We make working cowboy hats so all our hat bodies are color fast and will not run in the rain or wet snow.
You have 19 colors to choose from to have your hand made cowboy hat made from.
Our latest couple of colors were added in 2016. Buckskin, a nice warm earth tone and can be seen in our Frontera movie hat.
Our Union Cavalry Hat is shown in the other new color we added, NAVY BLUE.
Change the color to SAHARA or SILVER MIST and you have the Confederate version of this Civil War era Cavalry Hat. continued
Classic Cowboy Leather from the last best west
Back in the 1880s cowboys earned a dollar a day if they were good, and the luxury of a hand crafted leather holster, gun belt, or some other fine leather work might often be determined by their own skill or talent as a leather worker.
In the nineteenth century people of the west were much more self-sufficient, and the homesteaders or ranchers were by necessity resourceful and ingenious. Because in those days you couldn’t always ride to town and get what they wanted or needed.
So they made it – or paid a neighbor who was skilled to do it. Or you bartered your services for his. We try to stay as true to the old west makers as we can, and have incorporated what we found works over years of wear and use.
“Doin’ right ain’t got no end. . . .” Captain ‘Red Legs’ Terrill from The Outlaw Josey Wales. {1976}
Our hand-made hats and custom leather are made to order and to last!
Our badges and three lines of original poster art (Old West Posters, Authentic Wanted Posters, and Legends of the West) can be seen all over the world, from homesteads and club houses to fancy Dance Halls and Saloons. So take your time, have a mosey around. . .there’s a lot to see in The Last Best West.
