Good quality. Fast shipping. Ecxellent! I would def buy again.

I love it, it's very well made, and very comfortable to wear.

I love this hat!!!! I was worried about buying a hat online, but it arrived very safely packed in a box of sufficient size so it was in perfect condition. I didn't even have to so much as fold, bend, or shape it anywhere. Hat perfection right out of the box. My head is 22' around and I bought the medium Perfect size for me and very comfortable. It comes with a feather in the band that can be removed or swapped out if desired. I just want the plain black hat so I removed mine, but saved if for later just in case. The hat is made very well and looks great on. Even though I ordered other items at the same time, they shipped the hat in its own box which I appreciate because I have ordered items from other websites before and they have thrown everything in together and something inevitably gets ruined. Not the case with Historical Emporium. They put quality and care into everything. Even packing and shipping. Thank you!!

The quality and the look of this hat are perfect. My son loves his hat!

Absolutely stunning hat, and it fits to perfection, and it will be used when I go cowboy action shooting, as part of my Lee Van Cleef look

The hat I ordered fits perfectly and is exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

I have had hats before but this one my wife is very pleased with which is a plus. It is what the website shows. I have a 23 1/4 size head which is for almost all hats between large and extra large. I bought extra large and added a short sizer to each side and it's perfect. I agree with my wife - best hat so far.

very nice hat ,like the fit and the look,classic cowboy .

Great Service! Highly recommend!

The hat was exactly as described and pictured. Sizing was spot on with the help of the sizing chart. I bought a care kit and a leather hat band to spruce it up a little bit and it's perfect. Now I wear it every day, especially when I head out to the barn.

One little item and my Victorian undertaker's suit becomes an old west gambler. Fits like a glove and feels, ad looks great.

Hat feels nice and looks nice. Good fit and appears to be of good construction and quality.

This hat is of top quality. I tried it on and it fits comfortably on my head. I like the little feather on the side tucked into the hatband. Nice touch, The hat looks really sharp.

I ordered based on sizing instructions and they were spot on. Thanks for you service and support.

Thank you all very much as before it was a pleasure to deal with your company and very easy the hat showed up in perfect condition and is amazing fit and finish fast service and I am in Canada still fast you guys rock thank you so much I will be ordering some more stuff soon thank you

I was searching for a new "billy jack" hat without spending $500, I took a chance on this hat and Wow !! Well made, brim at least comparable to a 10x stetson. Very stiff. I couldn't be happier!!!

As an actor portraying a sheriff well before 1900, i needed this sort of hat and ... within a week! The hat arrived well before the scheduled delivery date, safely inside a sturdy box. I received compliments on my 'period correct' hat - so you deserve my compliments! Thank you!

I should have paid more attention to the review from Rich from San Antonio (7/2/16). The hat is very stiff does feel flimsy. The xl I purchased was slightly too large but since I didn't care for the hat, I decided to return rather than exchange. That's where the problem comes in. Because the hat can not be stacked, it requires special handling from shippers. That was explained to me at UPS who wanted $57 to ship back. After that, I called Historical Emporium for help. Their only suggestion was to try the Post Office. I did and they wanted $47. So I guess I'll just hold on to it or see if I can donate it to a theater company.

It is not the first time I buy from Montana the most interesting clothing if not frontier gear. I miss my Remington too, but I have found the hat I always been looking for, this one! I can't give 5 stars for a simple reason. I am not used to do it I have just managed to wear it half hour in a two weeks delivery timeline! Not enough but it fits perfectly well on my head. Better if I had `Geronimo's face but I don't and yet, having had it made extra water repellent, I am super pleased with it. Now I need to find a rattle snake skull and I will be happy with it all. Where do I live?~ In Cornwall, UK! if anybody could see how many idiots are having holiday around with thick leather hats looks like they have just missed an audition for a part in a western film. I spotted this hat in a very old movie with John Wayne. I was fourteen. Now 72 finally found it. Stunning one believe me...better with a mokassin's skull on the forehead by the way

This was purchased as a gift, He absolutely loved it!! This has been his go to hat since Christmas!! Thank you! Was true to size, fit perfectly and was great quality

I got a Montana open crown ordered and sent This IS Wyatt Earp The wide brim tall crown the simple but effective way this old west "lawman" hat was made harkens back to a tough no nonsense time If your a reenactor Looking for reproduction head gear...THIS Historical Emporium is the store to mount up with Good prices good product Hats seem to be researched and match old west photos ! Hat is easy to keep brushed and clean. Hat feels comfortable It's wool Hats in the old times WERE made of wool I'm happy camper with staff and product They care! Staff gets your order gets your hat to you in good shipment box, well marked! So I give Historical Emporium big thumbs up. Steam punk alert! stovepipe hats available at this site!

