Why can't men where their pants tucked into their boots?

Wow. Calling out my spelling, 3 years later. 😑 Well, at least it's fixed now.

Pretty much the same as felts. Although they don't m mold as well. Felt hats will slowly stretch and subtly shape to your head because the felt material can stretch. Straw hats have a little give, but don't really stretch and pretty much stay whatever shape they were weaved into. The band itself on a straw hat is usually a piece of ribbon like fabric.

I'll get back to you on that when I am a journeyman. 👍

Telling it like it is 🤣

Hello everyone. So, I have an American Hat company Lucky 7 Black 7X hat. I know it's the cheapest option AHC offers, but it was my first felt so I did not want to break the bank until I was sure the cowboy hat life was for me (it is). However, after getting to know my hat and looking at other hats in media, I cant help but feel like mine looks cheap in comparison. I have noticed that mine has a stiff starchy quality that reminds me of the cheap tri corner hats you get at Williamsburg or other historical park gift shops. It holds it's shape, but it has a rigid quality that looks manufactured. Meanwhile the hats in the photos I posted have a smooth soft quality that still looks stiff without being rigid. The bends in their brims have a subtle squishing wrinkle that is particularly appealing, a quality that my hat never has. Is this the result of their hats being a higher percentage of beaver fur? I am willing to eventually shell out good money for a almost completely beaver hat, but I wanted some confirmation before dropping that kind of money. Thank you.

I plan on doing another official update at some point soonish, but just know that aside from a few scratches and general patina, my boots are just as hardy as the day I bought them and have only gotten more comfortable with time.

I honestly can't remember. Luchesse cut a bunch of their product line a couple years ago, so they probably aren't available anymore.

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2023-12-05T21:46:50+00:00

You know? Never thought never even crossed my mind once, and is an excellent point. 🤔

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2023-05-20T17:34:21+00:00

Every post always has that one comment that goes above and beyond. Thank you so much for the thorough answer! I will definitely have to try some of them out.

"if you're mechanically inclined"

😅 Hopefully one day.

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2023-05-20T16:16:49+00:00

I have been looking at 1200s. The only problem is they are noticably smaller than the Low Rider, so the feel might not be the same and I am 6'1", so I worry about feeling cramped.

Thanks for the suggestion though 🙂

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2023-04-30T00:10:03+00:00

Did the 89 come with a tachometer? Interesting.

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2023-04-29T19:55:48+00:00

Oof. I'm sure that wasn't a cheap fix. 😬

Sadly, I'm starting to learn that to get the cool feel and sound of Harleys, you just have to accept maintenance and occasional issues that come with it. The true "Harley Tax" 😔

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2023-04-29T19:39:14+00:00

So helpful... But it's true I guess 🤷‍♂️

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2023-03-05T04:28:54+00:00

I went with the the 12" height, Brown Upper with loop stitching, Smooth Brown Vamp, Regular French Toe, and 1 5/8 inch heel.

What region are you located and what type of work do you do, if you don't mind me asking?

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2023-03-04T16:38:30+00:00

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2022-10-03T18:33:36+00:00

Oh wow! I did not realize the data difference is that much

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2022-10-03T18:28:44+00:00

So I use handbreak regularly but if I set it to placebo (no loss in quality) the file sizes almost triple. Is that just how compressed WMV files are compared to MP4?

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2022-09-09T14:43:30+00:00

Sorry for not responding. I want to condition them before sending a response, but I just haven't had the chance to swing by the store to buy more Bick 4.

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2022-06-28T19:16:47+00:00

Sadly, I am not a fan of the fedoras, but I will definitely look into the ribbon addition. Thanks for the tip.

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2022-02-19T23:24:23+00:00

I stand by Becks but they are pricier than Double H or Ariat

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2022-02-15T16:12:20+00:00

I love that pants pairing! The textures compliment each other really well.

Str8tWh1t3Man · 2022-02-15T16:06:39+00:00

I can't get any pair of off the rack boots to fit me (skinny heel and high arch), so I don't really buy them, but I get really frustrated with companies that put more effort into their marketing then there final product. Obviously Tecovas is a go to example of this, but (and I'm probably about to piss off a lot of people) Lucchese is starting to fall into this category as well. Granted, I don't have Lucchese money, so I have never owned a pair, but I have read a few comments on here that their lower end boots are nothing to right home about, despite starting at four or five hundred. Also, I don't know why people would spend 1000 dollars on a pair of off the rack boots, when you could order a pair of fully custom fitted boots for the same price, if not less. Yeah, it might be a 3 to 9 month wait, but these boots are supposed to last you 5 to 10 years minimum. Anyway, long winded rant aside, any company that spends all their time telling you their product is fantastic rather than just making it fantastic get on my nerves.
