The Roper — Custom Cowboy Hat
Make a bold Western statement with The Roper, a handcrafted cowboy hat built for dust, daylight, and long days in the arena.
This hat features a classic JB brim paired with the timeless Cattlemen crown, shaped by hand using traditional millinery techniques. Crafted from 100% rabbit fur felt in the ever-popular Silver-belly, it offers durability, individuality, and authentic Western character.
The brim is finished with a striking hand-burned team roping scene, capturing skilled cowboys on horseback working in perfect sync to control a powerful steer. Team roping is the only true team event in professional rodeo, demanding trust, timing, and precision between header and heeler - and this design honours that partnership, grit, and the raw energy of the Western way of life. 
Finished with a hand-cut water buffalo leather hat band accented by a black and gold buckle, every detail is thoughtfully chosen to honour Western heritage while standing apart as a true custom piece.
Inside, comfort meets craftsmanship with a smooth satin lining and a sheepskin leather sweatband, built for long wear and a fit that only improves with time.

Why the Conformer Matters
 
A Custom Hat Deserves a Custom Fit
No two heads are shaped alike. A tape measure only tells part of the story - our Conformer captures every curve, angle, and pressure point of your head, allowing your hat to be shaped precisely to you.
That’s why the Conformer is the foundation of every Branded Brims Custom Hat.
 
Conformer sizing is required
 
Hats ordered without a Conformer measurement are not eligible for remakes or fit corrections.
Your hat is shaped to your exact pattern, and that pattern can only be created using the Conformer.
If you want a hat that fits with true Western confidence, the Conformer isn’t optional — it’s essential.
 
👉 Be sure to add the Conformer to your cart before checkout.
