A fine hat indeed... (4/5) | Jul 13, 2010 | Cole D. | Oklahoma City Ok US |
| I bought this hat for my Joliet Jake Blues costume and it is very close to the look of his hat in the film. I looked for the perfect "Jake hat" for a while and when I found this one, I felt it was the best choice. I bought a size 7 1/2 and it felt a tad too tight, so I got it streached which did help. I'm not crazy about the fit of the hat, but I think that has to do with this particular style. A great "Jake hat". | ||||

AWSOME HAT!! (5/5) | Nov 12, 2007 | M. Dominguez | Austin Te US |
|
This hat looks and feels like it should cost twice as much as it does. The fur felt is beautiful. I initially ordered the black and like it so much I wasted no time ordering a grey to match! Truly a great value! |

Dapper (5/5) | Jan 19, 2009 | Debi Nightingale | Liberty SC US |
| I bought this hat for my husband as a Christmas gift. He looks really dapper in this hat, and has received a number of compliments. He bought a Jaxon Iconoclast and a packable wool last year, and looked so good in those I couldn't resist the Detroit. I really wish, as he does, that men would wear hats like this like they used to. | ||||

Dynamite Fedora (5/5) | Dec 26, 2009 | TJ Millard | Keyport NJ US |
| Wow-what a great hat. Both my wife and myself were blown away with the fit and finish. A wonderful product at a bargain price. I would definately recommend this hat to any fedora aficionado. Great job, Jaxon! | ||||

FIRST HAT EVER. (5/5) | May 22, 2008 | STEVE GUDMUNSEN | MANCHESTER - UK |
|
THIS IS MY FIRST HAT EVER AND I LOVE IT. QUALITY MADE, GIVES A CLASSIC LOOK WITHOUT APPEARING LIKE A CHEAP FANCY DRESS ITEM. NOT MANY PEOPLE IN UK WEAR PROPER HATS NOW, BUT THIS WIPES THE FLOOR WITH THE BASEBALL CAP, WOOLY BOBBLE HAT, BANDANA WEARING RABBLE. CHEERS. HOWEVER HAT ONLY JUST FITS AS I HAVE HAIR VERY SHORT, IDEALLY MORE OF YOUR HATS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE UP TO SIZE 8/XXL. |

five years of daily wear (5/5) | Oct 18, 2008 | Anonymous | |
| I ordered my grey Jaxon Detroit five years ago, and it has been my every day hat ever since. It looks great, wears comfortably, and gets frequent compliments. I've had more expensive hats that just weren't as good. If anything ever happens to my Detroit, I'll be replacing it with an identical one. | ||||

Feels like a custom made. Great everyday hat that looks good with everything, even my mug! Wish it was a bit stiffer tho. |

Great Hat (5/5) | Oct 9, 2009 | Carl Clark | Pueblo Co US |
| I received my hat a few weeks ago and wanted to wear it a few times before I made any comments. It is a great hat. It looks good and it fits comfortably on my head. I do not wear hats that often but I will come back when I decide to purchase another one. | ||||

Great hat, and even better customer service. (4/5) | Aug 14, 2011 | Dylan | Belleville On CA |

Other than the ridiculous international shipping cost which cannot be helped, this has been a great transaction. The hat arrived with a couple of minor defects [creasing in the band and an unfinished stitch], but the customer service provided by Village Hat Shop is second to none. They guided me through the process of straightening out the band, and the unfinished stitch was a quick fix. I was also unsure about the ribbon, as the one side is askew, but the customer service agent explained to me that this is the style with modern men's hats [which I've found is absolutely true after paying attention in Google searches]. I would have to say that I agree with a lot of the other reviewers regarding the actual colour as opposed to the appearance on the website. I ordered it in gray, and it is much darker, with a VERY SLIGHT tinge of green. The colour actually worked better for me, as it matches my trenchcoat. As for the size, I ordered it one size larger than my headsize [a suggestion from a couple of other reviewers], and in my case, it didn't seem to help. In future, I will be ordering in my exact size. This hat is of superb quality. The fur felt is thick [yet surprisingly cool to wear in the sun] and water resistant. The snap-brim stays curved up in the back and on the sides, and stays snapped down in the front. Just what I was looking for. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars for me is the fact that it costs $100, yet arrived with defects [however, minor]. I haven't heard of many other reviewers with this happening to them, so it seems as if it is a rare occurance. |

Great Hat, Great Value (5/5) | Dec 23, 2009 | Dragon Boy | Suzhou CN |
| The Jaxon Detroit came at a great price and stands up beautifully next to the Stetson Selby I recently purchased for $130. I actually prefer the lining in the Detroit to that in the Stetson. This is an excellent dress hat and a great value. Now that I have one in black, I'm going to order another in gray. | ||||
