StetsonMen's Alamo Hat

Awesome hat , fit was perfect and wears like a dream, great for summer wear or all year long

This is an excellent hat! It's nice and light, so I can wear it for prolonged periods without cooking out. The sizing was accurate, so I could find a nice headwear fit without having to guess what "large" meant. And being a real Stetson, the authentic look was a given, far superior to the knock-off costume-grade appearance you see in a lot of other hats of this sort.Yes, there are minor imperfections if you look at the weave closely. And the hat is actually so light that if you live in a windswept area, it may attempt to let the winds launch the hat off your noggin - had that almost happen to me a couple times. But I was very pleased with the hat as I put it through all sorts of paces. It's not inexpensive, no... but if you're looking for a quality product, I think it's a selection worth shelling out for.Fun anecdote: I was sitting in my car outside a brewpub, my hat in the backseat, waiting for friends to arrive. A country boy who could have been straight from central casting - farmer's tan, world-weary pickup truck, country music blaring - parked next to me and immediately sparked up an exceedingly random "hey, that's a nice hat! you thinking of selling it?" conversation. If that's not a testament to both the hat's awesomeness and authenticity, I don't know what is.

Review a little premature but first impression is that it's a quality straw hat. Just received my hat today as I'm finally replacing my 25 yr. old Resistol straw so yeah a new summer hat is overdue. Shipping was fast with Prime, packaging simple just the hat in a bag tossed in a box but unlike some I've seen and read about mine suffered no damage and looks great. That hat fit true to size ordered (a shock for anything nowadays). It's simply a good looking western straw hat for casual wear and yard work. I'm a tried and true believer in buying made in the USA when I can and though Stetson/Resistol (same parent co.) now Japanese owned thankfully are still mfr. in Garland Tx. This hat seems as well made as my other Stetson Carson beaver felt hat I purchased 25yrs. ago. Granted the price is a bit much nowadays for a straw hat but nonetheless at least the quality is still there. 2 thumbs up.

The photos look great online, but once you get the hat, it came with many flaws. The hat was not delivered in a regular Amazon protected box, it came in a white plastic garment bag like if you were to buy a single t-shirt. The hat brim was severely dented like it was damage along the way. Once the Hat did arrive, there was no other way to un-bend the damaged brim. The hat did come a tad too large. I normally ware a size 7 5/8 & this was larger than advertised. There were several blemishes in the weave were the folds were at the top as you were look down on it. The over all shape of the hat was nothing like the photos online. Waiting for a replacement and very disappointed with this shopping experience.  Stetson Men's Alamo Hat, Natural, 7 5/8

I overall like my Stetson. Great fit, great brim shape, great light color. The problem I have with the hat is the leather sweat band. Its black on the side that doesnt touch your head, so when I sweat through the band, the black coloring slightly stained the straw. Now I have noticeable dots on the outside front portion of the crown from this happening. But, I bought it for my work hat so looks dont really matter as much.

This is easily a five star hat that fits great and looks even better. I've had more compliments on it than my fur felt 9x Milano at $800. If you want to see how it's going to look on you, check out Jeff Bridges' hat in "Come Hell or High Water." But here's the problem: it doesn't come in a hat box. It comes squished into a light cardboard box that isn't big enough, so it's tilted and the only packing is a couple of plastic air pillows. The box did not survive the trip. It was bashed on both the front and back, so the hat is bent slightly out of level in the back. Having worked as a hatter [yes, we are all mad], I was able to reshape it with some steam and a rolling pin. But the point is, no quality hat should ever be sent through the mail without a hat box! Especially a straw hat because had it been bounced around a bit more it would have cracked the straw. The hat is definitely worth the price. I've paid twice that for a similar Milano straw that didn't look half as good. Measure your head carefully. Straws don't forgive mistakes on the bigger side of things.

This pic is after ~10yrs of weekly wear. Haven't done much to it w/ regards to the shape, just a bit of bending when I first got it. The more heat, work, sweat and ocean water it's exposed to, the more aggressive it's shape has become and the better it looks. I get complimented on it whenever I wear it out. It's one of the best looking hats I've seen anybody wear.

I have always wanted a good quality cowboy hat, and I know that Stetson has a reputation as one of the best hat makers around. After checking out Stetson's page here on Amazon and picking this hat out, I will have to say that I love it and I am very pleased with my purchase. It arrived very promptly after I placed the order and it came in great condition. It arrived 3 days after being ordered. The sizing chart that they provide is also very accurate and I had no issues with the sizing at all. It fit me perfectly. It's made out of straw, so it will be nice and cool in the summer. It's a very light and well made hat. You have to take precautions with it though. Such as not wearing it in the rain or leaving it in a hot vehicle. This hat goes great with any kind of occasin. From backyard cookouts to looking great in a suit. I've also read that as long as these hats are well maintained, they can last a really long time. I would recommend this hat to anyone and I would definitely buy it again.
