Stacy AdamsMen's Crushable Wool Felt Snap Brim Fedora Hat

I was looking for a Navy blue or kaki colored fedora which would complament one or two of my suits. I ended up browsing for a couple of hours on Amazon and a couple of other sites, then decided to try out the Stacy Adams brand. I love fedoras and many of their variations, however higher quality hats tend to be quite expensive. I have also found that a higher price does not always mean a higher quality from certain companies (SCALA). This hat was a gamble, the pictures looked nice and the price was very alluring and I must say my gamble paid off. The hat is of above average quality for its price range.What I mean by this, is the fedora was only $53 after tax and it is the second best looking fedora I now own. The first being a custom made from a specialty store. I picked the Navy blue and although it looks a bit darker than the picture portrays, I was under the assumtion it would be very dark. The material is wool felt, nothing fancy but resliant and comfy. The hat retains its shape very well, though I admit I have only had it for a couple weeks. It survived its first sit on, the first day I had it. As advertised, I simply popped it back into shape and it looked like nothing had happened (other than a bit of readjusting with the feather and ribbon). The ribbon is considerably larger than I expected, this is a good thing. Most company's skimp out on the details with the ribbon and feather, Stacy Adams however, did not. The ribbon and feather are of both good quality and can be adjusted to whatever style you would like. Due to the above average amount of ribbon given, it can be folded tucked or pulled out in any manner you choose. Inside was also refreshingly well crafted. Many of my other 'cheap' fedora's have little or no effort put into the inside. On the inside there is a cushion which braces your head and a two tone stlyish interrior exists.A couple of reviews mention the Stacy Adams gold colored metal pin. Some review make it out to be brazen, large and gaudie. This was a touch worrysome for me, however I can happily state that the rumors are not actually true. Perhaps they simply did not like the style, but the pin just past 2 cms or 3/4 of an inch wide and only 1.5 cm or just past half an inch tall (at its furthest points) dimond shaped pin. Quite small and even then it is not an ugly logo so I hope I can reassure anyone who was distraught over that little detail.In summary, Stacy Adams has produced a well made fedora for an excellent price. It is not a high quality fedora, however considering its material, capablities; crushable and price, I think it would be highly unlikely to find a better deal. I intend to buy another of this same style in a diffrent color (most likely the white, grey or Kaki) and encourage anyone else who is looking for a decent fedora without breaking their wallet to search no more and pick one up.

El producto es de buena calidad, deben tener más cuidado al empaquetarlo para que llegue en buen estado , lo empaquetaron en una bolsa de nailon , debía serEn una caja de cartón.

I bout three fedoras to compare. This was the heights quality feel of the three. Fabrics are very nice and hat shape was good. I used the sizing guide and was between sizes, so I rounded up, which was a mistake. I got a large and expect the medium would have been fine. Also, if you prefer the classic fedora with the low front brim and think you can just flip this one down, buy something else. The brim is very firm. Overall, if you like the up brim look, this is a good choice.

I gave this hat to my brothet for his birthday. He love it.

Found the same hat at the mall for about 40% more. I received a Navy one by mistake. So I needed to reorder it in Black. The black one came in. It was perfect.

I like the color and the fit. Yeah it's a bold but who buys a red hat not thinking it's going to be bold. Style wise I wear this with dress clothes, jeans and sometimes khaki's. I'll be buying another soon.

Love it!!!!

I worked as a professional hatter for a long time. I can repair, clean and create entirely new brims, crowns and shapes for felt hats. Even with basic wool felt. I've purchased Stacy Adams products before, such as their shoes, and although not the best, they are generally a good company. They make a decent wool hat (I love their homburg hat).However, this item was a different story. It arrived in a box that was OBVIOUSLY too small, and therefore had crushed the hat beyond repair. It was ridiculous. Upon forcing the crown upward and back into shape, I saw that the silk trim was misshapen and one end had slipped out of its tack, so it flopped around loose. Again, disappointing.The wool itself was reasonably thick and dense, and would certainly keep your head warm and dry, but was so floppy that it didn't retain any shape at all. There is a BIG difference between "crushable" (meaning it retains shape) and totally without any shape at all.I attempted to re-shape the hat using steam and professional hatter's starch, but the creases it suffered during shipping were so deep into the felt that this was impossible. It will be returned and I'll file a claim with Amazon.Please note that while my experience was pretty bad, Stacy Adams USUALLY makes good stuff. Just be careful.
