>>176904>Is it just me buying cheap staw hats or is it a common issue?It's you buying cheap straw hats. Go get a Stetson, it won't do that. My father-in-law is a Stetson-wearing old fart and his summer hat is several years old.
Innawoods, I wear a pic related (minus the feather) unless I'm going to be in/around water, in which case I wear a North Farce hat. The Dorfman Pacific is worth the money and I've had it for years.
