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.

Nice product. No concerns.

Hat is great. Customer service and delivery was great as well. Nice place to get great service and products

This is one fine hat that I have gotten positive compliments on from the first day I wore it. Excellent workmanship and materials. I will buy from you again and recommend you to others.

I bought this hat for my son as a gift for Christmas at his request. It is a well-made hat and looks very nice on! He is pleased with it, and so am I . Price was reasonable, especially for the quality. I'd buy it again. Ordered really close to Christmas so I was nervous that it might not make it but no worries, got it with 4 days to spare!! Thanks, HistoricalEmporium!

Got what I was expecting.

Love it I've wore it every day since it arrived which was pretty quick

Very high quality. Was exactly what I was looking for.

I've sent it back for a full refund, Not up to the quality I expected. No heavy wire in the brim. To light weight, No beef. I will not be ordering from you folks, It cost far too much to return it.

The hat is exactly what I wanted for my warrior/priest outfit...I'm ready for my close up....haha

My husband loves the hat. It fit him perfectly. Makes his outfit look sharp. We also got it 4 days ahead of our delivery date. Awesome. Thank you

love it.

best hat i have bought

high quality , fits well , can't ask for more than that..

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.

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.

I bought this, a black canvas duster, black canvas waistcoat and a sheriff badge for a look I was going for, aside from the badge I wore the outfit to the cinema to see the phantom of the opera and I got a few compliments and not only that I've never felt more like myself wearing these clothes!

Exactly as I thought and wanted

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

good quality; perfect fit

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

Good fit great looking

Love it. Would buy it again

Did not expect the quality of hat. Will be purchasing others produalbertcts

Hat fits perfectly. Thumbprint on the felt but cleaned up easily.

Been using the hat for a little more than a week! Perfect fit by following the measuring matrix, so all is good. Love the material since it is not heavy, but very smooth! Will order another model soon!

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 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 :))

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'!

Super cute! Fits well! Looks good! Only thing that saddened me was that I had to "weather" it so it would look old and worn. I love it, though!

I've never really been a big "hat person." In the deep South, mostly that means shruggin on a ballcap to keep the sun off. Nice hats are for pretentious people with more money than sense. WELP...guess I've lost my damn mind! It's a nice hat, really damn nice - almost too nice to wear to keep the sun outta my eyes when I'm gardening! And that's the whole reason I bought the dang thing, lol! But hey...can't blame a hat for being too nice; or those who made it! Thanks Historical Emporium! Quality work here, it's a keeper! ...eyein that Homburg now, haha!

well pleased

For the price and being made in China is a OK hat, go starter for those on a budget

It’s a beautiful wool hat. It’s well made and the perfect fit. It’s looks way better then the picture on line. I’d buy from you again. This was a gift. The person really liked the hat. The quality and excellent fit. Also the ability to adjust the head band on the inside.

Nice style and well made. Seems to run true to size. The shape allows the sizing to not be very critical. I am very happy with it.
