Ford Crushable Wool Felt Fedora Hat

Been looking to replace a beloved hat for some time and this Ford Fedora is perfect. Excellent packaging and very prompt shipping.

My wife and I attended a 60 year renewal of vows ceremony with a reception themed in the ‘Great Gatsby’ era. I have a large head and was relieved that the Village Hat Shop was able to accommodate me. I wore the Ford crushable wool fedora and received non stop compliments on the hat and repeated questions on where I purchased it. This hat fit true to size and has a very classy look to it. I strongly recommend this hat, you won’t be disappointed.

This choice was exactly what I was looking for. I had ordered a similar hat that was too small. This one noted that the sizes ran a bit small and to order the next upper size. Good Advice! I bought a hat stretcher to try to fix the other one and it was never again worthwhile.

Bought this hat after I thought I lost my other felt hat. Found the old one, but since receiving this hat I wear the new hat all the time. It is the best hat I have ever owned. And at the price I paid it was well worth it. I have received several compliments about the hat. I have a large head and often have difficulty finding a hat large enough, this one fits perfect.

This is the second hat i purchased from Village hat shop. First one was a bit to small. I gave that one to my son, he loves it. The second one was a bit to big. I was sent hat sizer. Now fits just right. The only thing is i wish i picked black instead of brown:(

The hat is exactly as it was described and what I expected. However most reviewers said it ran large and you needed to order down 1 size which I did. Well it’s kinda snug so from my experience I would say it probably runs true to size. Anyway it’sa great hat and I love it!

Good quality and fit.
The only drawback is the "curling" of the sides of the brim. The brim is too narrow for that shaping; it makes it look even smaller than it is and puts it out of balance with the crown. It makes the hat look top heavy. Other productions of this hat have a flat brim (I used to have one), which improves the aesthetics of the hat and provides more protection on the sides.

Great hat he was totally surprised

Beautiful 🎩

LITTLE PRICEY BUT NICE HAT

I have received many compliments on how well this hat looks. Note it runs very big. I normally wear a large hat and the one I ordered is a medium and fits well.

It was a perfect transaction. I have a big pumpkin head so finding a hat, even a baseball cap, that doesn’t look like a little beanie making my head look even bigger. The hat was exactly as described and the size chart was exactly as shown. Great customer service follow up and the hat was delivered on the day it was promised. What else can you ask for? I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Beautiful hat got here fast its the best product i seen yet

Follow the instructions and get the size smaller. I'm normally an XL (61cm) but size L fits perfectly. I got in both brown and black. Feather is easily removable if you don't care for it. Anyway, looks great and very comfortable. I wish it came in other colors, maybe a tan, beige or taupe. and gray.

fits well ordered 1 size smaller.
great service.

Inexpensive; shipped quickly; well packaged; perfect fit; good looking in a 1930's way.

This hat is awesome...I love it. This hat is so much better that my last felt fedora I had purchased from another store in my area. I'm glad I also ordered the hat sizers, since my hat size was between sizes, I opted for the larger size rather than the smaller size.

Love the hat, but the sizing is way off. I dropped one size down from a L to a M, and probably should have gone to a S. If it is windy more than likely it will blow off. I gave it a three because of the huge difference in size range.

The site warns that the sizes for this hat are larger than normal, and that's true, but the medium is slightly smaller than the normal large. It fits decently, but not perfectly. I wish the hat came in a slightly lighter shade of brown, but it works well enough.

I absolutely love this hat. The quality of the Jaxon hats is way better for the same look than the comparable Indiana Jones hat. Be aware of the recommendation about sizing. I normally wear XXL and I ordered the XL as recommended and it fits perfectly. It really is one size bigger.

I love this hat. It's a little thicker than the popular branded Indiana Jones hat, but softer and more comfortable to wear. The crushable/packable design is a plus if you travel.

Be sure to buy 1 size down. I'm a 61cm head size, but the Large fits perfectly.

Got the Jaxon Ford Fedora...looks great on me, really keeps my head warm in cold weather. Customer Support was excellent, and the hat arrived in 5 days! Will likely buy another hat from Village Hat Shop in the future.

