Lee Van Cleef sure could wear that hat. I also like the low derby that Emillo Esteban wore as Billy, in Young Guns.
I think the “flat crown” flat brim hat was very popular, not only for looks but practicality.
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
Thank you very much, Steve! All of what you said is very touching and a big reason why I do these videos! I love the old west and try to get it as accurate as I can when covering it! It’s also great to hear that I can reach a broadened audience to share this very interesting time period in the United States! So again, I appreciate the support and hope you enjoy what’s on the way in the future!

P.S. Ghost towns are my weakness. Always try to get to the well preserved out west when I can!
You werent rambling, would really like to hear other places youve explored/ experiences you've had out west. Im from indiana and have only been to nevada once so havent been able to see much of it
The square "brick" fold looks pretty smart on that slouch hat.
Maybe a "triangular" Denton fold for a sporty look.
Musta missed this one! Great collection.
Oh man, Santee! Going to the channel’s deep cuts! I don’t know where you find the time!
Fun and interesting video I love Tombstone it’s also I of my favorite westerns
Cheers from Colorado.
Colorado huh?! Excellent state! And tombstone? A gem! Thanks for watching friend!
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!
Thank you, Chuck! The best thing about fur felt hats is with a little moist heat, they can become something totally new! Thanks for watching!
"grossgrain" is pronounced "grow-grane" Threw me too! Love your hats!
Got to love that Midwest accent! Thanks for watching, Bob! Appreciate it!
That's interesting, I've always heard it as the bowler, even being an American citizen, that's funny lol
If I’m not mistaken Mr Tom Hirt made the hat for Mr Kilmer.
I do believe you’re correct!
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.
👍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.
They do awesome work. And it sounds like you have some pretty handsome choices in terms of your headwear options! Thanks for watching!
Shorter brims might serve your thin frame better.
Been wearing my El Dorado for 10 years now.
Very nice!
Thanks!
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.
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."
Thank you! I can’t believe you’re the first person to let me know that I was saying these wrong, but I appreciate it.
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.
learned a lot ! Thank you for this
No problem! Thanks for watching!
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!
Thank you friend! The one I’m seeing, in the original at least, looks like a 6” open crown with a 3”-3 1/2” flat, natural edge brim! Shouldn’t be too tough to track one of those down! Hope this helps!
@@SaintAndrewTV 👍
Very fast delivery 😉
@@angelikamaris8728 always!
I have a question: do you know what type of hat Lee Van Cleef wore in "For a Few Dollars More"?
I’m not entirely sure where to get that specific hat, but the dimensions are 4 1/2” telescopic crown and a 4” bound edge brim! Hope that helps!
Is the turnup in the front of the Doc Holliday hat so you can raise a rifle without knocking it off?
That and more vision for a right handed shot. Clears most of your line of sight. Not sure if it’s the reason for the Val Kilmer hat specifically, but historically that was it’s purpose.
Trying to figure out if i should go with the larger or smaller brim on the doc hat
Go with what fits your head shape the best. I have a larger head, so the larger brim is proportional. Hope this helps!
@@SaintAndrewTV does the 4 inch measurement include the upturned edge? Making it shorter with a straight across measurement?
@@emiliog9402 yes it does. The brim, from my understanding at least, is measured before it’s worked on. So it’s 4” of total brim, but will not stick out 4” because of the curve and pencil curl.
I laughed my ass off. You sat down and the camera was too high. Almost every hat you wore could have been the same hat. Just funny. I'm following you.
Thank you kindly, Deon! I’m glad! And I appreciate the sub!
How does one get into hat fabrication?
How I did it was going to antique stores and looking for good, beaver hats in your size. Regardless of shape, you can use warm, moist heat to shape it into something brand new!
What…no Gus…?
What about Johnny Ringo????????
Love the vid!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
