Jake Spoon Lonesome Dove Hat - our take on the Robert Urich hat style from the mini-series (1989)

Our take on the Indiana Jones adventure hat (fedora) from the Indiana Jones movie.
A classic fedora crown with a rakish curve to the brim brought this old hat back into public
favor with the enormously popular Indiana Jones movies. Harrison Ford established
himself as one of the top leading men in Hollywood with his portrayal of Archaeologist turned Treasure Hunter, Indiana Jones in 1981.

Our take on the Ike Clanton Movie Hat - from Tombstone {1993}
The 4 dent military style crown was a common crown treatment in the old west.

You may want to add one of our horse hair hat bands to complete the look.

Big Guys like big hats. And Dan Blocker was a big man right from the start. Weighing 14 pounds at birth he grew to be a 6' 4" and 300 pound favorite on the iconic TV Western, Bonanza. And his Hoss Cowboy hat was the most authentic old west hat, any of the cast of Bonanza wore.

The movie was put into wide release on January 23 1943, and at the Academy Awards of 1944, won 3 Oscars, including Best Film, Director, and Screen Play. Casablanca is perhaps the greatest example of film noir and the use of lighting and shadow is compelling. The scenes are brilliantly staged, and the dialogue is second to none.

Dylan Thunder - Our take on The Rolling Thunder hat from the 1960s.
Bob Dylan has some of the most dedicated fans, and his appeal is truly world wide. It should come as no surprise that there are festivals dedicated to bringing together all the various tribute singers of his timeless songs. We made this first hat, for one of them.

Our version of the Doc Holliday Cowboy Hat - from Tombstone {1993}
Doc's adversary amongst the Cow Boys, of course, was Johnny Ringo. So naturally the Doc Holliday Cowboy Hat is the opposite of Johnny Ringo's. The fedora working to the crown suggests culture and education, and the left turn up on the brim infers a dangerous bent to his personality.

Custer Civil War Cowboy Hat - George Custer was as flamboyant an old west personality as any of his generation, and was anything but camera shy. Many pictures exist of Custer and this one was taken at the end of the Civil War {1866} when Custer still held his battle rank of Major General.
