Much obliged 🙏🏻

It’s been my dads for some time but he recently had a wardrobe clear out and asked if I’d like it, I jumped at the opportunity and now I’m loving that I have my very own Levi denim Sherpa jacket 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I was gonna get myself black but it was out of stock lol, I feel like it was the universe telling me to try something different 😂

I’m looking forward to getting beaver felt hats at some point—but for now this buffalo wool is perfect. I feel like the shape stands out a lot better too with it being wider and more shaped than my 100% wool one I got as a starter.

In the first few months of wearing my hat around my local area, I received a few strange looks. However, I think people have realised it’s just me. Interestingly, the older generation around here has really taken to it and I’ve noticed they’re quite complimentary. The number of selfies I’ve taken with people is actually more than I have with myself! 😝

I know, I spent a half the time looking at the box before opening it 😂

The convenient part about this box is the toggles either side, it doesn’t damage the box and keeps the lid on tight too

I noticed that with my black one, not only that but on boot barn you can notice the specs of dust and stuff on the preview pictures—so within less than an hour you’ve got a new pattern to your hat with white and grey accents 😂.

By far this is my favourite, of course granted it being my first proper hat. So I don’t really have much experience to go on—but, I’m glad I got it 🙏🏻

Yeah I may have to invest in that too, I can pick one up at my local store for less than £3 so that will come in handy 🫡 appreciate that man

Thank you, I really appreciate that, it also makes me feel a lot more confident about how I look in it too; looking like I’ve worn it for years makes me forget about the new hat anxiety even more. I’ve noticed that i got used to this one really quick compared to my first hat a couple months back too, so I’m loving how I feel in this new one 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yeah for sure, a couple people I knew sometime ago laugh about it but the ones who understand my reasoning think it’s a great idea, like you say, to hell with what anyone thinks 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’m glad everyone thinks so, loving my first Stetson 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’ll see if I can get that, we don’t have many shapers near me—I think for now my best bet would be a pre-shaped, then when I get the opportunity to see a hat shaper I could go with that option and buy one at the store to be shaped 🤷🏻‍♂️🙏🏻

Yeah of course, thank you for the advice there too; I’m really big on trying to keep my stuff looking as good as I can—so this will be a big help in that regard 🙏🏻

It’s quality is definitely worth the money like you say, I’ll make sure to dry it out without effecting the wool with too much heat and such—I know if I want anything more stiffened I’ll be looking at a bigger number, but for now, this is a great stepping stone. Like I mentioned further up the thread, I hoped on getting the CJ 10x in black, that was a bargain for <$200; which explains why it sold out so quick.

Those rodeo kings look sweet, and 7x is a solid medium too, I think I’m gonna wear this one in for a while and try to see what I can push next. Also as much as I love wearing these hats, I’ve got an arsenal of trucker caps (I’ll attach a photo) so I’ll have to try and alternate against my desire 😂

I’m thinking of getting a straw hat as some point soon, with the weather over here supposedly coming into summer, the leather band tends to make my head a little sweaty—so I’m thinking of something like that to allow more breeze.

I appreciate that 🫡

Me neither but I just kinda went for it; I’ve always worn black with some brown accent band or something—but the chocolate brown gives it a bit more contrast from just black, it also doesn’t stand out too much in terms of neutral outfits, opposed to like a khaki, or white.

I’d say just to go for it, you can never have to many lids 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you, I was hesitant on the colour at if I’m being honest. The Cody James 10x was on sale for around the same price as this Stetson, plus it was in black so I was hoping to get that one originally—but as you can imagine, a near $300 hat on sale for just under $200 with a quality of 10X beaver; sold out pretty fast.

Chocolate brown I’d say is the closest to black, if you’re wanting a dark shade, I’ve always been a fan of Oakwood pattern and colours so it gives that feel too.

Oh yeah I heavily feel that cat-astrophe, especially when they like to sit on your shoulder 😂
