This new style (2006) from Golden Gate has that popular distressed look and includes a hand-rolled brim. The distinctive lone star, front and center on a braided leather trim, makes it "the" hat for anyone wanting to associate himself or herself with the great state of Texas. The brim is 3 5/8 inches in the front and 4 inches in the back (good shade for the neck). The comfortable cushioned cotton sweatband and WEATHERALL water repellent treatment complete this "Made in the USA" classic cowboy hat.
