T71563 Twister 5X Shantung Straw Western Cowboy Hat

I really like this hat for the price...I actually had purchased and returned similar hats from Stetson and Reisitol. I didn't like the style as much of the Stetson and the Reisitol was bit tight (71/8 size) and they both were around $80-90 bucks. This hat is less than half the price, is every bit as good a straw hat and fits better; just doesn't have the name. I bought the buckle type leather headband from Amazon (I got the M&F one but Amazon offers numerous styles) in case wanted to upgrade it a bit, but found the band it comes with looks pretty good. Also, given I wanted to have the hat in my truck and anticipate tossing it about somewhat, didn't want throw away an $80+ hat vs 36.....and these straw hats are somewhat fragile, they can't be fixed if get crunched or crushed....they basically crack and crumble.....As such, I highly recommend this hat. One last point on this hat. As pictured, the hat shows grommet type eyelet vents on the crown, but the hat actually doesn't have eyelets; it has perferated design along the sides similar to Resistol hat but doesn't go all the way around, just on the sides where you see the eyelets in the picture......so I like that design upgrade to this hat as well....really good looking hat for the price.

The hat is well made and of a high quality there needs to be more care in the sizeing as hat is 2 sizes small.

This is not the hat I ordered in the picture. They did the old bait and switch on me. The Cowboy hat I ordered had three grommet holes on each side and the hat that they sent me did not. However it fit fine and it arrived quickly so I decided to just keep it since it was a cheap hat and I was only going to use for work. If you are looking for a cowboy hat for going out, I would suggest you go and try the hat on in person so you know exactly what you are buying

Lower quality than expected

One side was a 1” fold and other a 1/2” fold, there also is a crease in the front of the dome and just the worst shaped hat I’ve ever seen.

One of my friends liked my hat and has purchased one for himself. The shipping is listed as taking more time than would be "fast" shipping. This was made clear from the start. I noticed after 5 or so days I received a notice that my order was being prepared for shipping. When I received the hat in it's box I wondered what could have required so much preparation time as it looked like all that was required was put the hat in a box and add a label. I would buy another hat from this merchant

I like it. I like it alot. Works very good so far I wear it for outside work to help keep the sun off my face and neck when doing yard work.

Stiff as a hard hat. Tag says 100 percent paper. Felt like paper mache ! Sent back.
