Toyo Straw Safari Fedora Hat - Black Band

I have this hat, and my friend wanted me to order one for him. He loved it as much as I like mine.
Fits true to size, and is a good value.
Always great service from Village hat shop.

Great summer hat. My Husband loves it. Fits good and looks great.

This hat fits and looks great! It will be great for casual and somewhat more dressier occasions when the weather gets warmer!!

I love the Hat. It fits well and looks good.My only problem, and I should have known this, is that it's Toyo Straw and therefore is a little more delicate than a regular panama. If you "dent" it...it stays dented !!! That being said, I will save this for my "good" Hat and order another for casual rougher wear.

Everything very satisfactory.

fits good and is light weight

The hat is beautiful and fits. That being said it could fit better. I took the advice of others and ordered one size smaller than I wear. It does fit but I wish it would fit better. Seems tightish and I sound have ordered my regular size.

Bought this about a month ago. The fit is perfect, and the quality of construction seems very good. I've purchased 5-6 hats from Village Hat Shop over the past few years - always good products and service.

Everything went as well as possible. The online ordering and sizing information was perfect, and the packaging was great. The USPS was a bit slow, and i had a tough time waiting for my new hat, but it was worth it. Good bargain!

I wear it to play golf and it fits great.

I have a head size 7.5 Ordered Large and it's perfect. If your head is larger than 7.5 order XL. The hat is stiff enough to steam shape with a pot of boiling water on the stove. Shaped it the way I wanted and looks great. 5 Stars.

The hat has a great fit and looks sharp. Thank you!

First, I was very impressed with the way the hat was shipped. It arrived in perfect condition because of the packaging materials used. It is a perfect fit for my husband and looks great on him too. Thank you for attending to the details.

Great looking, near perfect fit. Terrific ego booster.

Well made hat, but was disappointed that the brim, which is supposed to be a turned-down brim, was actually flat. Had to take it to a local western wear store and have it steamed to get it to the proper shape. It cost as much to have that done as the hat cost in the first place.

Hat was VERY brittle and not what I expected as to quality. Not an expensive hat but not worth the price for the quality...

Great looking hat, excellent quality and fit.

That hat that I received is a little better quality than I expected and as such I should get more than one season out of it as a result. It fits perfectly and looks great on. The only take away is that it's a little stiffer than I expected but I'm sure after wearing for awhile it will loosen up some. Either way,I'm very happy with my purchase overall.

I have ordered two Jaxon hats. They both were very well built and the sizing was dead on. I will buy Jaxon again.

At this price and point and with this quality, this hat is definite winner. The packaging was also outstanding.

My husband loved it. Good fit, stylish and perfect for summer wear!

I am always seen outside my house 95% of the time wearing a cap or hat. This is my second purchase of a Jaxon Hat since the hat lasted such a long time. I am a very satisfied customer of their hats and consider this hat style to be both durable but great looking.

Excellent quality product and fast delivery!

This White Jaxon Straw hat looks great, but the fitting is not of a typical hat. The problem for me is the depth from the crown to the brim inside is not tall enough. Also the elastic webbed headband does not conform to fit properly with the elastic performing as a type of netting to embrace the forehead to hold to the head. It is nothing like any other hat I own and I have a Scala with a web type headband which fits much more comfortably.

This hat depth ay be reduced by the Crown, it just sits on my head instead of fitting my head. The advertisement or another review mentioned the size could be smaller than others of the same size, so I ordered the large, which is not as large as my Scala one size fits most, nor is it as large as my Champ, another Scala, or my Stetson.

Wrapping up, overall the design I think could be improved with the maker adding about another inch in the depth from Crown to Brim, this would give way for the lining of the elastic headband to be used to its fullest, instead of the opening 1/4 inch of the 2 inches or so. By adding this extra would not take away from the sharp look of the hat and I think it would be even a best buy. As is, it does not meet my needs or expectations and I cannot wear it.

For an added bonus, the packaging of the hat was good, but it too could improve and provide a lid for the box that it could be used as a hat storage box.

The hat came quickly and was exactly what we needed. It was easy to figure out the size using the site tips. One tip: At first we thought the hat was too big but removing the cardboard inside solved that, so don't panic! We would definitely order again!

Love this straw panama style hat! Fits well, protects me from sun, and is accurately priced. Nice looking summer hat I wear from casual to formal!

Like this hat, clean look, fits great, wider brim than most of my hats but great for a change. the inside of the hat has an elastic band that I believe if you order the wrong size will pop the hat off of your head. but if you get the correct size. it helps hold it on your head even when the wind is blowing hard. great hat.

Excellent quality, fast shipping.

Very stylish and keeps the head cool. Lots of compliments. Fast shipping and excellent packaging.

Jaxon hats and Village Hat Shop exceeded all I expected. Village is a premium marketing firm delivering high grade hats at sane prices. This Jaxon Hats Toyo Straw Safari Fedora Hat is perfect in every way. Next time I may order one size smaller, but this works well for now. Compare this ehat against "Panama" hats, though they are "higher quality" straw, they're no better for looks, wear, or function than this Jaxon.

