I no longer have my straw, but still wear my western hats. The crease that Bud had on his looked like the bull riders crease from back then, is that the crease that's on yours?
Though they aren't fur, there are some wool hats that are very nice. I have a Stetson Hammer crushable western hat that not only wears great, but looks great too, and I would recommend those hats to anyone.
There are a lot of great American hatters that specialize in Cowboy hats, but give Mike at Buckaroo a call, besides great hats and prices, the great customer service is known world wide.
I wear ball caps as often as I do my fedora and cowboys hats. I find them comfortable and they do the job intended whether it's work or play. I believe they look good on me and help to round out casual attire, whether backing my favorite teams or just working and doing chores.
My wife found a Resistol Quicksilver for $15, I plan on taking it to Major Mike's and having Rocky shape it to a Vaquero style, much like the Van Cleef hat. Those hats are fine and you can get one reasonably on the bay, send it to Mike to shape, put a new ribbon on it, and you will have a first...
Find a used felt cowboy hat and have it reblocked and shaped, cost about $40 to $50 for the reshape & block, find a good stetson or resistol on the bay for a great price.
Stetson Wool Crusher
I have a Stetson wool crusher and it is an XL, but a bit tight. I am wondering if it can be stretched and if the leather hat band is what may be keeping it tight. I love the hat.
Anyone familiar with Panador hats? I'm looking at their Precedente Safari.
