Custom Cowboy Hat – The 1957

Custom Cowboy Hat – The 1957 Custom Cowboy Hat – The 1957.  A classic cowboy hat style Richard Boone wore one. So did Dean Martin. Richard Benjamin the star of the original West World movie wore one. Fact is you could tune into just about any tv show or western film from the 1950s and 1960s and see one. And it is still popular today with the Whitey character from the NETFLIX series Godless sporting one. The front crown pinch might be wider or narrower, the brim might have less or more curl. But they are just a variation of this timeless cowboy hat shape. So we thought this was a good representation of this cowboy hat style, we are calling 1957.

It consists of beaver and/or rabbit/hare fur blended with felt to produce a material that lasts 5-10 times longer than wool-felt. A fine Beaver and Beaver blend fur-felt hat can be re-worked and shaped numerous times, with just a steam iron and a bit of patience. And is one of the finest materials from which to manufacture quality hats. We start with the best fur-felt hat body available – made in the USA – and fashion as fine a custom western hat as you can find.
