looks like they have just missed an audition for a part in a western film. I spotted this hat in a very old movie with John Wayne. I was fourteen. Now 72 finally found it. Stunning one believe me...better with a mokassin's skull on the forehead by the way

			I got a Montana open crown ordered and sent This IS Wyatt Earp
The wide brim tall crown  the simple but effective way this old west "lawman" hat was made harkens back to a tough no nonsense time
If your a reenactor Looking for reproduction head gear...THIS Historical Emporium is the store to mount up with  Good prices good product Hats seem to be researched and match old west photos !
Hat is easy to keep brushed and clean. Hat feels comfortable It's wool Hats in the old times WERE made of wool I'm happy camper with staff and product They care! Staff gets your order gets your hat to you in good shipment box, well marked! So I give Historical Emporium big thumbs up. Steam punk alert! stovepipe hats available
at this site!

			Looked a long time, in real trading posts and western wear catalogs and shops, and this is the best "Injun Joe" hat.  Very sturdy, beautiful surface, perfect fit.

			I purchased an extra large, and I could barely force it onto my head and it sat there painfully. They definitely need to expand the range of available sizes. Other than that the hat seemed to be of decent quality.

			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!!!
