StetsonSanta Fe Wool Outdoor Hat

Good size and fit based on my normal hat size. Just spent a week hiking with this and it was comfortable and breathed well. Straps are very stiff leather, but did the job of keeping me from losing the hat during high winds on two days. Kept my head dry during a snow storm too. Would buy this again.

Was worried a bit from some of the negative reviews, but couldn’t help but try bc of the sale price. Turned out to be a really good lookin hat. Only negative was the hat could’ve used a bit more protection instead of the box - then again it is a crushable :p

Hat is very good looking and is as pictured. The stampede string is useful because I intend to use the hat while fishing, and when a gust comes up, it's easy for a hat to fly off. I've had to chase them before. If I were using it for casual wear, I might do without the string or get a different hat. The string does tuck in if you need it to. As a crushable, it's not as crisp looking as my standard cowboy hat, but then I wouldn't expect it to be. I haven't traveled with it yet so I'd need to report later about how it travels. The hat ran a little large, but the seller provided foam spacers and they worked as intended. Happy with the purchase.

This is my first brimmed hat and being from Philadephia AND recently getting into horseback riding at 35, I wanted something with class, with quality, and most importantly something practical that will withstand the NorthEast wild weather. I settled on this 100% wool cap that had the right amount of flex and stiffness. I tried a few other stetson (tried via amazon) and they were either too tight as small sizes (which is what I measured my head to be) or didn't have the right brim. This one is absolutely perfect! I wore it in the horse field on Saturday with some light rain and it held up great. I did recently dye my hair reddish so I noticed the sweatband in the front picked it up so I quickly used a tide to go pen and blotted it out. The Sante fe print in front did smear a bit with the tide pen, but the hair dye did luckily come out. I'll be more careful with it as I LOVE this hat and hope to keep it for use for MANY more years to come!

FYI My exact hat size is 7.5" and "Medium" was a tad too small for me. Your choices are S, M, L I went with "M" because I didn't want it to blow off, but there is a chin strap and maybe I chose the wrong size. This may be the reason this particular hat is priced below comparable Stetson hats -- but I'm guessing there.Came well packaged.A minor nit is that the black felt does attract cat hair and lint. A piece of scotch tape fixes it, but it's a minor negative for the black. Stetson offers a couple other colors.

Excellent quality, exactly as described, arrived safely in a box! Fit is accurate - measure your head and it will fit.

This is the third one I've owned. Good protection from the sun. I get a lot comments from people liking this hat.

Don't bother with this hat, the quality reminds me more of what you would find in a costume store, definitely not the quality I have come to expect from Stetson. Also, the person who packed the hat for shipping literally took the term "crushable hat" to the limits. The hat was permanently creased and ruined. Returned.
