Stetson Men's Fort Crushable Wool Cowboy Hat with Leather Hatband - Western Style, Outdoor, Rodeo & Ranch Wear for Men

I discovered that Stetson hats are made in Garland, Texas by Hatco, Inc. The company also makes Resistol and Charlie 1 Horse hats. I have a Resistol vintage,80's I was told by the person who gave it to me they thoughtit was 1980's.Very well cared for but with age,the band has sorta fallen apart but even so..it's still a favorite...This Steson is right there ! It's already feeling like it's going to become a favorite & it's only been on my head for about 2 hours.I love this hat..The Cav cord is a bit long with the "acorns" hanging over the brim & I did'nt want to have to have a new one stitched on in it's place so, i just looped them around the cord.The fit is excellent,the weight, the feel. Hopefully,it will hold up to the anticipated amount of wear it's going to receieve.Very happy with it.I owned two Stetsons in the 70's & a Resistol.My old hats were lost in a house fire & I've managed to pick up several that I really like.L-R The Stetson, Charlie One Horse & a Longhorn Hatters specially made for me by my late friend Don Livingston in San Antonio. This new Steson looks great,feels great,is a perfect fit,the best fitting hat, right out of the box, that I have bought since the 70s or 80s.Would definitely reccomend.Should be cool & light enough for the coming warm weather.Should offer excellent sun protection & was a good value for the money you put down for it I think....& money is tight with me but needed something for warmer weather.Again,great hat...I've worn a cowboy hat since I was probably around 5 years old, so a lot of them have graced my weathered gray head..This Stetson Fort is one of the best I believe,& again, I've only had it on a couple of hours & it feels right...I added a couple of pics as an illustration of what you can do if your cord is a mite too long.Hope you enjoy your new (maybe favorite) hat !
