Review Akubras! They are Australian, make all kinds of hats, and their felt hats are both superior to & cheaper than modern Stetsons because they are basically waterproof and can be in the rain unlike other Stetsons of that price range (around $200). Get the Akubra Adventurer for Indiana Jones’ same style.

that $105 Chinese hat, it's too coarse and unelegant for city wear, looks like something a farmer would wear, you want to go for that slave plantation owner look. Borsalino's a different story, Anthony Hopkins wears it in the movie

I believe I paid around $550 about 8 years ago for my Optimo straw hat. Yes, it is better than the $13 Costco hat made of 60% paper. The detail of the Optimo hat is amazing. The craftsmanship is noteworthy. While the Costco hat is functional and has its place, the Optimo hat is a work of art. My Optimo hat was a birthday present from my wife. Quite costly but I feel good about supporting Graham Thompson, the owner of Optimo Hats. He is a highly skilled artisan and craftsman.

At time stamp 1:24 John says straw fedoras are "out" while he himself is wearing a straw fedora. Did he mean straw fedoras are out for Nick or in general? Does he consider the hat he himself is wearing to be a fedora style or more of a trilby? I have a straw fedora that I like to wear very much in the summer. The hat John is wearing looks good on him so what is "out" about straw fedoras? Just wondering.

I can’t see a band on the hat you’re wearing, I’d go with a more defined band. I learned that shautang is made of paper. I have a Stetson shautang that I thought was fiber woven in Ecuador of straw and blocked in Mexico. Are all the strains made of paper?

@@Stridewise Honestly I’m kind of bummed out. I really thought I’d bought a straw hat made in Ecuador and blocked in Mexico. That said, it’s a decent hat that looks good and is comfortable. It’s not backwoven, and as it wears the pasted edge is coming loose. Although it’s a serviceable hat I wouldn’t buy it again or recommend it. If you do a follow up please show what a backwoven hat should feel like and should cost. Thanks for the info, even though it’s not what I hoped for its great info.

The guy on the right at 1:30 with that particular type of hat is able to pull it off. No I wouldn't mistake him for a mafia don but at least it's believable as a casual summer outfit. The hat must fit you and it must be worn with nonchalance otherwise it makes you look like a dork who's about to attend a costume party.

It’s floppy hat Son. No man wants to wear floppy hat!!!!!!
