    Love this channel and a hat I would never buy, for $ reasons only, so it’s great to see someone test drive this hat.

    Sporting that hat, a southern gentleman may be confused with Rhett Butler. I always liked the "Gambler" style.

      I've thought about giving a tour but wasn't sure that many folks would be interested. The glass cases do have a buttload of bourbon and cool collectibles in them, and the rest of the Man Cave that you don't see on camera has even more of the same. Perhaps I'll post a tour one day. Many thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

    Hello there Nerd. Fellow Alabamian here. I live in Daphne and can relate to the heat & humidity.

    The hat looks good with your suit for sure!. I live in northwest Virginia and folks don’t wear hats that much in the commonwealth compared to where I’m originally from, which is Montana. And so as much as I appreciate this particular Stetson hat, I’m not looking for anything too different because just wearing a garden variety Cattleman cowboy hat is different around here. Which is unfortunate! I’ll keep working on the locals though! Thanks for the excellent review, sir!

      Sounds to me that you need to wear a Stetson Open Road up there in Virginia. It’s actually a western crossover hat that you can wear on Wall Street or on a cattle ranch. I’ve done a couple of videos on the Open Road and its history, so check’em out. Thanks for watching.

    I got two hats from the Village Hat Shop, a nice Panama last year for under $200. Did you order before the 4th? I ordered an Akubra felt hat from David Morgan two years ago just before the 4th of July. Took 8 days to get.
