I'll say this, although there may be a small gap in prices between the 2 products there is one thing that isn't considered in the overall production of a hat. Prep time of felt.

Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.
I'd like to say this, $325.00 for a new beaver build is still a bargin. At that old price of 250, the man isn't making enough to cover the nut. So I applaud his increase. He deserves it. I'm just curious if folks understand what the actual cost is for a beaver 100, shipped from Tennessee to his...- Cane Rod Maker

Like Moon said, you always sneak up on a strech, and like he said let it sit hours. But do know it can take several days too. And if you can get your fingers up behind your hat jack, feel the tension on your leather, as you reach a tight feel, stop. Let it sit. Day 2 try it on. If still tight...- Cane Rod Maker

I responded at another post. Have you considered that you might just be a long oval, not regular oval. That would account for gaps at the sides and the need for the foam shims.

Have you considered, are you a Long Oval? That would possibly account for the gap, at the sides of your head, so perhaps a trip into a hat store looking and trying on rack hats, will help you identify with this.- Cane Rod Maker

Indeed yes, it was defective, without going too deep on things. One can always source a beat western body, and do this same thing. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk- Cane Rod Maker

Because I know it's in here somewhere, as guys stumble, sourcing a hat block for their own needs. A question and an answer. Knowing how to make something work, appropriately and thinking outside the box is critical thinking. Q: How do you make a hat block work for a build you don't have the...- Cane Rod Maker
