Some hats are made to follow trends. Others carry the character of another era. This custom hand styled High Derby hat falls in the latter camp, drawing inspiration from the Dandy headwear worn by prosperous merchants, railroad men, town businessmen, and gentlemen of the frontier.
Skillfully styled from Silver Belly 10X fur felt, this hat features a tall 5.75-inch finished crown and a 2.5-inch bound brim that has a deep downward bend, making a distinguished profile that stands apart from the ordinary. The grosgrain ribbon hatband and matching binding provide a clean, finished appearance while preserving the timeless look of a well-made Western derby.
A Hat styled by River Junction about three decades ago, this Derby captures a classic design that has proven its staying power. The hat remains true to the traditions of quality fur felt craftsmanship, and for 30 yrs old it is still firm, and crisp that looks right at home in an Old West town or a modern collection.
