I'm not characteristically a cowboy hat wearer, but a few years back I wanted to add a good Stetson to my garment selection. That Stetson is a 4X Beaver, a fine looking and sturdy hat. I am proud of it. It hasn't converted me into a cowboy hat wearer, buy occasionally I do put it on. As time rolled on the hat became less clean and new. While I welcome a more broken in look, I still wanted a degree of neatness. I looked to find a business that would clean and service a nice cowboy hat or preferably instructions on how to take care of it myself. I found instructions on how to properly brush my hat so I needed a hat brush. it turns out that a good brushing was all my hat needed to look attractive, neat and still have a slightly broken in appearance.
