As a hat lover, I was pleased to find out that the oldest hat manufacturer in the United States, Beaver Brand Hats, sells custom cowboy hats. They have been around since before the civil war and their 2nd/3rd generation hat makers really know how to build a quality traditional cowboy hat. I wear my Beaver Brand cowboy hat everywhere. See how they began:
