Stetson Men's Oily Timber Leather Ivy Cap

Decades ago I bought a leather snap-bill hat at a craft fair and loved that hat. Left it at a restaurant and it became someone else's joy. I finally reclaimed that joy with this, my first Stetson hat. Craftsmanship, materials and looks are all what I hoped for. What I wasn't prepared for was how comfortable this hat is. I've got too many baseball hats and they all rely on being tight so they don't blow off. This is very different. With a low profile it stays where I put it. I like the looks of it and me while wearing it. It's still summer in Oregon so I don't really know if it will be warm in the cold, but I reckon it will be. I do know it is not so hot in the summer that I won't wear it. It's comfy.The only issue is the size. It was difficult to guess what size to order so I settled for medium. I've a small head and thought that's where I should order, but guidelines moved me to medium in the belief that if I was wrong I could do what I always do with too-small hats. Put stuff in the sweat band. I found some foam that works just fine and some carpet tape keeps it there. Nothing to do with the hat, the only problem is my choice.Don't be shy about this hat. There are others out there at 1/3 of the price, but this is a Stetson and the feelings of it gracing your brow will last a long, long time.

Looking at the reviews of those with XL head size I was a bit worried but decided to try it. I have an XL head 7 5/8" (61cm) and this cap fits. I would describe the elastic band fit as snug but not tight. If I press I can still insert one finger between my head and the firmer outside circumference of the cap. The cap looks sharp and the materials seem to be high quality. The actual cap lies on the head in a much flatter shape than the rounded top sales image shows.

This is my first leather cap which I ordered in brown and now I want the black one too. The leather is top quality, supple and a well made. Quality is over the top just what you would expect from Stetson. I wear a 7 1/8 and the S/M is true to size. I own many Irish tweed handmade hats but this one is now my favorite hat and it seems to be a bit warmer too. I highly recommend this hat from a fantastic seller.

Kept my noggin warm on a recent trip to Alaska. Very comfortable and got a lot of compliments on the looks. Stetson quality all the way.

This is a good hat, usual Stetson quality. The X/XL is a little snug and it's not clear if it will stretch at all (I wear a 7 3/4-7 5/8, depending on brand). My only real negative is that the color is more of a "chocolate milk" brown rather than the dark brown that appears in the image on my browser. I nearly returned it for that reason, but decided not to. Having worn it a few times now, I am considering rubbing it with Pecard's oil to see if it darkens, but not sure as I don't want to ruin it.

Leather is very thin and stiff. Leather is dry, but product is advertised as oiled. I applied Hank's leather belt dressing which greatly improved the appearance.

This is a beautifully made hat which unfortunately is made in China. They priced it as if it were a high quality made in USA product, complete with the Stetson logo, but it is just another import. Too bad, if they weren't so greedy they could have made it here.

My husband love, love, loves this hat! Bought him this for our third anniversary. He says this is one the best leather hats he has ever had!

The leather does not look the same as in the picture , no sign of oily finish , not as heavily grained as in the picture, but that said an okay hat , just not worth the money with delivery costs, I will keep it not worth the Aggravation sending it back , just won't buy Stetson on line again