A superb hat for it's price. Not one single hat could be made the same and true to size. A classic bold brown shade that EVERYONE notices. With the Ford fedora, you will feel a slight bit of prestige and pride. Would definitely recommend

Arrived when expected, good packaging (difficult to screw up a boxed hat, though), and it fits! OK, so I actually measured my head size correctly. I'm used to wearing caps, but this hat will replace those. I won't have to be concerned about the grandkids sitting on it, either.

I have been looking for years for a hat like this one. From the time I received it and first put it on, I knew it was the hat for me. I love the fact that it is crushable and weather proof. I wear it every day, and it goes with every outfit I choose to put on.

I almost gave a local hat fanatic a heart attack when I showed him how the hat was crushable. I told him I didn't want to stress about keeping my hat perfect, so I balled it up in front of him. I thought he was going to lose it completely. Then, he couldn't believe that it popped back into shape with little effort.

Thank you again for offering a truly wonderful item. I expect this one to last for years, but should I need another hat, I will be sure to visit the Village Hat Shop again.

Not as expected, but ok. Mine didn't look as I expected, I took a tape measure to it, and sure enough it is a 3" brim all the way around. This kind of gives it a western/country look. Over all the hat is well made and decent quality, so I probably won't return it... but haven't fully decided.

3 stars because it is a nice, quality hat, I just didn't expect the 3" side and back.

I really like this hat. I've received many compliments while wearing it.

Considering that this was an "impulse buy" on my part I was thrilled that my husband liked this hat as much as he did. He works in the fashion industry, and therefore has quite a collection of hats but what drew me to this one was the longer length of the brim. It's perfect for keeping the strong winter sunlight out of his eyes, and he looks great in it as well.

Nice hat shipped across the country for forty bucks can't be beat

This is a great hat! It fits well, and arrived quickly in a box designed to keep it undamaged. Well done Village Hat Shop!

Very nice hat! Just what my son wanted! It is difficult to find the correct size for my son's XXL head. We are very pleased with this high quality addition to the hat collection.

Love the Fedora Hat. It was even more than I expected.

Great hat for the price, not afraid to get it we as it is sturdy and will be easy to take care of for sure. Not a dressy as a thinner fur felt hat but those cost 4-5 times a much.

The hat was exactly what was advertised. It is the quality I expected, and it fit properly.
It shipped quickly.
Excellent as always.
Thanks

Ordered this hat and another style on a Friday.Both hats arrived at my door on Monday.Both hats were packed professionally in a tidy box suitable for storage, if need be.Both hats looked perfect and fit properly. These hats are awsome! My wife loves how they look on me. I will be doing more business with The Village Hat Shop in the future. Thank You so much.

I ordered a hat that was speedily shipped and delivered in a timely manner. The hat is just as described on the website. I love it and look forward to wearing it.

This hat is great. I got the XXL size, which was a little large, but a bit of foam tape under the sweatband gave it a perfect fit. It rolls up nicely to fit in my bag, and comes back to form beautifully. Would buy again!

Good hat, fair price, quick service and unbelievable support.

All companies should strive to this level

Great hat little too large for my head, but I did what some of the reviews recommended and put a strip of the foam behind the sweat band and it's a perfect fit!

The title of this review says everything, except that when I called about the error, it was corrected, forthwith and without cost to me, and done immediately.
The staff was not only courteous, but shipped me the hat I ordered, and gave me the hat that had been shipped free of charge. I gave it to a friend as a birthday present, and volunteered to the Village Hat representative that I would share my wonderful experience with others, which I am doing now, but also word of mouth. My friends think this hat is great, and have requested ordering info, prob 5 so far. I am amazingly satisfied and would recommend this website to everyone. Plus, What a selection!!!

Size does matter. After reading some of the reviews on the fit I chose the large over the medium. Shipping was confusing was told being sent Fed X with tracking number, # didn't work with FedEx or ups. Finally I tried # with USPS and it tracked it. Other than that hiccup all is well.

