Great cool/cold weather casual hat

"I own a well-fitting Akubra Traveler in a 59cm size. I had to exchange this hat for a 58cm size and still a wee bit larger than my Akubra. I definitely like the hat however and hope it "shrinks to fit" somewhat with a little wear and sweat.

OK hat...

"Not as pictured. No stitching on the band like the photograph shows. No interior lining. This is a simple felt hat. Barely worth the low price. But it will be nice to wear at the beerfests and blues shows...." Read Full Review »

Great hat

★★★★★

5.0

"It rains a lot here in the Pacific Northwest, and this hat keeps my head dry. I tend to dress practically rather than stylishly, so I was surprised to receive complements about the hat. My only regret is that they aren't available in brown. "

"I was so disappointed that this maxed out at 60cm - a size 7 1/2 hat. I wear a size 7 5/8, and it was infuriating that it was so close - but a hat that is too small just won't do. So I was happy to see that a lot of reviews said it was larger than listed. I took a gamble on a a 7 1/2 (60 cm) and it …" Read Full Review »
