I was by there back in the spring and they were closed for a week or more, vacation I suppose. About all I could see was cowboy hats from outside the window. I'll check again the next time I'm in Waco.

Six years between posts makes me think they don’t make all that many hats of the type popular here.

That was my impression from the front door, but I always wonder about those places as most I have visited had little interest in dress weight felts. Your samples give me hope!

As creased when I received it - about 5 3/4”, 6” open crown. Brim is 3 1/8”.
I didn’t like the tall crown on my head, so I took it down to 4 1/2”.

The felt is firm and dense, but this was a dry crease.

Excellent catch and recovery. I regularly think about getting a custom from SHW to support the local shop, but at almost twice the price of the top line makers we all know (Gannon, Northwest, et al), I just can't make the commitment.

Thank you kindly! I was on the rebound from losing a black OR that went sky-high, and I was amazed that this one had no competition. It is a high quality hat and I am enjoying it. It is a bit tight but as I wear it I can feel it forming to my head and loosening up.
