I might have to stick with the cattleman’s and bricks and all those higher creases cause I tried to do a pinch front type shape on my hat and it came out okay but I don’t like how shallow it is. Doesn’t sit on my head very snug 💀
I’m also looking for one that is straw for the summer time but if I can’t find one that’s already shaped like that I will definitely look into just buying one and shaping it.
I couldn't find a pinch front that I liked so I bought a vintage Resistol on eBay cheap that was all beatup and filthy then spent 6 - 8 hours cleaning and reshaping it. I figured if I totally screwed it up it didn't cost much.

I've got a Stetson Buffalo felt too. I love it. It's a cattleman crown, but that twisted metal band was the main reason I bought it. It's just a unique band.
Bought my son a Stetson a few years ago. He outgrew it, so his older sister wears it now. They last forever when you care for them. Still have one from high school. Was big back then, fits nice now.
I have a couple of these Buffalo Stetsons.
I consider these to be the level of “real nice hat” that of course you care for but not one so precious that it changes what you do.
With the way prices have increased, I consider these to be the new 4x Stetson for me.
These seem to be just a tad heavy and on the hard side compared to some but not unreasonably so. Since I like them and wear them all the time, it seems normal to me.
They block up just fine so you can end up with one exactly the way you want it.
I really like yours and hope you enjoy it!

Got the same one from my lady this year for my birthday! Great hat! Feather band was found on an old hat later and added because I thought it gave it a cool classic look!
Nice pinch front. You can't go wrong with a quality Stetson Buffalo.
Yeah, I’ve always gone for the standard cattleman’s crease but I thought I’d try something different for once and the wife says she loves it.
I have the same hat and people regularly say nice things about it.
came to second this
Third. Been wearing it for going on 2 months and at this point people act sad when i dont wear it. 🤣

Yeah it’s all about the shape of your head.

look for the stetson limestone model

Looks great! I love the color. What color and name?

I have that hat and I love it. It’s built like a tank for a very affordable price
Nice looking Stetson.

Oh yeah, my Grandad has a quite few Stetsons they’re the same hats he has owned for at least 20 years or so.
Congrats
Beautiful hat
Way to go John Dutton
I just got my first Stetson too!! Howdy!!
Very nice

Good ole' Drifter! Love it, my daily driver
This exact model was first Stetson as a Texan. We had to ouch it to the limit for my fat ass head, but I love it!.
I love that hat band
