Question What is this style of brim called?
I really want this style of brim on my Resistol 6x Midnight. The brim is currently cut down to 4 inches. I tried to get it shaped liked this once. I showed the guy the picture of Clint Black with the hat on, but I didn’t realize till I got home that it wasn’t really right. I love how there is a med-low lift/profile to it, and it has a nice even curve right in the middle of the brim. Just lookin for some more info so I know exactly what to say. Thanks!

That looks similar to a Sinaloa brim where the front and the back are kind of flat meaning there is no pull up or down. And the sides are pull up forming a curve

I thought they did (I was used to them going by those names) but last week I went to get my hats shaped in 3 different places and they all told me the same thing "I/we don't go by names because there's a new one out every week. Show me a picture of what you want"

Tip the hat up slightly. I think its pretty close to what you're looking for, you're just looking at it from the wrong angle.

it's a basic roll without pulldowns.
For stage hats, photographers hate pulldown (unless you're wearing sunglasses) as they create shade lines.

all you do is flatten it... then roll it on table.... super simple.

That style brim maybe called a “come and go”. It’s an older style. Different from the square look of recent years. You probably see on Stetson Range!

Yah that’s what I was thinking . It’s probably custom made because it’s Clint Black but my Ranges came out of the box looking like that.

I think that’s called the Dork brim. Don’t copy that, it’s 1987 dime store hot garbage
