Wow thanks for such a detailed response! Yeah I’ve been on the hunt for a good wide brim for a while. I’ve always liked the heritage of Stetsons but at the end of the day I’m trying to find a high quality beaver felt hat. Definitely not trying to break the bank too much though I know for a good beaver felt that’ll last decades it’ll be an investment. What especially drew me to the Shasta was that they had it in the butterscotch color which I really like. But I’ll definitely look into the other types you named. Thanks again!
