I think this may be a case of “recollections may vary”
My dad, grandfathers and uncles all seemed to me to wear a hat the same as they wore shoes. A hat was simply one of the things a gentleman wore when he left his home.
Movie stars and folks posing for photographs were, of course, different.
Just my opinion, and it’s your hat, but I think it would be a mistake to trim it.
The Riverina is a Coober Pedy with a wider brim, so maybe you should have bought a Coober Pedy.
Just as an incedental, and perhaps irrelevant, aside, my dad told me that when men wore paper collars (when he was a kid) his father wore a new one every day.
Evidently not all men did.
I have no clue how much they cost.
