Strange that everone jumps on about his 8x not being beaver when he originally stated that it was in fact rabbit.. Looks to me as though it is a nice hat. I would certainly consider if I did not have an AB on order.That's a nice looking hat, though! It looks good on you. It's all the better that your hatter is nearby! Keep in mind, though, that the Beaver Brand hats are beaver blends and not full, 100% beaver hats. The system of using XXXXX to notate beaver content used to mean something decades ago, but now it's a pretty useless indicator since every other hatter makes up their own definition of the "X" system. If it were a 100% beaver hat, I can guarantee you would've paid a LOT more than $175 for it! Still, I've owned several Beaver Brand hats and have been very pleased with them. They are fine hats and should last a long time. Well done!
Thanks for the comments, but I edited my original post. The hat band says 8XXXXXXXX Beaver, but I was corrected by Several as you can see from above and Beaver Hat's directly. Oh well, good thing this is only a hobby cause I would be BK if not....

BTW---Everyone should get a WOLF'S HATTERY RAIDERS FEDORA for their own collection. It is a GREAT hat and at a great price too.
H.e.l.1. with the Plymouth, lets just sit here. I have some Wild Turkey and some Kuba Kuba's to smoke. Hurry up they will not last.... Regards.

PS, re Wolf and re-block viewtopic.php?t=23255
Me too. An nope, you are wrong Strider, the brim is not too wide, just my head is too narrow. (But thanks for noting) Indycop, please punch one as I light my match. Your Wild Turkey is here.....BTW, every occasion is a great occasion to...........You know.Indycop wrote:I personally like the wider brim. I don't think it is really that wide though, at least not to me.
Cowboy I've got the cutter and the lucys!
I am willing to bet a Big Larry on it that WOLLF'S HATTERY makes the RAIDERS FEDORA in Black.Indycop wrote: especially since this is my last night on then I'm off til next saturday night. Gotta go by the cigar shop which is a great place for a fed by wolfs hattery!
On a serious note do you think they make those in black?
Luck you, I work one more week and then I am off for 10.....Hmmm, what to do then : I am getting a new cigar crib for my upcomming trip and of course no cigar case should be empty, so it will be KUBA Kuba and some Partagas Blacks
Darn tootin Strider......I am glad you came to that conclusion .....(running away very fast from Striders Whip!!!)Strider wrote:Isn't that..uh..the same thing? Anyway, it still looks nice, even though it's not particularly my cup of tea.

It is nice that while talking about the WOLF'S HATTERY RAIDERS FEDORA, everyone here in the fedora section is so good natured! Not like the negative vibe in the jacket section.... :evil:
Cowboy... The new lid looks great and it is nice to find a local hat maker willing to work with you on custom specs!

Why thank you my good man for complimenting me on my WOLF'S HATTERY RAIDERS FEDORA...Yes, it is too bad there are too many cry-babies over there. It is just a hobby.....Anyway, great to hear from you again...Best Regards for a fabulous Day....Cowboycoronado3 wrote:It is nice that while talking about the WOLF'S HATTERY RAIDERS FEDORA, everyone here in the fedora section is so good natured!

Uh, fellows, all the same people frequent these areas.

Agreed, except for the fact that when these good fellows go into the "JACKET" forum, they have a tendency to become beasts it something like I have never seen, it is not of this earth.Michaelson wrote:Uh, fellows, all the same people frequent these areas.

This is not a suggestion now.
Michaelson
Yeah, we know... It is all in fun!
It is just nice that we have so many options in Hats, jackets, whips, etc. It seems that each hat manufactuer (or jacket for that matter) seems to fit a particular film or scene's look. I just got an AB and it is dead on raiders, where as my Akruba really looks great in the TOD rope bridge scene style. Cowboy's WOLF'S HATTERY RAIDERS FEDORA seems like it would be great at the Raiders style or if bashed a little looser, a great LC hat.
Plus the great thing about having so many options in IndyGear is that like Art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Even when 'smilies' are attached, it's a fine line between comedy and bashing, especially when a response is made to a post that has :evil: included in the thread.
In this case, it came across as bashing. Apparently the Scary COW adm. guy agreed (and no, I am NOT one of the Scary Cow adm. guys.)

If it's from Beaver brand, it's more than likely identical in thickness to a Keppler.
The difference I see is that Lee advertises his to be a 6x at $140, and Cowboy's Wolf version is an 8x at $175. As we learned, the 'x' factor really means nothing now, so it's hard to determine what is what....but I'd say the difference would be minimal, and really only determined by a hatmaker.

That's true. The Camptown seems a bit heavier than the Keppler or Beaver brand, but the finish is better due to more beaver felt content.
No, the Camptown felt is Winchester felt now.

From what I'm told, your only chance to get hold of one would be if a hat maker who has a contract with them would be willing to sell you one. Winchester is finally selling smaller lots than they used to, but they will not sell single items at all.
They sell bulk, and are pretty picky who they sell to.

I think that the price he is currently asking is pretty fair, but then again, maybe I am "Smoking Crack"Indycop wrote:So many choices, so little money. This site should be named club crack because you get one hat and you're hooked, gotta have another and another..... ( Cop humor sorry)
Now you just gotta convince him to do a club discount!

Nope, you're not smoking a thing, Cowboy...well, at least not in THAT way. (grins)
His price is right there with everyone else. Like I said yesterday (somewhere ), Lee Keppler's Beaverbrand 6x is cataloged at $140 (guessing that this is still correct on his website), and Wolf is pricing his custom Beaverbrand 8x at $170, so he's right there with the rest of the pack.

Undoubtably fair. Ten less than I paid for my PB! What kind of emblem is in the hat? With a name like wolf I'm picturing something pretty cool. Or maybe I'm just thinking of that beer redwolf!
