    Nick looked hands down the most dapper in the Borsalino imo . It and the Optimo John was wearing were my personal favorites of the hats shown. I like hats with a tilted down brim in front.

    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.

    • @allen31951
      @allen31951 3 года назад +2

      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.

    You should definitely look into the Hemp Special Edition Stratoliner from Stetson! It’s slightly more expensive than the basic Milan straw Strat but it’s all natural fiber and very nice wearing, very much worth every cent and a nice retro touch.

    • @Stridewise
      @Stridewise  Год назад +1

      That's a really good idea! I prefer how the Two Roads Wynwood is a really flat brim over the slightly tilted up cowboy style brim of the Stratoliner, but I dig the idea of a hemp hat. Uh oh, here I go over to Stetson.com

    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.

    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

      @davidhartline9172 3 года назад

      @@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.
