I’m thinking about having an open-crown hat—a "Boss of the Plains" style—made. Any recommendations from my esteemed friends in the USA on where to get a good one? Nothing super fancy costing $2,000, though.

These guys are great. Follow them on IG. Can make anything you want.

@Sage954 that Texas Flood one is pretty freaking rad

@endo see if https://havstadhatco.com/ have something for you. she was really cool on the podcast with alex.

Thanks @tody thought of that. But I assume it takes ages and would be out of my price range.

Not mto and a little different in style, but Akubra makes great full brim hats

[endo]

thanks @wjw great hats and reasonable prices, but the one I'm looking for is not among them.

@endo Have you had a look at the Stetson’s…There might be one that fits your needs and you could save a ton of money by buying off the shelve versus made to order. Most of the places that sell them, steam them to get a semi-custom fit and look as well.

Anyone have recommendations for a denim ball cap with a curved brim? Also, just brands in general you like for ball caps. I have a big head and like hats with a structured high crown. I also love a flexfit. The filson tin cloth mesh logger fits just about perfect. New ear hats I'm between 7 3/4 and 8.

@wjw you could try Ciano Farmer. He’s making denim caps out of cone mills denim and also using hickory stripe, Wabash, and different weights and colors of canvas.

@jordanscollected those hats look sweet. I'm going to reach out to them and see if any of their hats go bigger than 24" for my big noggin. Thanks for the recommendation

I got in touch with Todd—very helpful guy. Ordered this one:

I only just found out that he also made the hat for Kevin Costner in 'Horizon'.

@endo Looking forward to when you get this and hearing how you like it. How long is the wait time? He makes some cool looking hats!

[endo]

@Denman-John I ordered it about four weeks ago, and now it’s already on its way to Baltimore, where it will be waiting for me.
