I bought a beautiful new Stetson fedora that fit perfectly. Suddenly, it seems to have shrunk, it still fits ok, but it feels just tight enough to be a little uncomfortable. Anyone else have this problem?
It's not my first hat but I have really enjoyed VHS. I want to get the Jaxon Crushable Safari Fedora in Grey, they said they were going to get more in in that color but they haven't yet. The Untouchable comes close as far as appearance.
The little white cord that runs around the base of the hatband is a bit of a dealbreaker unless it can be removed without damaging the hat. Can this be done? If they made the little cord grey or black at least I could ignore it, but white...ugh.
I'm possibly interested in the Steel Color:
There are two Jaxon Iconoclasts. One with a 4 inch crown:

Jaxon makes nice hats. I wish they would come out with the Jaxon Crushable...
If I get self conscious about my hat, I think about all the people that have dragons and god knows what else tattooed all over their bodies and they're going to give me crap because I wear a hat?
HA!
It is nice. Yeah there are plenty of hatters here, but I'm not sure any of them have seen a fedora, (I kid of course). Fedoras are nearly impossible to find here. Everyone either wears cowboy hats or ballcaps. If it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't own one. The closest you thing you can find...
Here's the hat:
I got it in grey and I would describe the look of it as almost a "Cattlemen's Fedora" the bash looks almost Western or Texas style in reality and I would like to change it to more of an Indy bash or something.
Thanks to all of you. I'll give it a shot, I want a tighter pinch in the front and I was gonna go for more of a center dent in the crown but I may stay with the c crown. I'll reread the suggestions later. I may also look in the yellow pages under "hatter" also and ask what they would charge...
Is it possible to "re-bash" a hat that I ordered that came "pre-bashed" I got a Miller Hat whose bash I am not crazy about that I am thinking about changing the bash on. If "yes" how does one go about it?
Thanks...

I "modified" it by removing the original hatband and removing a better hatband from another hat I didn't want and buying Goop to
glue the bow to the band and then wrapping the band around the hat. How's that for amateur hour?
