Buckaroo Hats: Original Buckaroo Hats in classical Vaquero, Buckaroo, Nevada and Elko hats.Such stylized hat tend to have flat brims with slightly higher brim on the rear. It also tend to have an oval ring on the top of the crown. The attractive style are the favorite of High Desert Buckaroos and Vaqueros found on horses and cattle ranches in Nevada, Southern Idaho, Oregon and California. Hat makers these days, big or small, use machines to make hats. All of our hats are built by hands and hand sewn without machines. All of our tools are over 100 years old including our conformateur and formillion, a tool used to measure one's head shape and to form precise head shaped hat. We only use highest quality beaver felts for all of our hats. No exceptions. When you order a hat from us you are getting the very best simply because we abide by the original craftsman values. If you are tired or fed up with "machine-made hats" you've come to the right place. Request for your measurement and receive estimate for your customized hat and you won't be disappointed. That's our pledge.~ Denio (Reg. ABCA) & Berry http://www.northvalleyhatco.com/gallery.html For Quality That Makes The Difference! “I make each hat as if it is the most important hat that I will ever make because it truly is.
