I don't find the Justin 4X Big Rig to be either feminine or a "trucker hat". I'm not even sure what "Trucker hat" even supposed to mean, really.
I find it to be a well made, comfortable cowboy hat that is perfect for daily wear and even dress occasions. I have a big head, and finding a hat to fit me well can be difficult. The Justin 4X Big Rig in 7 5/8 fits nearly perfectly. When people ask me about it, I always make sure to tell them that it's a Sheplers exclusive.
Pros: Durable, Value, Quality Construction, Comfortable, Great Fit, Attractive Design, Quality Material

Will rain hurt this hat?

I recently made this hat my first. Traveled over an hour to get to the store in Mesa, AZ and forgot to ask the very important question...if I happen to get caught in the rain will it turn out to be bad news for this hat?
Straw hats (from any manufacturer) are made from natural fiber and don't do well in the rain. They can lose shape and outright collapse. If you must wear your straw hat in the rain, consider a hat raincover:

\r\n Save on a durable, versatile Justin cowboy hat! \r\n Chocolate brown 2X wool felt cowboy hat \r\n Brown leatherette hat band with multicolor braided leatherette overlay \r\n Finished with a Justin hat tack \r\n Classic cattleman hat styling \r\n \r\n \r\n Outfit head to toe in cowboy-approved gear from Justin. The Justin Plains 2X cowboy hat features a traditional 4 7/8" cattleman crease crown and 4" brim. Leatherette sweatband. Satin crown lining. \r\n \r\n   \r\n Cowboy hat crown height and brim width may vary slightly. \r\n
 

what does the 2x mean in the description of the hat does it refer to size or the fit of the hat

The "X's" in describing a felt hat refer to the amount of beaver fur used in its construction. The more beaver fur, the more X's. A higher quality hat will contain more beaver fur and have a higher "X count". 4X is higher quality that 2X, etc.

In straw hats, the same is true except the X's refer to the tightness of the weave and narrowness the straw reed used to make the hat. A higher X means a tighter weave and narrower reed is used.

Sizing

I wear 7 5/8 in felt. Is that XL or L in straw?
7 5/8 in felt is about a 24 inch circumference head, which corresponds to an XL straw hat size.
