And an awesome choice!Thanks guys, i think I'm going to order my first custom hat!
What are the problems you are having with your hats? If you let us know we can pass it along to Stetson.

I wonder, is there any chance we get a Boss Raw edge? I don't think I'll ever find a vintage one in my size.
Or one of these?

I'm afraid i agree.I think the owners of the Stetson brand have lost the recipe. I would guess Buckaroo could do it for you.
I agree, I think Borsalino's felt, although a little too floppy in general is a better mix of thickness, stiffness and moldability. Borso's ribbon work is also better. The cheap unreeded sweatbands they put in some of their hats is where they are lacking. The Film hats I have are reeded and made them worth the price when I bought them from Bencraft.I've bought new hats from Borsalino, Beaver Brand, and Biltmore, and Stetson. Aside from the sweatband, the Borsalino has been the best quality, and the Beaver Brand (now out of business) a close second. I want to like the Stetson, and the hats are wearable, but I''m probably not going to buy any more. The Borsalino is worth the extra money.