This is a well made hat. It looks great. I seen hats similar style and 3 times the price. I highly recommend this hat

This house was just what I needed. Shipped really fast

Great value for a good looking western hat that can be shaped to desire

Looked a long time, in real trading posts and western wear catalogs and shops, and this is the best "Injun Joe" hat. Very sturdy, beautiful surface, perfect fit.

I purchased an extra large, and I could barely force it onto my head and it sat there painfully. They definitely need to expand the range of available sizes. Other than that the hat seemed to be of decent quality.

I have a lot of hats in my collection. I do western reenactment/gunfighter shows. I like having different hats for different characters. When I saw this hat on your website, I thought I'd finally found a style like the one that Tommy Lee Jones wore in "Lonesome Dove". I've wanted one for some time. The hat I received looked exactly like the one advertised on the website.... I guess I just assumed it would be a sturdy hat. The quality of this hat is the type that you might find at a Halloween costume shop... perfect for one night of wearing.... but not something that will hold up through weekly shows.

This hat is very much like the one worn by "Billy Jack" in the movie from some time ago and this is exactly what I was after. Good material, stiff and well made. Hats like this sell for twice the amount I paid with Historical Emporium. Would highly recommend this item!!!

Very nice hat but Capt. Woodrow Call would've preferred it a bit thicker material. Will look great when I add my sorrel and black braided horse hair stampede string cuz first thing I did was throw away that "lil chin strap" as they call it and "season" it for 2 weeks hanging in barn. Nuff said! Woodrow this ones for you :))

I love my new hat! Came in the day it said it would. Amazing American Made quality!. And it is big enough to fit my dome!

wedding, it even fit my melon

Looked great with my buckskin coat and 44-40 Henry rifle.

Had several compliments. This wool hat is crushable but retains it's shape, so it's easy to pack to travel, also has a high sunscreen protection. Has a colorful small feather on band not shown.

Looks great, perfect fit, high quality and highly recommended. I get a lot of compliments Since living in the gold country in Northern California.

well made quailty

Like the service, liked the quick delivery , liked the price and the quality, will be a customer thank you Jeffrey

Great hat but the grey is considerably darker than the advertisement. Otherwise, great hat.

Very nice hat BUT sizes not enterly accurate. Small-medium-large medium is supposed to be 7-7 1/8 which would be my size, but both wife and son said, “It looks a little big on you”. Other than that, no complaints. Feather on side a little out of character for the style of hat. I removed it and the hat band and added a customized band from Chisholm’s Trail Leather.

Perfect. This hat is exactly what I was looking for. Great in sun and rain and looks good. Love it.

Really nice quality and love the color gray...I ordered wrong size the first time and received excellent treatment..they put the right size on hold for me and shipped it as soon as they received the hat I ordered in error...Great company with great service and hats...

I bought this hat to to wear occasionally while not at work, but so far it's been the only hat I've worn. I have received many compliments on it and it's easy to forget I'm wearing it. Keeps the sun off and the light weight makes it very comfortable. I would definitely buy again

This Slouch Hat is very well made. I ordered an extra large and had to had a little extra band to the inside for a good fit. I really like this hat, especially the wide brim.

Historically accurate, great quality, good price, looks great, lots of compliments, forms quickly, easily and nicely into everything a Slouch Hat should be. I have no doubt that I'll be wearing it for years to come, and it's only going to get better with age. Very happy with the hat itself and the entire customer service experience.

Beautifully crafted, very authentic, perfect all around.

Looks great with my Western Steampunk outfit. Always great products from here.

Love the quality and looks of this hat

This has to be the most comfortable hat I've ever had! Light wool felt that seems to breath a bit better than others I've had. Not too tight or loose or any feeling of heaviness or other. It looks good with my face shape and all too. Really seems to suite me well for the price. Workmanship is good too. I changed the band to one of western diamondback rattler like JB Books and it looks even better yet! I'll be back...

It gives the old style I like, fits and feels great! I will have all 3 colors soon!

I was skeptical about how this hat would look and fit. When I got it,I have worn it every day so far. It’s the best fitting hat I own. I have just ordered the black one now.

I got my dad this for his cowboy action shooting matches. He loves it!

Best fitting cowboy hat I've ever had. It is soft and fits my head well (not like those starched cowboy hats that feel like bricks on your head). I'm hoping you get a white or tan one some day.

Great condition, great quality, heavy fabric. i love my new slouch hat and wear it everywhere.

Purchased it for my husband who had one years ago. He likes it but was hoping it had a wider brim.

