edit: i just searched ebay for "stetson 7 1/4" and got 2700 results. |

Date: September 6th, 2024 4:21 PM Author: sticky stage main people thought about that but i'm a gay "support local business" guy.
is their really no reason not to do this though? like, don't they bend the ears or whatever? |

Date: September 6th, 2024 4:23 PM Author: infuriating theater a good hat store will have a steamer and can shape a hat however you want. it will be "free" for your new $300 hat, or you can pay them $20 to do it on your $100 ebay score.

any advice on brand, material, etc? |

Date: September 6th, 2024 4:49 PM Author: infuriating theater stetson obvs. you said you wanted felt. i prefer straw but felts are damn fine too. i wouldn't go too crazy with the Xs, it's a lot of smoke and mirrors and no one will know or care. i'd rather spend the money on a nice feather.

Date: September 6th, 2024 4:51 PM Author: sticky stage main people i just assumed felt was "best" since they're the most expensive. and yeah i was wondering about the grades, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5589993&forum_id=2...id#48057773) |

Date: September 6th, 2024 4:53 PM Author: infuriating theater it's definitely the gold standard especially for formal settings. i just like straw, it's less maintenance and looks better as it ages.
the grading is all proprietary so who knows what it means. only way to know for sure is going to a boutique maker and dropping a grand. |

Date: September 6th, 2024 4:54 PM Author: sticky stage main people i just thought straw were cheapy throwaways. so higher end straw ones are decent quality? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5589993&forum_id=2...id#48057783) |

every quality hat maker makes straw. most stetsons are white though and i prefer the natural color.

Date: September 6th, 2024 5:07 PM Author: sticky stage main people damn ok.
looks like this place has resistol and stetson topping out around $150. seems like about right for a good straw hat?
anything else i should know? |
|
Date: September 6th, 2024 5:14 PM Author: infuriating theater yeah that's fair. they should advise you on shaping the sweatband but generally it's going to be a little tight at first like a pair of boots. also if it's too lose it will easily blow off in the wind, so depending on where you live you may want it tighter.
then they will try and upsell you on a top band and feathers. gl! |

Date: September 6th, 2024 5:18 PM Author: sticky stage main people i think they look a little gay but i saw one bro wearing one and it looked cool. idk. really trying to stave off the fedora vibes but i kinda need a wide brim hat for practical reasons.

Date: September 6th, 2024 5:21 PM Author: infuriating theater yeah fedoras are stupid. i have an open road and i kind of regret it from a functionality standpoint. it's an indoor hat. you really need a 4" brim to keep the sun off your face.
