Great hat (5/5) Dec 11, 2008 Mark Bozeman MT US
  I've been looking to replace my cigar smoking hat for about 6 months and I'm gonna wear this one all the time! I love it! Fantastic hat! It came out of the box looking slightly used which is great, since I don't want a dressy fedora, it fits like a glove er, I mean hat. If this hat ever comes in grey PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE email me and let me know!
Great Lid!! (5/5) Jan 10, 2009 Harvey Carreathers Albuquerque NM US
  I love this hat. Very comfortable and they had a size to fit my big melon! I get complements all the time. The customer service is tremendous! I had ordered the wrong size and color and with an email over the weekend they were able to find my hat and replace it and it still got here on time. I have directed all of my friends to this site! Thanks!
Jaxon Crushable Wool Safari Hat (5/5) Sep 14, 2009 Paul Grimm Baltimore Ma US
  I ordered this hat originally in size large and it was too large so I reordered it in a medium which is fine. The hat is very well made and a bargain at the price sold. I liked the hat enough to order a second one in black. I also appreciate the excellent service by the Village Hat Shoppe and will order from them again.
They seem to run large... (3/5) Sep 27, 2009 Charles M. Barnard Menomonie WI US
  Ordered 1 in brown & one in black, along with the Toyo Safari. All in medium. I run 35-36CM size 7 1/8 and these were enough larger that I could stick all 4 fingers under the front of the hat and it was still loose.

Exchanged for Small, which will hopefully fit.

They are very nice looking hats and seem well-made, it's just a shame that the hat industry can't seem to standardize their sizing...they'd ALL do more business if they did, in particular Internet sales.

Sad too, because if the retailers were to set up a standard (preferably SI units) and include the size specification in their orders and refuse to accept deviations, the manufacturers would rapidly hue the line.

Might I suggest for a standard:

Inside circumference, inside front to back and side to side and possibly the bottom to center crown point, all in millimeters

  I ordered two of these hats as gifts for my twin grandsons who are in college. They LOVED the hats, and I figure this gift was really a winner!! I will be back, and thanks for such a broad selection and great prices!
Hat was too large (1/5) Oct 28, 2009 John Doe Mt. Pocono pa US
  I ordered a size medium along with several other size medium Jaxon hats at the same time. This one was way over sized so I sent it back for an size exchange and ended up being refunded instead of getting another hat.
product review (5/5) Oct 28, 2009 Rusty Dane new Straitsville Oh US
  We ordered 8 of these hats for the men in our wedding party. They were the perfect accent to the zoot tuxes that they were wearing. The people that I spoke to at The Village Hat Shop were FANTASTIC! Even when I noticed the online invoice wasn't what I wanted, they checked it twice to make sure that it was in fact right. We had just over a week to get them ordered and delivered, and they were at my front door the day they were promised to be. I would not hesitate to re order hats from this company. I even suggested to the bridal shop that we got the tuxes from, that they try to get with this company so that they could offer another alternative to the $50.00 hats that they offer to go with the tuxes.
Great hat with some reservations (4/5) Oct 28, 2009 Anonymous
  My husband loves this hat, and it's a great hat for the price. Very dashing! He gets compliments on it everywhere we go. I'd rate it 5 stars if not for a few issues:

I got this hat for my husband in an XL. He's right on the borderline between an XL and an XXL, so buying him hats is always kind of a crapshoot. It was a bit small, so I carefully cut out the sweatband and now it fits well.

The feather on the side was, um, how to put this delicately? Hideous. So my husband removed it.

The only other issue I have with this hat is that the decorative band seems a bit loose, especially around the bow. It kind of gaps a little. I put in a few stitches to make it lay flat though, and now it's great!

  Read other view, so I went w large instead of XL never had a hat before so this may stretch a little other than that I am happy enuff. also not in cont. U.S. ( easier to keep this than try to return and find other prob..)
well worth it (4/5) Nov 1, 2009 Freddie Jaye Allentown PA US
  This is a great hat, and I've received numerous compliments on it. As another reviewer noted, though, sizing runs a bit large. I was able to exchange it for a smaller size, and I'm quite pleased. Customer service was stupendous, and I will be buying more hats in the future.

The only downside to the whole transaction was the exchange process. When the (smaller) replacement hat arrived, the package included a free adhesive backed "hat sizer" for making big hats a bit smaller. It would have been simpler and less costly for both parties to just send me the sizer in the first place, to use with the original hat.

Other than that, a wonderful company.-
