Me neither. This from VHS website:

Introducing the Palisade Wool LiteFelt Western Hat by Bailey. The hat band alone will make this hat stand out from the rest. The leather is inverted at various points along its length to create a unique braid pattern while the smooth sections feature metal studs. Bailey's exclusive LiteFelt® finish make the Palisade soft, packable/crushable and water repellent for added functionality.

What is the difference between a "flared brim" & an under/overwelt brim? Thanks.
From what I can tell, the ends of the brim start to flare up some which is a tad different than an outback style brim but not a pencil curl. Underwelt & Overwelt are the ends of the brim rolled under or over & sewn to give double thickness & structure to the brim. Sometimes, wire it sewn in there to help hold shapes. JMHO
