: It is the same felt, without the stiffener that Joe is so fond of. Patterson's PB fedora didn't look any thicker then my Miller. The stiffener is the culprit. PeterBros makes a lot of western hats. I assume that stiff is popular with cowboys. I will post a review when it arrives.

They immerse the hat in stiffener before making any of the cuts or putting ribbon, bands, and liner on. They're all based on rabbit fur, which I personally prefer - based on my novice knowledge of durability, shrinkage, and especially PRICE.

On mine? I've begun to mold the brim, kinda working in my hands. It will relax over time, though I like the stiffness.

IMHO - Cheers!
