A professional hatter uses steam to custom shape the crown and brim of a white straw cowboy hat to the style desired by its buyer at a Western-wear store in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. High-quality straw hats are made with dense straw and hold their shape better than less-costly ones that use soft straw. Those lower-quality cowboy hats often won't shape well, or they easily lose their shape.
