Looking for recommendations for a custom hat maker.
Tried the maker that was in Buda and now in Lockhart. Despite showing him photos, he makes what he wants to make and those don’t even fit right. Nice guy, but not going back.
Resistols fit great, but they no longer make older style, what I always heard called “pinch point” crown like John Wayne used to wear in The Shootist as an example.
I wear a hat about 99% of the time outdoors, so would like to get one like I want it.
Any recommendations? Willing to drive to get it right.

Biggar Hats located in Decatur, I recently had a hat made and shaped to my head and crowned how I wanted. They aren’t cheap, a 5x starts at $359.

Try out High Brehm in New Braunfels. It's in the back of the Red Wing Store near Common Street and the Loop.

Nate is your guy. Website name still says Colorado but he moved his shop to the square in Georgetown 5-6 years back. He'll build what you want, how you want it, and it'll be amazing. https://www.nathanielsofcolorado.com/

Cody May in Angelo makes a good hat. However, I usually have Steve at Bill's Man Shop crease mine. 100x bever runs around 650 I believe.

I have a lot of hats, and not just baseball caps. A few years ago I was big-time into finding the perfect hat for me, but not an expensive one. I still haven't found it yet, but I did watch a lot of videos on hat-makers. I love the craft! ...!

Kinda crazy but I was in Luckenbach last weekend and that woman had those style of hats buy they were straw and palm both were around $75 in her store I was there Friday. Those hats were pretty heavy. She said that made them more durable. I just didn't know those from the Peoples Republic of Austin and evidently, New Gulf, were so hard on hats. Sticking with my Bangora.
