Longfellow wearing the Johnny Ringo Custom Cowboy Hat

1898 Roughrider hat.

Like all clothing the type, shape, and color of your hat defines your personality. It's highly unlikely that any other single piece of clothing carries the mystic that a quality, distinctively shaped cowboy hat does.

Nothing a traditional cowboy wore was as unique as his hat and the big hat was adjusted by working cowboys to reflect the varied weather and terrain they faced in the North American West of the 19th Century.

Sassy Ladies hats.

Sonja

Yellowstone Kelly

B-Western Classic.

Rossitter Cavalry Hat.

Beans in the pot
Bacons in the pan.
Eat 'em while they're hot
Get 'em while you can
.
-Old West trail Cooks
call to supper.

1898 Roughrider hat.

Grease up your guns outlaw's
And cinch them on tight. . . .
There'll be blood a runnin',
In town before night.

There'll be gun's a blazin'
And singin' with lead
Tonight you'll be drinkin'
Your drinks with the dead.

Excerpt from
The Outlaw's Lament

Open Range Custom Leather Chaps.

Classic Slim Jim Holster.

Longfellow's - The Last Best West.

Titus Pullo - the Red Heeler.

Code of the Old West:
Never touch a Cowboy's hat
or try to pat his dog.

Home of The Last Best Cowboy Hat.

  We are designers and makers of hand made cowboy and western hats, hatbands, custom gun leather, chaps, and leather accessories. We strive for authenticity in the pieces we reproduce from the 19th and early decades of the 20th century. Our custom hats and cowboy leather is made to order and to last.

We promise to make no two custom pieces exactly the same - and our originality and individuality bring clients back time and again to our order catalogue. Moreover, we use what we design and make in Wild West Shows and at SASS Events. We are experts on the old west; cowboys, their tools and western film history - but we do not know everything.

Our latest custom hat design for Ladies is our City Lights. Modeled at right by our Social Media specialist, Robyn, the hat screams, "I'm a Lady of the West!"

We had some fun with our FACEBOOK FRIENDS, who helped us pick the hats name. The winning name was submitted by Dennis Massie and he'll be getting a customized shirt from The Last Best West. Thanks to all who played along!

COWBOYS AND INDIANS MAGAZINE
Our thanks to Cowboys and Indians Magazine for giving us a shout out in your Christmas Issue. We're flattered our Josey Wales hat was featured in the Holiday Gifts for the Western Fan, section of the December 2009 issue. Yer show exquisite taste!

The Cowboy Code or Code of the Old West

The Code of the West was an intangible thing born out of necessity for survival, and is more of an observation on how people acted, then anything else. . .in essence this was the Code of the West: A true Cowboy always helps his neighbor, feeds a stranger and his horse, and maintains his free and in dependant spirit. In the Old West you never asked a stranger his name or where he came from. It was considered a slight to call another man by his last name - and often last names weren't even known. A cowboy's loyalty to his ranch, his friends, and his abilities as a rider and a cow hand were all that mattered. Click for more about the Code of the Old West.

Cowboy Ten Commandments

Just one God.

Honor yer Ma and Pa.

No telling tales or gossipin'.

Git ye to Sunday meetin’.

Put nothin' before God.

No foolin' around with another fella's gal.

No killin'.

Watch yer mouth.

Don't take what ain't yers.

Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's gear.

Longfellow

Custom Hand Made Hatbands

New in 2011 is our custom line of hand made hat bands. Our creative and original designs are just the thing to jazz up an old hat. The designs are different enough to appeal to most people, and a great gift for any cowboy that likes to stand out from the herd!

We've adapted a horn slider (SEEN BELOW) so every hat band ties off at the back and is held in place by light pressure. It's surprisingly fast and you can easily take our hatband off and put it on a different hat. This design innovation gives a dang fine fit every time.

"No one 'Gave me' this black eye son, I had to fight for it. . . ." Conn Conagher

We've added a slew of new pictures of our work - check out our gun leather page.

Crow Beadwork adorns the barrel end of our latest rifle sheath - a full length version of our dynamic, John Wayne Searchers rifle Sheath. Click to see.

Have a look at our Fancy Buscadero with a tapered belt end - another first for The Last Best West, as far as we know. Click here for our CLassic Buscadero - the Have Gun Will Travel Rig. This is the style of gun rig most of us are familiar with, and can be seen in almost all of your favourite tv and movie westerns from the 1950s-60s and 1970s.

Old West Posters

Posters

Authentic Wanted Posters
Our poster paper is heavy duty stock, special ordered by the ream, and is the closest we have found to actual parchment paper that would have been used in the 19th century. It's heavy weight and won't get torn or blown off the hitching post! We don't stain it (reducing it's life) all our aging is done with graphics - making them crisp and clear. Posters are all ~ 11 x 17 inches and are shipped flat.
