Lee Van Cleef sure could wear that hat. I also like the low derby that Emillo Esteban wore as Billy, in Young Guns.

Andrew- I so enjoy your videos! It is very important for young people like yourself to perpetuate the spirit of the Old West. Not only are you conveying interesting historical lore, you are teaching the younger generation about our past that doesn't get taught in the schools anymore. I will turn 78 next week and I remember as a kid being glued to the TV, wearing my twin Colts, watching my idols like Hop Along Cassidy, Roy Rogers, Lash Larue, Johnny Yuma, Gene Autry, and Paladin. These shows, although well seasoned with Hollywood inaccuracies, instilled a love of the Wild West that lasts to this day. As a native Californian, I have been fortunate to have had so many ghost towns and gold camps to explore over the last five decades, each visit serving as a "booster shot" in the arm for the West. To this day I still make a point of visiting the ghost town of Bodie in the Eastern Sierras, one of the best preserved ghost towns in the U.S. I'm rambling, but I just wanted to say that young people like yourself are playing a critical role in keeping this short but important period in our nation's history right up front for all to see . Keep up the good work! Steve

I think the “flat crown” flat brim hat was very popular, not only for looks but practicality.

The square "brick" fold looks pretty smart on that slouch hat.

Maybe a "triangular" Denton fold for a sporty look.

[ArizonaGhostriders]

Musta missed this one! Great collection.

[tumbleweed]

Fun and interesting video I love Tombstone it’s also I of my favorite westerns

Cheers from Colorado.

That's interesting, I've always heard it as the bowler, even being an American citizen, that's funny lol

I love that Montana 4-pinch. Ok, not so much the 4-pinch, but that brim is incredible. I would leave the brim as is an do a “Gus” pinch. This is a great video. That Beaver hat is beautiful!

"grossgrain" is pronounced "grow-grane" Threw me too! Love your hats!

The Open Crown, Telescope/Gambler Creased Crown, Flat or Round Crowned hats with Wide Brims are the types of hats I find cool.

The Top Hat Society, a Multiversal Crime Syndicate Mercenary Organization especially likes those types of hats. Those types of hats are Acceptable for them. Cowboy hats that have those other types of Creases are not accepted, but if you can stack a hat that is acceptable on top of that creased hat, or you change the shape of the hat to fit the Top Hat Society’s Requirements, then it’s acceptable.

Shorter brims might serve your thin frame better.

[SamlSchulze]

Tell me what you think, chief.
A modified slouch hat

Higher rear crown
Webbing on the crown
High crown hook or velcro to fasten the brim on either side
Chinstrap doubles as a crown size adjuster
Heavy gauge wire in the rim for durability and shaping.
Denton/brick fold with option of pencil rolled style.
Waxed heavy-duty canvas or other sporty synthetic blend

My thought process is if the Australian slouch hat and the SF boonie hat had a love child for the military folks and/or the common man.

If I’m not mistaken Mr Tom Hirt made the hat for Mr Kilmer.

👍for Baron's Hats. I have one of their Man in Black hats and one of their The Walking Dead/ Rick Grimes hats sans the badge. The TWD hat doesn't seem to be available anymore.

Been wearing my El Dorado for 10 years now.

[fishelbresler]

Thank you for sharing your interest and knowledge. For future videos, though: "gros grain" is pronounced "Grow grain, " not "Grawss grain." and the edge is "bound, " not "binded."

[dhjoubert]

I dig you the most. Thanks for the video. I loved it. I don't know you, if you are famous, great, if not, you could be.

Is the turnup in the front of the Doc Holliday hat so you can raise a rifle without knocking it off?

[Anton_the_Vampire]

I have a question: do you know what type of hat Lee Van Cleef wore in "For a Few Dollars More"?

[angelikamaris]

Hi Andrew, i'm into spaghetti westerns movies and love the hat that 'Silenzio' wear
in the movie 'The great silence'.
Can you tell me what type of hat Silenzio wear ?
Love your channel!