Very nice hat, seems quite well made. Odd, however, how large a SMALL hat is. In the oldest of traditions, found things to put in the sweat band to get it down another 1/2 inch and now it fits perfectly. Very good purchase.

My new Ford Fedora arrived in the mail today, after just two days from order! Wife got it for me for Valentine's day as I wanted a new black hat to use at the Masonic Lodge when I am master of ceremonies. It looks GREAT! Since I am an exact 7 1/2 hat size, it was just a smidge too large, but I cut a 1/8 inch slice off the white foam that came with the hat to protect it from the cardboard box and slipped it in behind the cloth inner band. Voila! Perfect fit! Now I can wear it with pride at our next Lodge ceremony!!!

I have been wanting a hat of this type and ordered this in my normal XXL size. It arrived fairly quickly and was just what I expected. It did seem just a little bit larger than I would like, so rather than padding the hatband I opted to return it for the next size smaller. The new XL size hat arrived shortly and is a perfect fit. The return process was painless. The only downside was having to pay the return shipping. It is a bit scary shopping online for things that need to fit and where sizing is not an exact science for manufacturers; but Village Hats no drama procedures for returns and exchanges takes a lot of the "scare" out of it!

This hat is everything I expected it to be. It's soft and crushable just as it should be, but still holds it shape very well. It's very comfortable and keeps my head pretty warm in chilly weather. I can definitely recommend this hat. =)

I am usually not a hat person. That just changed. Just about everyone I know has made the same comment on my "Indiana Jones" hat", from the mail carrier who delivered it to the young cashier at the grocery store. NO ONE doesn't love this hat. It feels good , looks amazing , and definitely makes my day.

I GOT A CRUSHABLE XXL JAXON FEDORA TWO MONTHS AGO, AND IT'S BEEN A "HONEYMOON." NO KIDDING--I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT, OUT OF THE BOX. FIRST OFF, IT CAME WITH BUILT-IN "CHARACTER," AND DIDN'T HAVE TO BE STEAMED, & MASSAGED 'TILL IT LOOKED GOOD. I WAS ALSO EXPECTING TO HAVE TO CHANGE THE FEATHERS, SINCE MOST HATS SEEM TO HAVE A RATTY PINCH OF HEN-FEATHERS, BUT I WAS SURPRISED AGAIN: NOT ONLY WERE THE ORIGINALS NICE, THEY WEREN'T ANCHORED WITH A BLOB OF GLUE, AND IT WAS EASY TO CUSTOMIZE. I GOT THE HAT TO WEAR WITH A SPECIAL SPORT-COAT--I'D WANTED A SET OF BLACK COAT AND FEDORA FOR YEARS--SO HOW THEY LOOKED TOGETHER WAS IMPORTANT. THEY GO TOGETHER LIKE THEY WERE A TAILORED SET. THANKS FOR SELLING A REALLY GREAT FEDORA.

My wife purchased the hat for my Christmas Present. I was surprised at how soon the hat arrived and it was exactly the hat I was looking for. I ended up making my own inserts as the hat was just a shade large. I can't tell you enough how pleased I am with your product.

The wide brim and tall crown really makes a statement. Very well-made, it should stand up to years of wear. The people at Villiagehatshop were very easy to deal with. I ordered by phone and had a shipping confirmation less than an hour after the order was completed. I will definitely buy from Villiagehatshop again!

Still have a LOST ARK hat from 30 years ago, new one is great, hope it last 30+years also.

I purchased the Crushable Ford Fedora Hat by Jaxon for myself...yes me, a girl!!?? Actually a woman who happens to have a whole mess of hair...average head and a whole lotta hair. So while badly wanting a fedora, none would fit - oh yeah, they fit "one size...mostly." Well, the Crushable Ford Fedora fit me like it was custom made; the quality and craftsmanship is excellent and overall, the hat looks far more expensive than it is. The chocolate color is gorgeous, and did I mention it really is crushable? I'm not sure what previous buyers were unhappy with when they purchased this hat; I think you should take another (and closer look) at it...as for me, I think I might get the black one as well...

