I bet Luke Adams could customize something without the metal hooks/rings.
Good idea. If you want to do something like that do you just start a new thread in his area or PM him or what?
BTW where did you get the hat?
I don't remember I have had it for a long time, probably ordered it out of some place in Sydney I would guess. Lawarance ordanace would be my guess off the top of my head. I have a couple of them. Great hat I love it.
Looks Australian.
It is indeed.
Indeed. It looks very much like the Akubra Aussie Slouch Hat, open crown version, with a bash. 
Right on the money there.
El Paso Saddlery sell a hanger. It's a leather "belt loop" with the holes for the holster hanger. Made to slide onto a leather belt with no holes and allow use of those holsters.
You might also try Pacific Canvas & Leather

Thanks there 1911 hanger looks to be exactly what I need! Price looks good too. I think I will have to order that before deciding if I want ot try and have some one modify the holster.
Pacafic canvas and leather is where I got the holster if I remember right. I have had it for.....

I don't know

longer than my slouch hat.
Like this?


Some thing like that would be about ideal. Except I would want the hanger above the swivle part. Though what you have there looks like it would work great to if not better.
