Inspired by the memorable hat worn by the late Pete Duel in the cult classic TV Western series "Alias Smith and Jones" 
 
It's no secret that "Smith and Jones" was encouraged by the then box office smash "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", right down to the casting of two young actors who resembled Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The series had the same dry humor and was peppered every week with well known (or at least very familiar looking) western character actors, not to mention some other interesting casting including Sally Field and Rudy Valle.
Even though this series only lasted three years, and was hit with the most devastating of tragedy's, it has continued to live on through a network of an ever growing fan base throughout the world, especially in the UK, now made even more popular with the release of the full Series on DVD. The casting of Pete Duel as Hannibal Heyes (alias "Joshua Smith"), and Ben Murphy as Jed "Kid Curry" (alias "Thaddeus Jones") was pure genius, and obviously was the reason for its popularity at the time, not to mention and all these years later.

As beautiful as this classic high crown Western hat is, the special hatband is really what defined this as a "Hannibal". Baron's took special care and great research to craft the two silver Concho shapes so they would match the original as close as possible. Each "Hannibal" (both in Fur Felt and Beaver), comes with a recreation of the original leather hatband, with both hand-inlaid crescent and rhombus shaped "dedos del öngel" silver Conchos surrounding the band.

In the second season the Heyes hat had stampede strings. Some fans like them and others would rather have the hat without them. It's a personal decision. If you do want them, we will install these special strings, each hand-woven to order, in the original pattern, for an additional price.

Since each "Hannibal" is hand crafted to order for you, please allow at least 4-6 months both creation of the hat, and the silversmithing of the original Concho hatband.
