Bozeman Outdoor Hat - Light Brown

I saw many good reviews and some unhappy reviews so I was a bit nervous to shell out $120 for a hat as I’ve never purchased a quality felt hat before. The reasons why I’m thrilled with this hat are: 1. The seller packed the hat upside-down in their own box. The inside had a cutout for the crown to poke through the support layer. This was then padded with foam to prevent creases or markings. (Some people said the hat arrived in a bag??) 2. The felt didn’t have any defects as one person described: “pimples” and no moth damage as another had described. 3. The hat fits me like it was made for me!! I’ve tried mediums in other brands but this is the only one that fits true to the size chart. My head measures about 22.25” or so just above the ears. In baseball caps I wear size 7 1/8 I believe. 4. The felt is heavy (weight wise) and feels very premium and high quality. 5. The sweat band is this soft, vented athletic fabric and I like that it helps hold the hat in place. 6. The style is slightly western and slightly classic and I think it is absolutely flattering for all occasions. I will see how it holds up in the weather, but all of the reviews that mentioned that were satisfied with it’s performance. Also felt loves to pick up lint and pet hair, so keep that in mind, especially if you purchase it in black or another dark color.

Hate came well packed with a cardboard shell around it with good protection and shipping was very fast. It does run true to size or just a tiny bit snug (for me) but has some give with the material. It also has a softer feel with the wool with nice spring back if rolled. It wears a bit warm which is nice for cold fall and winter days but might be a bit much for warmer regions. The water resistance works good and should hold up through the wet season. I wasn’t sure if I would like the color in person but ended up being very pleased. I chose this hat because I didn’t want a full fledged cowboy hat and something more versatile for outdoor work and general activity. There are lots of options in an outdoor style hat but if this is a style you decide on you won’t be disappointed - very comfortable, versatility, and the quality is great! I also get a lot of compliments which is always nice.

Fantastic hat. Glorious. True to the size chart! Not too hot for mild weather and fashionable enough to get away with a wide range of wear.

It’s a very stylish hat. It’s made out of wool and good for the Fall weather. The hat quality is excellent. It’s very soft to the touch. It’s also water repellent which is a nice feature. It’s not floppy or too stiff. It hold its form well. I have a small head. I’m usually either a medium or small in hats. I tried a small in this hat and it was too small. Then I tried a medium and it fit perfectly. I think my head is like a 7 1/8 size. I’m satisfied with this hat.

Pretty nice hat. Don’t like the inner sweat-band at all. Poor craftsmanship band is paper thin and the stitching 🧵 not strong enough to support a chin-strap.

Nice looking, soft and comfortable. My head is exactly 22” around - usually Size 7 - which for Stetson sizing is right in b/w upper end of Small and lower end of Medium. I chose this Bozeman in a Small b/c I wanted a snug fit so it doesn’t blow away on a windy day. Being a ‘crushable’ hat, this is made of soft felt that stretches a bit, so while it was a bit tight initially, it quickly stretched just enough for a perfect custom fit. If you want a looser fit, then go for a Medium. (I have another Stetson that is not a crushable, and I got that in a Medium and it fits nicely w/ just a slight bit of wiggle room all around.) This Bozeman arrived w/o much of a defined shape to it - the crown was a puffy looking and not much of a visible pinch on the front; I wanted a more sculpted look so I reshaped it to my liking using steam from a kettle, which is quite easy to do. You can also soak it and shape it.

I’ve been buying Stetsons for decades and the Bozeman Outdoor hat for years. After going through many other styles and models I finally found this hat, which was the one I was searching for all that time. I just bought my 4th one now. The quality has remained constant in all of them, except that the 3rd one was a little thin. Being too thin means it won’t stay on your head in wind as well as thicker ones do, and sometimes when working it wants to fall off. I always catch it, but on the 1st and 2nd versions they were thick enough to grip my head, hold their shape in the wind without flying off, and they would stay put even if I turned my head upside down for a moment, as to look under something or to reach down to pet the dogs and cats. I’m hoping that the 4th one reverts to the original quality, and will report back after getting it. …er… and the 5th. I forgot to say that I ordered two this time. They didn’t have my green one, so I got two other colors. I’ll report back. Overall, the quality level of all the Stetsons I’ve owned (around 20) has been excellent. I’d wear them forever, but they get awfully dirty the way I use them, and after while I’d rather just replace them than to keep on wearing a stained-up, dirty hat. The hats themselves have never worn out. Always retain their shape, their feel and fit.

It arrived four days late, and without its original box. Now I doubt its authenticity. Despite that, I like the hat and it fits me well.

Recommend for any cowboys & cowgirls or who wannabe!