I am a new fan. I'll be back often. Thanks Village for being there AND getting this hat to me so quickly. I am telling everyone hat person I know..."buy Village or pay too much"

Great hat for the price. Thank You FAST shipping, packing was excellence

A great summer hat! Being a red-headed person, a summer hat is a necessity and finding a nice one that suits me is a challenge. Based on the Jaxon Ford Fedora that I wear in the Fall and Winter, I figured that this Toyo Straw would fill the bill and it certainly did. So good that I turned right around and bought another as a gift for a friend's birthday...he's another red-head and loves the hat. Great customer service from Village Hat Shop...you are my go-to guys when it comes to headgear. Thanks!

great quality and construction sits well and has a great profile price was very reasonable and the delivery time was very timely, I'll be back for a winter hat

The hat has a very nice shape and fits nicely. My husband was very pleased with his gift.

I was a little hesitant to buy this hat because several customer reviews had cautions about the size. But I followed the sizing instructions on the website and when it arrived, it fit perfectly. I like the look and the feel, it's very lightweight and cool, and I'd do it again for sure.

Fast delivery, fits perfectly and looks great and the price was right. I do not know what else you could want.

For the money and comfort cannot beat this hat. Wore it on recent trip to NOLA in the heat and humidity, it helped protect against sun and sweat. Loved it!

The hat is a nice hat is what i wanted; however the size was not what I expected. I did call and was able to speak to a representative who was very nice and professional. Her suggestion as to let her send what I guess they call hat sizer and I agreed. Received the hat sizer and applied to the hat and agreed to keep it instead of returning. So for now I'm happy with the hat and in the future will continue to shop at Village hat shop.

Regards,
Robert.

Great fitting hat and enjoying the attention it is getting from family and friends

Very nice hat. I read reviews about sizing and they were correct. It runs small. I wear a 7 1/4 and the medium fits perfectly. It's looks very classy even on me.

Nice Hat. Looks good. Got many complements. When I got it I was scared it would be to small. However, the inner band expands for a snug fit. The weave is a bit large, but to be expected for the price. Overall, pleased.

My new straw hat was purchased for those really HOT, sunny days on the golf course. These days you need protection for your face and the back of your neck. This hat will provide that. The only issue may be it's super light weight. It can blow off your head in the slightest wind. But I do love it.

Love this hat, get compliments on it all the time! Wear it to work, events, everywhere! Bought 2 more today, a black & a tan band, as it finally succumbed to my 5 yr old grandson! One caution, I normally wear a small, but a large fits perfectly with this hat.

The hat was exactly as represented, and was in great condition upon arrival. The order was filled fast, and shipping was timely. I would definitely recommend ordering from this company.

This straw safari hat not only fits good it also well constructed. Very stylish with the black band.

THE HAT CAME SOONER THAN PROMISED.QUALITY IS SUPERB.PACKAGING WAS METICULOUS. CROWN OF HAT WAS PROTECTED.

This is a perfect hat for the summer. Beautiful and the style is perfect. Love it.

This hat is a real bargain. It looks great and can be worn for dressy occasions. Price is terrific for a hat of this quality and it fit me great.

Bought hat for a trip to Arizona & Utah, it did keep the sun off my head and ears. Plus it looks good, and I didn't sweat it inside of the hat as it stayed cool. Gary

the hat seems to be a good value for the money. I'll wear it mainly on the golf course - time will tell how it will hold up. Sizing was good and the hat fits comfortably and securely on my head.

nice hat for now, , you only get what you pay for. never seen a straw hat so thin, ill bet it will really hold up in the florida sun and sweat.

This hat looks even better than the catalog. Fits perfectly. Love the elastic sweat band.

Shipped and received on time. Hat was exactly as presented. Size was true. Great hat, super value. I'm ready to try a similar, but a little bit of an upgrade soon. Very satisfied!

I have ordered a few hats from Village Hat Shop and I've purchased a few at some local places. This is by far my favorite. I've received many compliments, you will too. I have one similar looking hat that was very flimsy and soft. I was afraid about this one, but this hat is stiff enough to keep it's shape. My hat size is 7 1/8 and the medium fit my head perfectly. The elastic head band makes for a very comfortable wear.

I really like the way this hat looks and fits. I ordered it by phone and the person tasking my order advised me that these hats run a little large, so I ordered a medium when I normally wear a large. The medium is a perfect fit.

I just bought one the hat is perfect, great customer service too.

Hat was shipped quickly and arrived as advertised. Quality hat for a quality price

I've been watching for a good knock-around Summer Time straw hat for a while. When the Jaxon Toyo Straw hat went on sale (and free shipping), I had to get it. Now I want to keep it in the plastic bag because it's too nice of a hat to knock-around in!

Loved it!! This hat was worth every penny and then some

Just what I was looking for. I wore it everyday while on vacation in Florida and the Bahamas, it looks a little out of place right now here in Michigan though!

