Super comfortable, no oily smell from the weather proofing. The brim is bendable to your preference. I already had one and purchased this for a friend. Wear it in the rain with no leakage. Has a "hidden" pocket in the top interior big enough for id card.

This hat feels like its made well and has become my favorite hat. I would def recommend if you are looking for a quality western hat. Its shaped well and looks amazing on.

I like the hat, this is my second one. Why 2? Well the brim wears very quickly. I keep it clean and sealed but holes wear in the brim after just a couple of years. I do use it in the rain but then again, it's designed for that as long as you seal it with their duck wax coating. My oilskin coat does much better, wish the hat would last longer.

Super quality. Strap keeps it on my head even when the wind is blowing hard. Keep the strap tight though or a rush will rip it off and you'll have to dust the hat off and re-sew the strap a little shorter. 10/10 will buy another hat from them.

This is a really well made hat and seems to be worth the price. I've worn it in the light rain once so far and it did not disappoint. The real test will come with the heavy PNW rains, but I'm optimistic. I cut off the back tassels to the length of the brim as they seemed useless to me and if they happened to tuck into your collar, it would let the rain travel right down the back of the neck. Rim is easily moldable with the wire insert.
I expect this purchase to last a very long time!
