StetsonLaurel Straw Hat

THis is my second. My daughter claimed my first one...lol. I've been wearing this for over a decade now. The new one looks identical to the one I fell in love with,

El material del sombrero es de mala calidad. Tiene buena forma y estilo, y aunque la marca es muy buena, dudo que dure mucho sin deteriorarse fácilmente. La marca no debería arriesgar prestigio con ese material tan económico. Además tardo 2 meses en llegarme. Si no lo pueden surtir en el tiempo que dicen, porque siguen ofreciendolo así?Estoy pensando devolverlo.

It came in a box so it’s wasn’t smushed, it’s sturdy enough that it won’t lose shape but still has that malleable straw hat feel, fits exactly as says, and it looks great. Exactly what I was looking to buy, very pleased. Def recommend.

My head measured at 22.8 inches which would have been a "large" according to their chart. The large size engulfed my head. I checked the label to ensure that it was the correct size, and it read "large". As such, it is unwearable. Looked really nice, but I am also disappointed somewhat by the super light-weight construction. It wouldn't last long at all under daily wear. It's more like a costume hat. I wear a hat for work, not fashion. It has been sent back and I'll stick with my usual Peter Grimm hat for which I get an average of 3 years of daily wear before unraveling.

The media could not be loaded.  I don’t know how there could be such a drastic difference in shipping because I received my hat in a great structured box with an insert to help protect the brim of the hat etc. Good quality, I’m not sure if it’s ACTUALLY STETSON (came with a made in Mexico sticker and it’s nowhere to be found on Stetson’s website or widely known retailers of Stetson products) BUT - I’m no expert and who knows? It’s good enough quality that I don’t care. I bought it as a summer sun shade on the lake. I feel like I got my money’s worth for sure. Flexible but holds its shape. Sweat band is good quality compared to what you’d expect in this price range. It’s the wrong size (my own fault) and I’m returning it but it’s so good that I reordered the correct size before shipping this one back haha!
