This custom made hat comes in two basic styles: hard leather (like those from the American west) and soft leather (like those from the Australian outback).  Both hats are made from natural high-quality cowhide leather, carefully crafted and hand stitched according to your head size, and stained or oiled for a rich finish.  The hard leather hat includes an elk skin sweatband.  Regardless of style, this hat has a comfortable fit and, with its generous 3 1/2 inch brim, will repel rain, snow and sun.
