@Oaktavia If it were mine I would remove the carhartt tag and lower the patch about 1/4".

Not sure if the carhartt tag is just stitched on or glued and stitched. If its glued, just leave it because you won't be able to remove that glue. Stick a needle or awl or something small and sharp underneath and try and wiggle it around and see if there is glue holding it on. If not, I'd seam rip it and take it off to reduce visual noise.

@chrisjohnnick thanks man, I will probably do just that whenever I get around to it.

I’m thinking about having an open-crown hat—a "Boss of the Plains" style—made. Any recommendations from my esteemed friends in the USA on where to get a good one? Nothing super fancy costing $2,000, though.

These guys are great. Follow them on IG. Can make anything you want.

@endo see if https://havstadhatco.com/ have something for you. she was really cool on the podcast with alex.

[endo]

Thanks @tody thought of that. But I assume it takes ages and would be out of my price range.

Not mto and a little different in style, but Akubra makes great full brim hats

[endo]

thanks @wjw great hats and reasonable prices, but the one I'm looking for is not among them.

@endo Have you had a look at the Stetson’s…There might be one that fits your needs and you could save a ton of money by buying off the shelve versus made to order. Most of the places that sell them, steam them to get a semi-custom fit and look as well.

@endo hey, Idk how to link other posts but @jordanscollected posted about Recapitate Headwear and it looks like the kind of hat you were looking for

Anyone have recommendations for a denim ball cap with a curved brim? Also, just brands in general you like for ball caps. I have a big head and like hats with a structured high crown. I also love a flexfit. The filson tin cloth mesh logger fits just about perfect. New ear hats I'm between 7 3/4 and 8.

@wjw you could try Ciano Farmer. He’s making denim caps out of cone mills denim and also using hickory stripe, Wabash, and different weights and colors of canvas.

@jordanscollected those hats look sweet. I'm going to reach out to them and see if any of their hats go bigger than 24" for my big noggin. Thanks for the recommendation

I got in touch with Todd—very helpful guy. Ordered this one:

I only just found out that he also made the hat for Kevin Costner in 'Horizon'.