This was my second purchase from VHS and it was just as perfect as the first time. Ordered this hat very late Wednesday evening online and had it before lunch on Saturday - and that's CA to Maine folks! Got to love free shipping. The box it came in was perfect and inside it had extra padding and a plastic bag for protection. Very professionally done. As the other reviews state, the hat tends to run large. I am a 7 & 3/8 (large) but ordered the medium and it was a perfect fit. It is of solid construction and looks fantastic. I wore it out today and have not been called sir so much since my service days ;-) Village Hat Shop is the only place you should be buying your hats. They have all the styles, free shipping, a seamless ordering system, customer focused representatives and a no hassle return policy should something not fit correctly. Why buy anywhere else?

This hat is great. I own about 24 hats, and I love this one. I was skeptical because of the low price, but this hat is of excellent quality for it's type. I wanted a hat that went well with a suit, and well as jeans. I wanted something that had a western look, but still had Urban appeal. This hat is perfect. The brim is slightly larger than a standard fedora, but smaller than an outback style hat. I took off the ribbon style band, and replaced it with a concho band that I bought from VHS as well. the new band brought out the western look. It now has a "Gambler" look to it. Love it.

First hat like this ever worn. I love it for all the reasons everyone gives..Many compliments. I live in Northeast and it's getting wet and chilly around here. This hat is perfect for me. Village Hat Shop's perfect too. Great deal and super service!

great hat , fits perfectly, received in a timely manner.

The hat has good style, the fit is proper, and the shipping was quick.

very nice hat for the money. First fedora didn't, open box right away wanted to saver the moment. I was in a rush when it arrived. very speedy shipping.great fit the reviews helped they said hat runs slightly large I'm in between sizes .I ordered the smaller size. the brim is a little larger then perfect. But will order again. With a return policy what do I have to loose

This is a nice hat and looks more expensive than I paid. The hat was slightly large, but Village Hat mailed me sizers free of charge that worked perfectly. I have bought hats here before and have never been disappointed.

ran a little larger than size, easy to fix with sweat band insert.

I received the fedora in a timely manner, and it was just a little too big. I asked the Village Hat Shop for a hat sizer, and they sent me two for free. Excellent service. The hat sizer worked just right, and the hat fits perfectly now. This style of hat has become a signature item for me, so I needed a spare.

I am extremely happy with this hat. It is comfortable and will pop back in place as advertised. The only issue I have is the 3"" brim is rather large. While I like the look. Others might want to look at a slightly smaller brim.

I've been looking for a nice one of these fedoras for a decent amount of time. Not wanting to break the bank and taking a chance on proper sizing led me to this one. Brim is nice, crown is just right (not too high) has a nice heft to it (not heavy but not flimsy either). I'm normally between a 7 1/2 to 7 5/8. I'll tell you right off the bat, order the large. I made the mistake of the XL at first and sent it back. So far so good. If it stands the ""crushable"" challenge ill be pleasantly surprised.

If one Googles ""fedora"" as I did, one will find a lot of trendy, over-priced low-quality headwear. I didn't know how often I would get to wear this hat so I didn't want to spend a lot but I didn't want cheap looking rubbish either. When the well packaged box arrived I was very pleased with what I got. Not only will I wear this hat often, I fully intend to purchase more of different varieties and colors.

I really love this hat. It feels good on my head. I have had people make comments on what a good looking hat. I'm doing my best to get hats back in style. I do wish that you all had this same hat in grey though. I like the c crown and the 4"" brim.

The quality of this hat and the durability of the hat is of the utmost quality. I will make this purchase again.

First hat was too large. Return was easy. Replacement fit perfectly. Ordered same smaller size this time and it also fits great. Good value and lots of compliments on both hats.

When the hat came, I could not wait to get it out of the box, to put it on, I love hats of all kind's but this is one of my favorite styles, so I have not worn it yet, but I will, and I'm not finish ordering more hats, I have three, from VHS, and they are all crushable, so you guys and gals want a good hat then get it from VHS, great price too.

