Ask a question, get an answer
Generally speaking there's an "adjustment period" when wearing hats when everything you wear feels like a giant 10 gallon hat. Luckily for your boyfriend, smaller proportions and more tapered crowns are the lion's share of modern, production fedoras. The best advice is to go visit a hat shop... -
Vintage versus modern ´quality´
The problem is that the kinds of empirical evidence you're asking for simply aren't within the means of most of us here. I can tell you that the felt on my vintage Stetson is more dense than a modern hat, but how do I prove this to your satisfaction? It's not something that photographs... -

:eusa_clap Thank you everyone! The new Stetsons are really sharp, and some patterns never go out of style! -
What makes a hat expensive?
There's not going to be a nice, convenient answer. With Borsalino, especially the modern ones, part of the expensive cost is riding on the reputation of the brand name. One might also consider: the quality of leather in the sweatband, overall beaver content, wild vs domesticated fur... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Another great day of hats, gents. Ive found my new favorite 'posing' spot, on top of one of the sheds at work. Arm's length selfie distortion be damned! Profile shot of my Premiere Stratoliner, which has very quickly become a favorite. -
The Stratoliner Association {Premiere}
My black Strat (which apparently has a goofed "Royal" [not "Royal Deluxe"]) sweat, went out in the rain the other day and suffered no ill effects. -

Need Help ID'ing hat on musician Rami Jaffee
Yeah, its very likely not a current production hat. Don't look for pictures of Stetson's current Open Road. But it's definitely in that style. I think Mr. Dean is onto something with the loose teardrop crease. -

Ask a question, get an answer
Also, that's not the original Stetson 100 box, the 100's came in a hat trunk. The box actually looks a few decades older than the hat based on the size tag and liner. Here's mine, supposedly 1963 according to the guy I bought it from on ebay: I paid less than $100 for mine, size 7. -
So whats so horrible about the new Stetsons anyway?
Indeed, I have no complaints about the durability of my Akubra, my Fed IV is an excellent rain hat, and it has taken many a drenching with no ill effect. But the yes, the finish is rougher in comparison. -
