Stetson SSSQRE-7940 Square Eyelets Reg Oval Hat

UPDATE**. BUY THIS HAT AT THE SIZE YOU MEASURE. You can always use fillers/sizing assistance to make the hat fit a little tighter. I’m ordering one at the size 7 1/8, as I should have. Measure it a couple times to make sure that YOU get the size right. I LOVE THIS HAT AND AM ORDERING IT AGAIN!!!! I just hope it’s as nice as the first one. 🥰 I measured my head several times, and was size 7 &1/8. Other reviews said the hat was sized so that I should get a size smaller. I ordered a size 7. It came and it was very tight feeling. With previous hats, though, the brim would expand on my head after I wore it for a while. So I’ve been wearing it every day, everywhere for about three weeks. Sure enough, my hat is now comfortable and fits well. Meanwhile, since I wore it everywhere, I received lots of compliments; at least one from a person at each location that I wore it to. Someone even saw me in the car in a parking lot and yelled, ‘Hey, I like your hat!’ Since I got skin cancer on my nose, I initially purchased the hat to keep the sun off of my nose. It works great, and even my doctor complimented me on how great it looks, and how effective it is at keeping the sun off of my face. The brim is perfect for that! I was also a little concerned that the material would be frayed or would fray easily. I’m allergic to wool and most hats are made from wool, but this palm hat is sturdy and made well. So far, no problem at all! And yes, I have bumped my hat when I get into the car (I lowered the seat after that!), but still no fraying or any other damage to the hat at all.

It’s natural color, but it looks like little whiter and It is breathable and fresh. I wanted to clarify for other buyers that this is not a natural Mexican palm leaf hat, even if it looks like one in the photos. This is a Shantung Straw hat, which is a high-quality treated paper fiber. Because of the material and the lacquer finish, it feels very stiff and "papery" to the touch. It’s extremely lightweight and holds its shape perfectly, but if you are looking for the heavy, organic feel of a traditional woven palm hat from Mexico, this isn't it. Sizing: It runs large. I ordered a 7 3/8 and have about a finger's width of extra space. I’m using some foam tape behind the leather sweatband to get a snug fit. Overall, it’s a great, genuine Stetson, but make sure you know the difference in materials before buying!

I’m no cowboy or an aficionado of cowboy hats, but I think this is a great looking Stetson. Great value for great quality.

Great hat just massive in shape. Size is true. It has 30upf and feels cooler than expected. Planning on using it for a Grand Canyon backpacking trip and it seems perfect. It’s also very light but sturdy not floppy at all.

The sizing isn’t right . It’s bigger than it says. But it’s a great hat . I’m happy with it .

My wife got me this as a gift. I hate baseball caps and have trouble finding other hats that fit my fat head. She read that the hats ran a little big, and gave it a shot. My head is more like an 8 than their largest size, but it fits great. I get lots of complements. I did give it two coats of scotch guard, since it is not waterproof. I still avoid wearing the hat if there is going to be significant rain. I was surprised by the stiffness of the hat, but I now know that is how most cowboy hats retain their shape. I have had a cheap felt hat, which I abused by wearing in all weather while working outdoors. This is not that style of hat. It is more for walking around than for work. The holes help it keep cool, but it is still hotter than a baseball cap. I have worn it while out in the sun for hours and it prevented sun burn even in the Florida sun.

Fit perfectly. This is the first hat I’ve ever owned because my large head doesn’t agree with most hats. Feels nice quality and it has a firm shape. Definitely going to be wearing this hat more than I should. 5 stars from me.

The hat was delivered in perfect condition. The shape was a bit stiff around the crown, but if you move the sweatband out of the way and use a steamer to soften the crown a bit…place the hatband right back and while the hat is warm, place the hat back on your head and boom! Shapes perfectly to your head. I did listen to others. The size is not true to size. I wear a 7 1/4 (58 cm) and purchased the 7 1/8 (57cm) and it fit very well! There are some small little blemishes that seem to be from the production process, but nothing that can’t be remedied. I just either burned off the little strands and staw pieces on the inside. The outside I used a very sharp razor to just scrape off the small blemishes. Overall, I love it!

Der Hut kam einwandfrei aus den USA an. Sehr schön, passt und trägt sich bequem. Bin völlig zufrieden und kann den Hut empfehlen.

excellent quality but wrong size sent

Magnífico sombrero, aunque vienen un poco holgados en las tallas

I shave my head so a broad rim hat is important in Australia. The hat itself appears to be 3D printed, which is fine by me. Fits great, works great, and gives a distinquished appearance when I am out and about.

Great Quality, but limited sizes on Amazon India. I needed size 7 1/4, but only size 7 5/8 was available.