Completely satisfied, sizing tends to the larger so adjust accordingly

The hat was exactly what I was looking for, and good quality too! Thank you from a satisfied customer

I really like the hat a little big though blows off in the wind. My size was between the sizes so I got the larger. If I order again I will get the smaller. But it is a nice hat. Have gotten complements.

had one of my own and wear all the time. bought a small for my girl and she loves it!!

A great hat that looks good and feels even better. It has character. I got it in just a few days in great shape. Much thanks to VHS and previous buyers telling me to order the next size down. In my case it resulted in a perfect fit. And, I'm kind of a ""between"" sizes guy. In a world of duces....VHS is an Ace.

The hat size is spot on. Love the style and look of the hat. Have already ordered two other styles. Can't wait to get them. Thanks Village Hat Shop.

This is a very good quality hat! Well-made and durable, I am greatly enjoying such. While the sizing is somewhat generic in nature, such is to be expected. Such being the case, it is as well to be expected that a new hat will wear somewhat differently than a hat one is accustomed to. Again, a very good hat that I plan to keep for years!

This is a very nice hat, especially for the price! I had been looking for a hat that was more ""Dick Tracey"" style but could not find one that was crushable. This hat has a bit more cowboy look then I wanted but that doesn't stop me from wearing it. It does run more towards the 7-5/8"" size.

Th is the second of these hats I've purchased, so I have one in each color. Finally a fedora that's big enough! Be aware, however, that they really do run large, which is why they quallify for free hat sizers. You'll have to call or email them to get the hat sizers, but they were very nice and responsive about sending them to me at no charge. I just wish that they had sent black sizers, since the hats are black and brown; they sent white, which is glaring when you take the hat off. But that's not the hat's fault--these hats are a tremendous value.

I was searching for a black stylish hat to wear saw this ordered it and love the fit and feel

I have a big head--63 cm. I had been looking for a outback/fedora style hat for quite some time. The largest I could find ANYWHERE is XXL, or 62 cm, which I know from experience would give me a headache. Then I found this hat online, with the note that this hat runs one size larger and qualifies for free hat sizers. There was no way to add ""complimentary"" items to the online order, but I thought ""one size up from 62 cm should be just right; I won't need the sizers."") As it turns out, it runs a bit more than one size larger, and I do need them. I called and the customer rep said, ""I'll send them to you right away."" Excellent customer service. Even my teenage daughter, who thinks her parents' style is as unhip as can be said, ""woah, nice hat, dad."" I like this hat so much I went back to get another one in the other color. Be forewarned, however, when they say this hat runs big, it runs BIG. But that's exactly what I needed.

This was a Christmas present from my wife. We sized it from your sizing info and both my wife and daughter said it is the best looking hat I own. I totally agree. I'm VERY pleased with it!!!

This is a great hat! Brim not too large so you don't look like a cowboy. Harkens back to the day all men wore hats. Soft, comfortable and crushable. Can't ask for more!

The Ford Fedora hat by Jaxon is exactly what I was looking for! Lightweight, good shape, color, and the feather adds a finishing touch. Ordering from Village Hats was easy and they are great to work with! I plan to buy more hats very soon.

The presentation in this hat exudes self confidence. Additionally, The brim, especially toward the front, provides superior shade from the sun and some mystery. Obviously, I am pleased with the functionality as well as the effect.

My favorite hat. I've even bought a second!It truly can respond to wear with great resilience.I had been looking for years for such a hat.

I was searching for a fedora, styled with an adventurous flair and slightly wider brim. I found exactly what I was looking for in this hat. The price is very reasonable for this kind of quality. This hat sits very comfortably on my head, and I wear it almost daily. I've gotten many compliments about this hat from strangers. I highly reccomend it.

I ordered the brown Ford Fedora,I love this hat. A week later, I ordered the black one. I own 8 other hats,these 2 are by far my favorites. They just have that classic look,and a price you can't beat The Village Hat Shop is the place to shop.

Really like the hat. Soft and very comfortable to wear. My wife was worried that wearing it out while it was snowing was going to produce stains. No Way! Perhaps I'll be looking for something just a bit lighter for the summer months.

