Seriously, if a custom hat is in your budget, there's no reason not to go custom over an off the rack hat.

I have a Christy's, the color is nice, the block shape is nice, but the ribbon work is shoddy and the felt is not very dense, therefore not very durable.

Yeah, a custom hat would be my first choice, but out of reach as far as my budget goes for now...and I've heard some of those very things about Christy's, so I think I'll stay away from it....If I save a little more, maybe I can swing a Garrison since it's decently priced....(Adventure Built and Penman are way out of budget for now...really nice hats though),..but, I'm already having enough trouble trying to justify a $130 off the rack hat to the ol' ball and chain.

Hey Chuck B., how tall was the crown on your Squatter after you bashed it with a center dent?....I believe the Squatter is a 5 1/4 open crown...
