@@josephlearnstheworld Yep! Times be a changin'. And that's ok. I do it because I want to be respectful and show reverence. And I do tend to think it's disrespectful when people do wear a hat inside church, but I do tell myself it's more likely ignorance than malice. God never told us that we were supposed to take our hats off inside church. That's a man made rule. God would rather you have a relationship with him than taking your hat off inside of a man made structure. It is funny the things that stick with you over the course of your life.

@@ifassnacht sure, I don't expect it's malice. But I think it's a mark of maturity to be aware of things, and taking the hat off just shows that you're more aware of yourself and those around you. It's not necessarily respectful or disrespectful, but it shows people that you're someone who is paying attention, and that is definitely needed more than ever in today's world.

I'd recommend finding him via his Instagram or the Instagram of his hat shop. Since he is such a skilled hat shaper he tours around to different rodeos and stock shows for exhibitions and you may need to get in touch with him to know exactly where he'll be. The main shop is located in Ft. Worth, I think. You can find both his instagram and the shop in the description of this video. I hope you can work with him, he puts every bit of thought possible into each hat.

Raul is good at what he does, and he made your hat ten times better than even his own. When it comes to cowboy hats, nothing says "hipster" more than that popular yet goofy-looking rodeo bend in his brim that's only functional for those swinging a lasso by their head.

I got the lowest quality material and it was $175, I tipped him on top of it. The hat is fantastic and technically the service is free, but obviously you gotta tip for that. If you're looking for a better material you can get a hat from $350-$1000+ but for a first hat I love mine. Had it just over a year and it's time to get him to shape it again. The second shaping should only take 5-10 min since it's just getting it back to how he did it originally.
