Planter Flat Crown Hat - Black

Neato

Perfect, exactly as wanted and described.

Nice thick felt, excellent fit, really looks great with my Tombstone Gunfighter outfit.

It didn’t come and the wedding is May 31st!

Purchased for halloween. I choose the wrong size on the original order. The return for a larger size was flawless and fast. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for quality historic clothing and service e you can count on.

This hat looks great, fits well and looks to be of sound quality!

Ascents the traditional outfit.

the product is great and the delivery was fast.

I went with the large size but found it shaped for too circular of a head shape. I was able to steam it to be more oblong front to back. Your mileage may vary.
Great hat!

I was looking for a Zorro-type hat to wear when I attend performances of my play that features Zorro. Earlier I had bought some costume hats, one size fits all, but I have a big head and they don't fit comfortably. Based on other comments, I chose XL for my head, which measures slightly over 23". The hat fits perfectly! It's also more affordable than the Cordovan hats I found elsewhere.

Five stars

This product is good quality. My problem was sizing. I used the sizing aid and ordered a size too small. Be careful on your sizing.

Large should include that extra quarter inch that was not there! If I had ordered extra large size the hat would have fitted me like a bucket! The size LARGE should include an extra quarter inch for people who are genuine half sizes-- between Large and XL. This is the case with shoes as well. I am a genuine 11 and a half and so it is with hats! Be more inclusive! Damn you! Otherwise I like my hat, even if it gives me a headache!! Now I can be Zorro and play classical guitar like the wind! Thank you! Grrrrr!!!

A great hat! A perfect match for a hat in an 1820s local portrait which is the period portrayed. Makes for a more casual and relaxed look instead of the formal looking top hat.

But the fit is a bit tight. As someone with a mondo Melon for a noodle I expected an xl to fit watermelon sized craniums, it may need to stretch to accommodate my brain girth.

I thought the Hat would be a little more sturdy.... but I am very pleased with the look. With a little Hot Steam... I was able to shape the hat just the way I needed it.

So I've worn Stetson straw and felt cowboy hats almost daily for 15-20 years. This is the first of purchase, of a lid that is not sized by inches and, I did not try on prior. For the price and the fact that I'll shape it to my style/personality, I'm quite pleased. This lid will ware sooner than heavier felts yet, the ware will be a great contributor to the look I seek. I still ware my straw most of the time but, now when stepping out I'll be someone with assured presence. Cause let's face it, somebody's got to have some style. Add my duster and it's hillbilly deluxe. Billing, shipping and overall service was very pleasing.

I didn't want the hat strings on the hat. Decided to go ahead and order the hat since that was the only way it came. I will take the strings off of the hat to wear the hat.

The hat strings are not an optional item. It would possibly help others decide to purchase the hat without strings if you made the hat strings optional with a wait time for delivery (custom order).

In anticipation of playing the role of Fagin in a local community theater production of "Oliver!" I searched and searched for a wide, flat brim hat with a fairly low crown that would complement my costume, but not "break the bank." I finally ordered this one, and although the crown was not quite as low as I had wanted, it still turned out to be an excellent choice. The fit and look both are perfect. And it is very sturdy ... I accidentally sat on it (a black hat on a black chair) and thought that would ruin it -- but the crown went right back into shape when I popped out the crumples! A great hat that I most certainly will wear and enjoy for many more years, along with the other quality period pieces I have previously purchased from Historical Emporium.

Exactly what I was looking for and very well made--all at a great price!

description accurate

Sharp, This is My formal Hat-put a couple knots in chin strap to adjust with slide.

Ok hat it was what I was looking for. I think for the price it should have been finished better and lined.

I really like the hat. I would have liked a lining, but for the money it is a great value. I purchased this hat for my wife to ride in. She doesn't particularly like cowboy hats, and living in South Dakota where winds of 20 mph are considered "breezy", she needed something with a string to latch on. I will probably replace the stampede string with another that is of higher quality, the slide does not hold at all. Shipping was quick, even in December. Very happy with the purchase.

Works really as expected. Every head will be different, so be aware of yours and measure it so be careful.
The hat cord was poorly made, and needs improvement. I removed it entirely and put on my own, an adjustable one so that I could make it tight. This hat will fly off with a sudden gust of wind.
Nonetheless, I'm very happy with it.

I think it would have been nice if it would have been lined. But I still like the hat.

It was pretty much as represented. I like the look, and it's American made. The fitting chart seemed to work well also.

This Planter Hat is just what I was looking for. 1830s style. Good quality. Fast shipment. Thank you!

Yes, this hat is almost $80, but it is worth every penny of that. It looks and feels like a real hat, and it is a pleasure to wear. I have another similar hat that I paid significantly less for, but it has no substance or form, and the brim will take whatever shape it rests upon. I am glad HE does not, generally, cut corners on apparel.

The hat arrived on time and I was delighted with it. It is intended as a Christmas present for my son, but when he tried it on, it was too small. I printed out a return form and will be sending back for a larger size. The hat is just what my 30-something son has always wanted and will be anxious to start wearing.

This will make a nice addition to my collection of Old West clothing.

Very nice hat. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks!
