Loved this hat! The quality and workmanship were amazing! Admittedly, I was being a bit of a movie-dork because my wife and I were going to Egypt, Turkey and Greece and I wanted to have shade AND look cool (not that I ever could), I allowed the pyramid winds (and those at the Acropolis) to blow my hat off several times — and even filmed it blowing through the sands and ruins. Now it’s dusty with the dirt of the ages and it’s gonna stay that way! Great quality hat!!!

The stitches holding the ribbon and bow to the body of the hat are quite visible, they contrast in color with the ribbon. There are also a couple of dangling threads hanging out from under the ribbon. Not the same finish quality as my two other Stetsons and not the expected finish for a >$200 hat.

I love it. I've always wanted a Stetson Fedora Temple felt fur. Now have both color in caribou and black. Thank you 😊

The hat arrived in a nice box but was not packed very well. There was a foam ring to protect the hat from being scuffed, but it was lose and not seated property. It was tangled in the hole for the crown. Also upon inspection, I noticed that the Stetson pin was missing from the ribbon ban. I was going to let Village know and ask for refund and return because it was the last one in my size. I noticed a rattling in the bottom the box, so took the inside apart and found the missing pin for the ban. I wish that the packing people would look the hats over for problems before shipping. This is the second time that I have had a problem with a hat that was shipped that had defects. On the positive side; I have purchased several hats from the Village with no problems. Customer service is very good.
