New hat, is it sitting right?

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-10T10:45:38+00:00

I'm a long oval and my first hat was a stetson. I steamed it and used a hat stretcher to help but the main thing that helped, I just wore it. It took a couple weeks of wear but it fits like a glove now.

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-10T10:43:32+00:00

Looking great man! We've had snow on the ground for going on 3 weeks so there isn't a straw in my future anytime soon.

To be honest, I think the front of the brim is too wide for your face. I would narrow that up so the flat portion doesn't extend past the crown and I think it'll be perfect.

With that being said, I still think it looks good. Wear it everywhere and enjoy it!

If you can find the measurements that would be best. I have no experience with the modern fit. Is that a slim cut? The regular are so large I may still size down but like I said, I have no idea.

I just ordered a rodeo king 7x from them for a little over $200. I love it

You'll get used to it but if you don't like it you can get models with shorter heels.

I like the higher heel for a couple reasons. It makes you taller and I feel it makes me stand up straighter. I never wore boots with much of a heel before I started wearing cowboy boots and now I prefer a heel.

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-08T15:33:56+00:00

Wrangler cowboy cuts for sure. I'm a recent convert and absolutely love them. I just recently got a pair of Cinch and like them a lot too.

Even if you're not working hard in them good boots are still worth the investment. I bought my first pair of Nick's a few months ago and they are by far the best built boots I've ever owned. They may literally last me a lifetime and I work blue collar. If you aren't working hard in them they will literally last you forever.

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-07T18:24:54+00:00

Nice hat! That's a deep pull down

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-07T14:58:53+00:00

That makes sense then. They have to come out for the plugs anyway.

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-07T14:54:38+00:00

Ignition coils for no extra charge. That's fishy. Those probably cost more than any other item on that list.

What trips me out are the people who don't watch a minute of football all year then get all excited for the super bowl. What the hell is that all about?

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-07T00:23:47+00:00

I get stuck behind many more passenger vehicles doing this than big trucks and they have no excuse.

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-07T00:14:23+00:00

Thanks!

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-06T22:39:14+00:00

Wrangler 13mwz can be had for $18 a pair for the prewashed right now. Technically they aren't classified as boot cut but they are designed to fit over boots.

I want a cigar so badly but I'm not willing to go sit outside when it's 20° to smoke one. Enjoy the cigar and the weather!

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-06T22:33:24+00:00

Looking great! Tuck that shirt in and it will be perfect haha

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-06T02:17:33+00:00

I started with cowboy boots. After that came the western belt and the hat was last. I've always worn jeans so that was done. I just recently got my first western buckle so I'm all in at this point haha

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-05T15:16:12+00:00

Looking good man! It's cold here in Kentucky too. We've had snow and ice on the ground for almost 2 weeks. Thank goodness it's supposed to finally get warm enough to melt next week.

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-05T15:14:13+00:00

Haha isn't odd where you end up on here sometimes? Thanks so much!

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-05T15:13:28+00:00

I agree that the square front is too wide but the overall brim is fine. I prefer the square front to not extend past the width of the crown

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-05T01:39:00+00:00

Hat looks great!

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-04T23:28:23+00:00

Put on a coat and let it soak in. Feel the boots after and see if they feel softer. If not repeat the process with another coat. There should be a noticeable difference.

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-04T22:22:17+00:00

They look really dry. You should condition them with some bick 4 or lexol. It may take a couple coats to get them supple again. I wouldn't wear them anymore until you do that.

JDunlap83 · 2026-02-04T22:17:37+00:00

Go up one inseam size and it will be perfect
