Help with Purchasing a Cowboy Hat

I'd like to spend $20, but could expand to $50. I don't see myself wearing it that often.

I just don't want to look ridiculous. I know, probably a lost cause.

I have never seen a Cowboy/western had worthy of my head in that price range...sorry. I have two forget the name of my felt but its a good one and I have an awesome Charlie 1 horse with a skull w/wings emblem, black, rolled straw that I wear now and then. I wore it to a gig last weekend. I find 75- 100.00 is decent to me. Look for a closeout and you might find a decent one cheaper. www.charlie1horse.com
 
Cowboy hat? I laugh at your cowboy hat! What you need is a Soviet Admiral's cap:

WHAT! No boots! Being a cowboy or pretending to be one, is not cheap that's for sure. :smug:

That's for sure. I used to think it was a nice paying gig.

Seriously, if I'm going to spend $$ I need to talk to the bandleader about some repeat bookings. I can't spend all this coin for a single gig.

Boots, Hat, Shirt, Buckle, Bolo Tie......I may as well play a Fodera.

Some advise from South Texas, I'd hold off on the bolo tie unless you're over 70 and own a ranch. And if you're wearing a hat, the boots are mandatory. Nothing says "wannabe" like a cowboy hat at reboks or loafers. Remember The Alamo! :D
