    I might add I have a ton of western hats so that's why I look for sturdier Fedora's. Western hats will handle anything you throw at them and still stand up.

    I just started wearing Fedora's a few years ago. I have a couple dozen so far about 70% being Stetson Fur Felt which seems to be a good grade of felt. So i'm still learning how to fly.:):)

    I don't want to sound like a salesman for Bickmore Felt Stiffener but it really works good. I will steam and shape a hat, spray it down good and let it dry overnight. When it is dry I will brush it good and the felt will be nice and soft. If it is still not stiff enough for your liking just...

    Little gal at Hatco put this funky ribbon on this Resistol. I wouldn't change it for anything.

    I like everything about that hat. The double hat band, gus crown, and rolled brim. Excellent !!

    Sounds good. I don't expect a dress fedora to be as thick or have as much shellac as a western. Somewhere in between flimsy and western. I know i'm picky but when I grab a hat to put on my head I want it to hold my preferred shape.

    I don't see any stitching on the binding for some reason. Probably a modification.

    I guess from my western only days I got use to a heavier weight hat. All my fedora's after steaming I will use Bickmore to set and make stiffer. I just prefer them to hold shape.

    I like the 6" crown for bashing, ribbon, and binding on his hats. Look good to me.

    From looking at their website the hats look great. Never bought one but wondering what the weight is. I hate thin flimsy hats that won't hold shape.

    What are you listening to?

    Have you heard the new Rodney Crowell/Rosanne Cash/Paul White song? Also Rodney is wearing a new hat made by Buckaroo Hatters.
