I have used straw hats in the summer for years. I recently had a Palm cowboy had shaped and fitted to me at Double H in Darby Montana. I find Palm to be much more durable and cooling.than straw. You can dunk it in water to cool you down with evaporation without losing shape. It just keeps getting better and better. I’m forever here forward sold on Palm cowboy hats.
They quit making straw hats decades ago, it became way too expensive. For a long time cowboy hats have been made from "shantung" which is a high quality paper that is more durable that straw. I do have a Resistol hat from the 1950s or 60s that is a Panama straw hat (which are hand weaved in Ecuador) and it is different and nice.
@@drwisdom1 interesting factoid… they feel like paper now that I know that. In addition to my Double H Palm, I have an Akubra Range Hemp that I wear to town and for bourbon hour on the veranda. That hat has worn well for a long time.
I've had problems with sunburning eyes and so I do like a more or less flat brim to try to cover them better. In the 1970s, I wore a flat brimmed black hat with a mild telescope crown and a red, white, and blue hat band. Some people even though it was like Billy Jack's hat in the tv show even though his had an open crown and a blue and white hat band. As a result, I got called Billy Jack a lot. I really liked this hat and am tempted to get another similar to it. I have looked at some of the pre-made gambler hats, but they are so cheap and flimsy that I don't like them so the next time I'm in the city where there is both a Cavender's and a Boot Barn and I'm tempted to have one shaped for me at one of the two stores. I think I still have that hat from the 70's somewhere, but I'm not sure where -- if I can find it, I may take it with me. One thing, though, about having one shaped since I've never had one shaped before. Is the shaping part of the hat or is that extra? Do you tip the hat shaper? If so, how much is normal?
I collect vintage Stetson hats. Back in the 1960s styles changed such that when you see a 1960s hat you say it doesn't look as good but it has that 1960ish look. Similarly, today's trend is to have a very flat and wide front of the brim which then turns up aggressively with a sharp bend. In the old days hats were never creased that way and I don't find that style appealing. I prefer that the brim forms a smooth tasteful curve rather than have straight and sharp edges. I suspect that in ten years hats will return to traditional non-aggressive creasing and we will look back at the current style as early 2000s.
I am back after watching BIG AL😊, my heart was bounding the whole time seeing those beautiful cowboy hats😍😍😍😍😍 ooooh my gosh😂. By luck and by chance I got a hat {5x} made in Columbia, from a colleague of mine who's aunt lives in AMERICA sent me a hat which was too tight to wear😂 so I had to remove the leather inside the hat and steam it with my rice cooker 😂 and shape myself after watching TH-cam, and when I asked my colleague for another hat he said there was no chance since he didn't want to trouble his aunt!!!!! Please watch my channel you will see me wearing that troublesome hat😂. Love watching this video 💖💖💖
I like the look of a cattleman's crease but I find that in most hats the center crease hits the top of my head and prevents it from sitting correctly on my head. What adjustment or different crease choice can I make to help me have the look I liike?
Hi Kev! I have an olive colored crushable but, on the inside it is brown colored. Is that due to fading, sun-damage or we’re there hats that were made that way?
i saw a hat in siverton colo. had this huge high crown on the front like a mountain with big brim tryin to find what it ws called the cowboys riding in the show were wearing around the stagecoach..and cowboys in colo who driving transporting livestock?
Because I have such a small head {{ compact intelligence }} I had a hard time finding a good hat in my size. {Beaver} I have had that hat for decades, you get what you pay for! Question: I would like to know if it can be stretched out just a bit. It gets just a might tight when the weather gets warm. Just a touch but I would like it loosened up a bit?
I’m driving back from Oklahoma and I got a hat for a gift and I’d like to shape it back to what it was. What part of Bakersfield??? I’m going back to Fresno
You can call me and I can tell you what we have and colors and take some pictures and send them to you and then you pick one we can do everything over the phone if you want
Lmaoooo. A youtube comment trying to tell a professional how to do their job. Maybe YOU don't steam a crown from the inside. Maybe it doesn't matter on a straw hat without the silk lining. But I assure you, she's forgotten more about shaping hats than you've ever known.
@@evergreenrider I shape hats professionally and you can steam the hats from the inside of the brim or crown but if the sweatband is leather there’s a big chance that it can crack
@@josesalinas7957 then don’t get that shape?? You can do any shape you want bubba. Just because she didn’t in the video doesn’t mean you have to get it. She can shape into whatever crease you want
Hey Rhonda I need to get in touch with you but wish with you but I don't do Instagram or Facebook or anything like that so I would love to talk to you. I don't know how is there any way that I can contact you?
My daughter bought the first hat yesterday right after you shot the video. It's now a famous hat. Thanks Rhonda for the great service.
I learned my favorite style is a girls hat lol
Cowboy Bigfoot is it called the UN crown?
How much did she pay?
Thanks you for acknowledging Bakersfield is still a western town.
It is but it's losing its history.
@@btuff sadly, I miss our podunk days
Hows the crime rate.. might be up there in january for a job
@@randomchannel4886 its a shithole these days....
Glen Orms taught me how to shape a hat about 40 years ago.
I still find very interesting.

The style of Hoss's hat, fit him perfectly. Dan Blocker... What a treasure.
This is so cool! I’ve never watched someone shape a hat before!
She's an amazing craftsman!!!
I once had a straw that was going strong for almost 8 months but a 400 pond Bramen calf put that to an end real quick
My record is almost 2 years for a straw worn daily in hot humid Florida. I now wear palm. You can soak em.
Gifted hands...those hat shapes are amazing.
this chick is great, I'm going to ride up to Bakersfield tomorrow and get me a hat
Am from south Africa and I love cowboy hats and bull riding
Can you go over what hat shapes work with different face shapes?

Cool hand Luke is very popular here in Texas I work at bootbarn shaping hats
I was actually wondering if Boot Barn shaped hats.
In Texas we call the girls brim a snow plow. It’s more for drugstore Cowboys and girls.
That hat reminds me of one back in the eighties

Beautiful, do you ever donate to the ones you don't use.. I like to promote new products in Toronto.

Still waiting on the Hispanic shape

Wow girl’’

Thank you!
I only go to Ronda and I don't even live in the same state.
How much for the straw hat
Americans are usually $130-$170 for the straws

How to order
Please give us a call 661-325-8476 and ask for Ronda
fire hazard blocking the fire exit
It's not a brick top, it's an R.C.A. crown
This is in bako
11:00 absolutely hate that snow shovel shape. I know it is all custom, but that is just ugly.
I say if you ain’t going cowboy style for the brim then why wear one
To shield your head from the sun?
Good video, but the audio from her was very poor and in some instances unintelligible.
The Hispanics? Mexican people invented this shaping
Good stuff, but learn some manners, bud. Let her finish her response, lol. Interrupting is disrespectful, especially toward a woman.
You never steam a crown from the inside .

Bro I build hats for a living. I know how the tolerances for these leathers are.
we are not hispanics we are mixed natives sir
I can’t take my hats to shape with tha lady I don’t like the way she did
huh?
she shapes them however you want bro...
@@ethanaltovilla374 I don’t think so, I see how she did in the video and I don’t like the shape looks ugly
