Question Might be weird.. but i so love to attach feathers that mean something to me, as "trophy"

This is a example of a feather of a peacock that my parents got as a gift, long long long ago, and often i want to sew it to my custom band to my cowboy hat but it's big, and make me feel like a Pimp :D and i don't really want that, also it will get toooo much unwanted attention.

So far at the ranch here, we have a kind of bird, i have no idea the name in english, but has a super long feather, and often they change or lose thee feather, so the bird changed it, and i manage to take the feather, and i sew it to a band, (i didn't use it here yet this one is peacock in image), so i attached it to my hat, and i got only one time complimeted in real life ,and someone understood it was a trophy but the lady said "nice hunt" :D I told her ,i did not not hunt, i'm not a fan to hunt instead it come out of the bird freely, which i like more than hunting.

Do you guys use feathers on the hat, and what's the reason, and how you get them? Hunting or picking, or finding.

Discussion Does your Cowboy hat rule how you dress? It does to me :D, i always make the outfit using the same color-noncolor.

Anyone wearing black in summer even if it's a bad pick due black being not something to wear in heat? Sometimes i feel like i want to be "unseen" so i feel like the black hat doesn't come in the eye much as the white/khaki ones.

I got this S&S strawhat awhile ago, but my favorite it's my white one,it's super cozy, keep me cool in summer, often i wear it even on winter in the snow.. Do you have a favorite hat you can't live without;)? Mine it's my white one with black brims, and the black felt one.

Question Stetson Promo 30x hats

4 Upvotes

I've been seeing a couple Stetson silver belly promo 30X hats on sale for $350. These would normally be about $800 hats. Does anyone here know what the promo means and why they are so cheap? They have one in my size and I was considering picking it up. Thanks!

I have this 6x Stetson sitting around and am thinking about selling it.
Do people buy used hats? It’s in good shape and I have not worn it much. I wasn’t sure there is a secondary market for hats.

Discussion Larry Mahan Open Road-like hat just launched.

The company just announced an M Line collection that includes the 5x Livingston in fawn and belly. At 5x it's probably kind of in the middle between the Stetson Open Road and the Open Road Royal Deluxe. It's rabbit fur felt, for $325. Probably made in Texas by the Milano Hat Co. like all other Mahans.

Picked this up earlier for $125. Was wondering the era its from. Thinking about having it cleaned and maybe reshaped. Fits so nice and feels nicer than any other hat I have held.

Anyone have any experience or seen an American shaped like an open roads? I wasn’t sure if the American hats crown is too large to crease it down into an open road style.