I've probably bought a dozen of these hats over the years. They are great hats. They look good, fit well and stay crisp and sharp. Tip: I have learned that if you get the hat one size up and then insert a ""hat sizer"" so it will fit, the hat sizer absorbs persperation so the hat does not get sweat stained. I've done this with two Toyo Safaris, one with a tan band and one with a black band, and after months of wearing they still show no signs of sweat stains. A great hat at a great price.

Just the hat I wanted. had to return for a smaller size and received good service.

After buying several hats from Village Hat Shop and being extremely happy with them. I purchased a large hat and it felt like it was 2 sizes too big. I re-ordered a medium and it is a little snug.

Very pleased with the Hat. It arrived in great condition and I have received several compliments on the hat.

i we ar this hat everywere i go and always get raves price is right u cant go wrong

Good looks with a goof fit. A little stiff but that comes with a ""grass hat.""

I have a big head and its hard to find a good hat. I ordered the ex-large, it fit like a glove. I wear this hat around town and have got many compliments on it.

I bought one of these hats for my son for his birthday, and liked it so much I thought to keep it for myself. But, that wouldn't be nice, so I got another one for me. Light, sturdy, and well made. It appears that it will give years of service. We are ""hat people"" and have bought from VillageHatShop before. Always good service, always good prices, always good quality... And pretty nice people.

I where a 7 3/8 so I order the Large and it was way too big, I was also disappointed by the brittle feel of the hat, it may have a great price but its not a great hat

This is the 4th one I have ordered for my husband...that should say it all

It's a wonderful looking hat with great quality. Sleek, classy, sharp. The price is great too.

I like the hat. It's a better deal than anything I could find in my local stores.

The hat is cheap. I bought it to back up my Panama Jack. It doesn't fit right and I fear any breeze will take it the for a ride. Hopefully, it'll become a nice bird's nest. At least then something(s) will enjoy it.

I ordered 4 hats and they arrived promptly. They have a nice look and fit perfectly. I wear a hat everyday so they get a lot of wear. These hats don't hold their shape as well as more expensive hats, but they are a good bargain.

I bought this hat for the summer of 2009 and I loved it! It's a great hat at a great price. Very stylish. Highly recommended.

Someone stole my Stetson so i bought this to finish the season. It doesn't hodl shape and is generally ewak in construction. It's cheap because it's a cheap hat and it won't make it through the fall, let alone next season.

The Safari Fedora was just as I had anticipated. Great fit, comfortable, cool and looks terrific. Could not be more pleased.

outstanding hat, great value. love it very much. shipping is costly, but that's how it is when you live in the middle of the pacific. no big deal. cool, light weight, practical.

The hat came quickly, it fits great and I wear it a lot. My only complaint is that I paid $22.95 for it and now it's on sale for $16.95. Rats. Makes me wish I needed another one!

The hat fit nicely and I've hat quite a number of compliments on it's looks. Very nice hat at a very low price

Quite stylish and guaranteed to get you attention. Too bad I waited this late in the season to buy, as Labor Day nears and the straw hat season is behind us.

shipped me the wrong size, called them , shipped it back in the box i received, paid for that too. when they received the hat, they claimed it was crushed and i'd have to file a claim with UPS. but i didnt have an account with ups so i cant. so i have no hat and paid double shipping. have two good hats from VHS but WILL NOT BE DOING ANY FUTURE BUSINESS WITH THEM UNLESS I GET A REFUND.

This hat ran big small was more like a medium.

I purchased this hat to complete my ""period clothing"" to go with my 1941 Chevrolet, when I show it. This type of Fedora has remained in style for a long time - a classic.It's great!

Great hat! I really enjoy wearing it - lots of compliments, too.

great hat weve had nine days with 100+ and wore it every day great for sun block comfortable and had many compliments thanks

Great hat at a reasonable price. Enjoy wearing it and have had many compliments.

Everyone complements me on my hat. I feel its very stylish and functional.

fantastic hat at the price point. As an abuelo, my dominican and pueto rican grandaughters just love this hat.

I wore it to a State Football game ""tailgate"" party with the team logo pin in the front. Everyone had to try it on and loved the hat. Most wanted to know where I got it and I was glad to oblige.

This is my new favorite hat. It is very comfortable and stylish. I love it.

Great Hat,Great Price,Great Look And GreatService.I Have Received Great Comments.

This is truly a cool hat, especially for the price.The size (Medium) was a bit large, but I learned a trick using ""hatter's tape"" (duct tape) from one of your competitors (Hat Guys in Oakland), and it solved that problem.

I received my hats, one of them is the Jaxon Crushable C-Crow Fedora, I can say that the hat is excellent for the price. The others are Jaxon Ivory Toyo Safari Fedora only $ 16 for that price excellent, and also the Jaxon Crushable Wool Safari II another excellent hat I'm so happy with all this great hats. Fast shipping all the way from California to New Jersey. Great services.

the girls in my band love the hat and the look. The audience sees the hat before they see me.

good--comfortable hat--light weight--and cool looking

Great hat for the price. If you want a hat for casual wear without spending a lot of money, this hat would be a great choice.
