We have what we think is a dynamic cowboy hat design for the 21st century. Great for sun protection, with a 4 3/4 inch crown and a 4 inch brim the hat is tall enough and wide enough to give good all weather protection. We started with the classic Canadian (rectangular top dent) crown and deepened the front and side dents. The brim has a front drover style roll and we have a slight pencil roll at the back and through the sides.

The Drover from Australia

$375.00 – $2,810.00
The Drover from Australia - From the western, Australia. The style of cowboy hat worn by Hugh Jackman as Drover, hand made in 100x Mink fur felt by the last best west™.
Mink fur has 2 layers of fur protected by thick oil making it wonderfully waterproof. The thick under fur is protected by slightly longer guard hairs making the fur amazingly soft and luxurious. Mink coats and other clothing typically sell for 2000 dollars to 15,000 or even more. These mink hat bodies are some of the finest on the market and are relatively scarce in comparison to beaver hat bodies. As a result they are highly sought after and sell out quickly.

Mrs. Boss Cowboy Hat

$375.00 – $2,810.00
Mrs. Boss Cowboy hat in Pure beaver belly. We've modified one of the hat styles worn by Nicole Kidman, as Lady Sarah Ashley, or Mrs. Boss in the epic film Australia, to give it more of an outback flair. Ours has a wider brim with a drover style to it. Shown in 100% natural color Belly Beaver fur felt. Originally the term "silver belly" referred to the belly fur of the beaver. By the mid 20th century it came to only identify a specific color. Belly Beaver Fur Felt is the thickest and densest of the beaver hat bodies. Virtually waterproof, it consists of 100% belly beaver fur blended with felt to produce a strong hat body very soft to the hand.
