The Range Rider

The Range Rider draws inspiration from the working range riders of the 1930s, brought forward through Dusty's interpretation of contemporary Western style. She also credits Kevin Costner's Yellowstone look as part of the inspiration behind the design. Shown in Chocolate Brown, The Range Rider has a substantial Western profile with a tall 5 3/4-inch hand-shaped crown and broad 4 1/4-inch brim. A narrow hatband with a gold buckle provides a simple, traditional finish that keeps the emphasis on the hat's strong silhouette. Designed for both men and women, The Range Rider combines the practicality and character of a working Western hat with Dusty's more refined approach to wearable art.

About This Collection

Every hat in the Commission Archives began with a conversation. Rather than following a predetermined design, each Original was created in collaboration with its owner—shaped by personal stories, individual style, and handcrafted decisions made throughout the creative process. Together, these pieces document the one-of-one commissions that have passed through Dusty's atelier.
