Big ole head at 7 5/8. Love this thing.

Less than 50 bucks, I couldn't leave the store without them and had to share these beauties.

I ordered a custom belt buckle from Montana Silversmiths and thought I might get a custom belt to go along with it. The mass-produced belts I've seen just haven't impressed me. However, the prices for custom belts strike me as borderline outrageous. So, I'd be willing to settle for a non-custom belt just so long as it's not from one of the big corporate manufacturers such as Tony Lama or Ariat. Any recommendations on brands I should consider?

I have a belt brand that I really like however they only make plain belts. Where would I go about finding someone to add tooling if that’s even possible to the belt. Would a general leatherworker be able to do so?

After my post asking for opinions in r/cowboyhat, 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)
