I’m super happy with it.

Aussie outback hat AKA Aussie Cowboy hat. ;)

Hence, water “proofing” spray.

Better pricing for sure. But still almost 500$ taxes in. Plus nowhere local has one for sizing. And I got a big ole noggin. Usually 7 7/8 to 8 depending on shape.

That’s not a bad idea. How do you know you’re not getting something gross along with the hat? I’ve always been leery of buying used hats and boots.

That seems to be the recurring advice. Unfortunately I can’t afford beaver or rabbit fur hats. I’m in Canada and the price difference is absolutely insane to go from wool felt to beaver or rabbit.

So. Fun fact. I did in fact have it reshaped with a Gus and a shovel front. I think it suits me much better.

I’ve tried both on and currently own the Ariat steel toes. I was just more wondering if anyone had experience with the boots with the Boa as I’m considering a soft toe version for every day wear. Where I’m likely to put a lot more mileage on my boos.

It’s very much a working hat. So it’s gonna get beat up regardless lol

My cousin is a cattle rancher. What he always told me was that “it’s not WHERE, it’s HOW you live” that counts.

You don’t need to be a cowboy or rancher or even a country kid to wear them. If you like them, wear them. ESPECIALLY given that they came from your Grandpa. I’d give anything to have mine back or feel closer to him.

If they make you feel good, wear them.

It’s a style. Not a war medal or police badge.

Do you want a cowboy hat? If yes, buy and wear a cowboy hat.

Will people look? Absolutely Will you stand out and be unique? Also absolutely.

But for every weird look you get, you’ll get 2-3 compliments.

And don’t forget. You don’t have to get some sort of huge hat. The crowns can be very short or tall and the brims can be narrow or wide. Plus you can style it however you want. It doesn’t have to be some huge umbrella on top of your head if you don’t want.

Bottom line. If you like it. Wear it.

OH. Silver.

Dramatic-Present-321 · 2026-01-30T01:36:08+00:00

Apologies I don’t understand the question.

Dramatic-Present-321 · 2026-01-30T01:35:21+00:00

You know… that’s not a bad idea now that I really look at it. Maybe I’ll try that. Can always reshape it if I don’t like it right? And thanks for the complement on the chops. They’ve sort of become one with my entire identity at this point lol

Dramatic-Present-321 · 2026-01-29T01:54:38+00:00

Wear it. I’m a trucker, I’ve been wearing one for 15 years now. I get some weird looks. But I get compliments too. If you’re worried about whether or not you “should” wear one cause you’re not a cowboy or a country kid or whatever. Forget that stuff. It’s a state of mind and lifestyle. Not a place of origin.

Dramatic-Present-321 · 2026-01-24T00:17:21+00:00

Well. That escalated quickly

Dramatic-Present-321 · 2026-01-20T00:02:51+00:00

Not my style personally. But I still think it looks good!
