This is a nice hat—with the tall crown and unique bull rider shape, it’s definitely for those who want to make a statement. I was going for a Ryan Bingham style hat, circa his 2019 album, American Love Song. I’m giving my review 5 stars to help make up for the previous 1-star review. Seems like that customer had unrealistic expectations and doesn’t know basic hat shaping technique (tutorials are easily found on you tube). Out of the box, the brim was a tad warped and the hat didn’t fit comfortably. However, with a little steam and some know-how, the hat now fits like a glove and is a sleek addition to my collection. I figure for the price, one ought to not mind having to make a few adjustments. I flattened the brim using steam and some heavy books, and pinned a red-tailed hawk feather to the hat band. Against the ivory color (which FYI is very close to silverbelly), it looks fantastic. I also trimmed the brim down using a brim trimmer, since it was more like a 4” brim (rather than 3.5” as stated in the description). I was a little disappointed when I saw on the tag that the hat was made in the PRC, but overall it’s a great hat.
