Since @Hurricane Jack complimented this photo when I first joined I felt it right to repost it in this more appropriate thread. Stetson 5X in front, mid 80s Resistol 7x in back.
Thanks for the info, I'll check out the suppliers mentioned. I like the looks of those and I like a wide brimmed hat. I don't have any Akubra hats and definitely would like to add one to the collection
That's a great looking hat, I can't seem to find an US. dealer that carries the sombrero. Did you have to order directly from Aus? Sorry if this is one of those questions that gets asked allot.

I should have thought of that, this hat was actually smaller tham my normal size. I stretched it using my head when I reshaped it, however it was badly misshapen when I received it. I really wanted this hat to work for me because I like how the felt feels.
Actually I'm a 7-1/8~ 7-1/4 depending upon the brand. This one I *REALLY* wanted, so I basically reblocked it using my head lol. I had saturated it with cold water to shape it, I pulled it down on my head where I wanted it and wore it about 4 hours! Now its definitely a custom fit. The previous...
Previous owner cut the sweat in a couple places, I don't know why.
Resistol 7x, this is my rescue hat as it was squashed nearly flat when it was given to me.

Thanks, so far I've felt really welcome here, I like looking at all the different styles! I'll be a regular here I'm sure. I'm a fairly active member on a knife collector forum so I enjoy engaging with others that have hobbies like mine. As I already spend more than I should on traditional...
