So I’m looking for my first Summer straw hat and I’ve about narrowed it down to a Stetson Retro straw vs Stetson Forty Eight vs Ultrafino Bogart. I prefer higher crowns and less taper but can’t afford a custom or high-end Monticristi so looking at these. I’ve heard that synthetic straw is hotter-wearing than natural straw? Otherwise I’d consider a Akubra Capricorn. Is the Forty Eight worth twice the price of the Retro? Is the Bogart just a rebranded cheap Capas hat?
Any input appreciated. Thanks,
Jed
