Sorry if my rambling on that thread caused confusion, what I was just trying to say was I love my VS fedora and I don't understand why western weight hats are so much more expensive and why would anyone want to pay $900 plus for a western hat when they can get a great VS for alot less cash. I knew Art could make pretty much any hat needed and wasn't shopping for western hat makers. I know several excellent local ones here, just can't justify that type of money. Is the price difference between a western weight blank and dress weight blank really that different?I can’t recall seeing a VS western, but lots of the fedora hatters are also capable of making you a western. They can be made with softer hat bodies, but most of the bodies made big enough for westerns have a lot of “shellac” so proceed with caution if you want a softer western. This is the VS thread so I’m not mentioning other hatters but if you look around here you’ll find them. You might also ask Art if he’d make you one or if he can recommend another shop.