First, a note of caution on sizing: I wear a size 7 3/8, and the large was too big. But the medium fits perfectly. Customer service promptly sent me a replacement size. The hat is stylish, certainly for casual wear, but can also accessorize a nice top coat or jacket. The wide brim, not only serves to protect against the sun, but keeps the rain off, lessening the need for an umbrella. This will be especially useful for hiking. I haven't tried to fold it for packing, but that would really make it versatile.

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.

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 was very surprised to find this hat! I saw one years ago at a store in Boone NC and tried it on, and fell in love! At the time I could not afford to buy it. I had been lookig in that same store for years and never saw it again. I had checked other stores that specialized in hats and various other stores with no luck. I started looking on line, but I did not know what to call the hat, so my search was hit or miss, but eventually I found you. I hoped it would be just like the hat I saw so many years ago. To my delight it was exactly like it in appearance, but greatly improved in quality and only cost a tiny bit more than the original one I found. It got here quickly and I am very impressed! Thank you!

Love this hat and the way it fit

I was delighted to find that this hat has an inner elastic band that is adjustable and allows the hat to be custom fitted to the head. Both stylish and comfy, I expect it to stay on even in a wind with this feature.

This hat looks great and I can't wait to try it out. Fits perfectly

it fits well and I like it very much

I received the Laredo hat I ordered. Great quality and fits perfectly! Very quick shipping. Great service!

Hat fits perfectly, arrives packaged carefully. It is beautiful on and I've gotten many compliments on it. I also bought it in the camel color and it is equally beautiful. I am glad Historical Emporium has different sizes and a size chart - be sure to measure your head!

I was looking for an old school / cowboy hat style that I could throw in the back of my car or where I was going and not worry about it this is perfect! The fit is very accurate.

Not that satisfied !!!!!!'

Bought this product for my wife. Because she wanted her first cowboy hat, I thought it would be fitting for her to wear this one as she does gamble every once in a while. Fits her just perfectly, she loves it and she can’t get over how how it feels. Quality of this a product is superior, for the price it is definitely worth it.

Great Hat...wrong color. I ordered "camel"...got "brown"

I was looking for an everyday hat, brown or tan, with a narrower brim. This hat fits the bill. Nice quality and looks nice. The color goes well with what I normally wear. The service from Historical Emporium was exceptional. I will return to their website! Thank you.

Dear Sir, The soft gambler hat fit perfect and the pecan color is outstanding... thank you very much.

Because of our problems trying to reorder It is hard for us to be positive at all!

This hat is beautiful and extremely comfortable. I can't walk 30 paces without someone giving me a compliment about how it looks. There are no regrets for this purchase. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes Gamble-style hats. I only wish this hat came in more colors than Pecan and Black.

This is a great hat, well made and very comfortable! I have always had trouble finding something in my size that I liked but this fills the bill!!

Perfect fit and beautiful color, which looks awesome with the Sable Frock Coat.

The hat is great, if it was lined I would add another star. I am happy with it and will wear it next SASS shoot.

Recently received the Soft Gambler Hat - Pecan, great color and fit perfectly, it was shipped promptly and arrived in perfect condition. So comfortable to wear, great job again!!

I purchased this hat as a gift, and it was something I was happy to give. It's very well made, and the felt is a beautiful warm brown. There's also a small feather accent that is a lovely little touch. The recipient has worn the hat for a few weeks now, and he absolutely loves it.

I have purchased the black gamblers hat and am very pleased with it so I wanted the hat in pecan and am not as pleased. My black hat fits just the way I like while the pecan is different. It just does not have the fit that I like.

I was looking for a new hat for the upcoming cowboy action shooting season and some travel matches, and I really liked the way this hat looked online. The price was very good, so I thought I would take a chance and order. This hat is the MOST comfortable cowboy hat I have ever worn. Soft and light on the head, and pops right back into shape if it gets crushed. The fit was perfect. I will definitely buy more of your hats. Once travel shooting season starts in May, I will be stylin'!

LOVE YOUR HATS

Nice looking western hat. Bought big size and adjust it down with the internal adjustment. Big size allows scarves and hoods in winter. Bought for naturalist role at Colorado State Park, but like the hat so much will probably use it as my main hiking hat.

Used for hunting to keep the sun out my eyes very nicely made.

Perfect fit.I love this hat.

Bought this for my son for Christmas. He has always wanted a "Huck Finn" hat. I used the sizing guide and I think it is going to fit him perfect. This is a really nice hat. Can't wait to see him open it at Christmas!

Exactly as I thought and wanted

Perfect.Exactly what I wanted and expected to go wih my husband's outfit!

good quality; perfect fit