Love the hat. After 3 tries we got the size right. Hat runs on the larger size. They were very helpful, and understanding

beautiful hat...fits perfect, best fitting hat I own...I wear it on my days off as my going to town hat because wear I work I do not want to get it greasy...good quality felt, could uses some extra stitching on the band but over all a great fedora...a very good chapeau :)

Bought this hat in Black to go with my leather jacket, and a few black suits.....always looks sharp fits great and received many compliments. Will get it in brown also because I love the fit, the look, it's a great steal at forty bucks!!,

Loved the hat. Was too big, even though they sent stick on on inserts, It would still have been too big. Returned for a smaller size. Am anxiously awaiting replacement.

This is an out of doors activity Fedora that can't be beat for the price. It's not a high fashion dress Fedora, but who would want to wear a hat like that out into the rain and snow?

I bought this hat for my father as a Christmas gift. Like me, my father always wears a hat when he goes out, and owns several. He could not be more happy with his crushable fedora. He has not worn another hat since he received this one. Given the low low price I was hesitant to order this one as quality usually comes at a high price. I have Borsalinos, Lockes, and Stetsons and have paid dearly for each. The quality of this hat cannot be criticized. The hat arrived four days after ordering it, another pleasant surprise.I recommend the Village Hat Shop in general and the crushable fedora in particular for service quality and price. What more is there?

I bought both brown and black and as always, very happy with them. They look and feel great. Too bad more men don't wear good looking hats anymore

This is another great hat that i have got from Jaxon hats!!! This is so very light to wear and i have got so many people that have made comments about how good it looks!! The Village Hat Shop as always got it to me very fast and with great service!! I will be back for more!! Do your self a favor and get this why you can!!!

The beauty of this hat is beyond words. Comfortable and warm, and the ""crushable"" nature adds comfort. As a lawyer, I can wear it to court, or wear it casually, or even to a fancy function. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to ""dress"" up a casual outfit or compliment an already nice ensemble. Its also warm and helps with the winter chill. Finally, to take off the hat and tip it to someone, shows class and respect. Its rare that people exhibit gentility these days in that manner and its usually greeted with a nice, warm grin!

So warm and comfortable, makes you look like a million bucks, and holds shape even when bent the wrong way. I stand out in a crowd. The clothes make the man, and the hat completes the package

I like the hat but when I ordered it I did notrealize that the sides were turned up as much as they are. The pictures did not make it look like the sides were turned up as much. Yet, I like it!

Bought this hat for myself, an 83 year old straight woman. I have to say it looks very stylish on me. I particularly like the attention to detail in the Jaxon hats. I have the brown fedora and plan to buy more.

I really like the Jaxon Crushable Ford Fedora hat! The hat is well made and fits well.

He's very hard on his hats! The last two didn't stand up to his abuse, so I was pleased to find this crushable, foldable, re-shapable hat for such a good price! He LOVES it! I ordered it last minute before the Solstice (our Holiday) and expected it to arrive by the end of the year. It arrived in only 3 Days!! In time to give as his main gift! He is very happy with it! Wears it all the time! Looks really good!

If I didn't have to take this hat off, I wouldn't. Super fit, very comfortable even in windy, nasty weather. Tough to think about ordering another hat when I have this! Sorry, guys!

This is a fablous hat! Exactly as pictured and described. Larger brims are perfect for warding off weather. Gonna love this one this winter. Shipping was fast and accurate too.

Now I've done it again. I bought this hat to make an old worn looking moonshiners hat. Now that I got it, the dang thing looks to good to that to it. Phooey! This is second hat that I've bought from Village Hat Shop thinking I would just use them for hunting and fishing. The first one looked to good to. Now I've got two great hats and no old rotten one.

Great hat for the price. Looks good, fits well and it keeps my warmer than I expected. This was my first purchase from the Village Hat Shop. Based on this experience it won't be my last.

Got this hat about a month ago. I love it! I got it in black, but I'm thinking it'd be cool in brown as well. We'll see.Anyway, ""hats off"" to Village Hat Shop!'I love my hat!

loved it,just what i will need this winter,thanks joe

Hey, for the price, the hat rocks. And kudos to Village Hat Shop for, once again, great, speedy service.

