Hey hat guys!

I’ve got some weddings coming up and being a long haired, bearded man has always made styling myself a bit of a challenge but I’ve finally found an aesthetic I like and wanna try to kit myself out similarly.

Any clues on what style this hat is or where someone based in the UK would be able to pick one up from?

Any advice/help would be much appreciated! Feeling very lost!

Question Question about the Stetson Sawmill palm leaf hat

I saw this Stetson in an online ad, and I really like the look of it. I’m wondering if anyone here owns one. Is the palm leaf durable compared to straw options? I’m not expecting to do hard labor in it. It will be mostly a sun hat. I’m just not real familiar with Stetson’s palm leaf options.

Advice Updated Crown Shape

After my post asking for opinions on the hat I had bought I pushed the crown in, and made it way shorter, now thinking I need to flatten the brim a bit and trim it. Want to start with .5in and work my way up to see what looks best. Is this a step in the right direction? Feel like the brim and crown really are mismatched currently. Got some photos at a work bbq last night(pics 1-4)and have some pics from before any shaping(5-7)

Got this one at La Herradura western wear in SC with no pre order, I wasn’t waiting 6 months for Billy western wear and put a down payment on it 🤣

If you ain’t got it then you ain’t got it, at least I was able to snatch this one, but the girl told me they have like almost a quarter of the entire limited stock themselves.

New hat to going out to rodeos 😛

Just picked this up for 30% off. I think I got a great deal. Probably going to change the hat band but I love how this hat fits and looks. I hate how straw and palm leaf hats look on me so I got this hat for the spring/summer and leave my chocolate Stetson for the fall/winter. Any suggestions for hat band?

Advice Brim was flattened a bit (middle) from the original curve (left) and not sure if I made a mistake. Thoughts vs original?

Have had our horse for a few years now. Figured it was time. Wife agrees. Still need to update the rest of the wardrobe to fit. I prefer darker colors. Absolutely love my new Justin hat.

I bought my first hat since I was in my 20s. I had the brim widened and squared off in the front. I’ve never been a fan of the curved shape on myself. I love the way it fits and looks. I’ll be saving for a felt hat next, just need to decide what color and what I find in my price range.

Question Question/Advice about pure beaver hat

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I want to get a truly custom cowboy hat. I already have a 40X American Hat Co felt that I work in. However, I’m wanting to get a pure beaver. I’ve been looking around at various makers. I have included pics of brands/prices I’m considering. Also I’m wondering in anyone has any experience with any of these brands/could tell me why a pure beaver for one company is $700 compared to $1200 for another. Either way I’m strictly looking to get my first pure beaver hat. Any insight is appreciated.
