I deplore any western conversions, not only Stagecoach's. I do know Stagecoach's have a really nice felt (own 4 and waiting for... 2 or 3 more) so I understand anyone wanting to trim the brim to make a fedora, but...The notable exceptions are conversions of westerns and homburgs, but most of the western conversions (even the stagecoach conversions that Joao deplores) are usually not done to particularly historic or rare hats, and how many homburgs do most of us really want or need? (No offense fellas - I have several myself, but really ;-).
I do believe in preserving not destroying, but I also believe in honoring vintage items through using them..
I'm not really one to buy something and not use it.
I buy vintage for the quality, look and feel...
at any rate
maybe I will find a nice 7 3/8 and try to have someone upsize it without changing anything.
can't wait to have it in my hand (and head).