The hat is well-made and durable. It's just not blocked right, and can't be reblocked because it's been treated to be Crushable. A proper fedora will lie flat on a flat surface and assume the characteristic curve when worn. This one is strongly curved, bowed almost, and will never be anything else. Far from the classic fedora of Bogart and Ford, it's a cowboy hat with a ribbon band.

when will you get it in black again ??

When are they coming in,its almost Winter???

My only complaint is not being notified when it shipped. The rest is all good. It arrived in three days and fit perfectly out of the box. I have had compliments and even one person ask to buy it. I would definitely recommend this product.

I have been looking for a hat this great for along time. I am very satisfied and will buymore in the future. This hat will be serve wellduring the cold fall and winter months in thisarea of the country.

EXCELLENT! I originally ordered this hat for my Tom Baker ""Dr. Who"" costume, but it look so good I wear it everywhere! Excellent quality, light on the head, and defiantly worth the money. Village Hat Shop, you will definitely be getting my service again!

I inadvertently ordered the wrong size hat. I am in the process of exchanging that one for a larger size. I like the style......it looks like the one Neil Young wore at Live Aid (LOL)!!I had an English Western hat (something somewhat similar to this one) in the '70s; but it got messed up by an acquaintance. I am sure I will get much good wear out of the replacement 'Fedora'; as I did out of the English Western.I saw the exact same hat in a store a few days ago; it cost less, but having already paid for this one it would have been a waste of money.

Where to start looking is at Jaxon Hats of course. Chances are you won't need to look at any others before finding exactly what you are looking for. I always check the Jaxon Hats section here at VHS Online because the chances are very good that I'll find the style of hat I'm looking for. When compared to the other brands, I have discovered that Jaxon Hats often go the extra step and actually do have more to offer over the other brands, while the price is always a BARGAIN! And that is so very often the clincher that makes every Jaxon Hat the unmistakably perfect design. But you don't have to take my word for it. All you have to do is read all the comments from buyers that vouch they have received excellent quality, and not some cheap party gimmick that the low price would tend to dictate. Surprise!The Crushable Ford Fedora is an excellent example of what I'm talking about. It is a great choice if you prefer western styling without all the mega-brim width of the typical cowboy hat. Jaxon even goes the extra step in this package using 100% Packable Wool with the convenience of being able to stuff this one away rolled up, and yet it will always pop back into its original shape when preparing to wear it again. This Jaxon Fedora seemed to be exactly the western style I was looking for. So after browsing the catalogs I picked the two examples that best matched the necessary criteria. Upon arrival I found the Jaxon Ford Fedora to be constructed of plush packable felt wool. It fit perfectly and I was very comfortable wearing it. Overall, its quality was found to be satisfactory in every way. The Jaxon was exactly the hat I was expecting.However, the arrival of the other brand hat was a bit of a let-down. I'll not mention the other brand name, but that hat didn't even come close to meeting my expectations. For starters it was made of very stiff wool, with a feel as if it were fake wool made out of cardboard. The fit was too big and the stiffness of the hat material didn't help matters. Worst of all the hatband ribbon had broken into pieces and it was laying in the bottom of the shipping box when I opened it. Now I really don't think that it is the customer's responsibility to have to piece a brand new hat together before it can be worn, and I will be very skeptical about purchasing another product from that company in the future. Be assured this other hat was ordered from a different hat supplier, and certainly not from Village Hat Shop. VHS orders have always arrived in perfect condition.The Jaxon Crushable Ford Fedora is available in either black or brown and has the familiar style and wide ribbon hatband made famous by the Indiana Jones series. It suits me perfectly for wearing while I'm at work, or while doing just about anything for that matter. Thanks so much to the Jaxon Hats designer for another masterpiece, and to The Village Hat Shop Team for sending me yet another excellent hat to wear.

i got this hat because i need a black hat. This has turn out to be my favorate i like the side being a litte shorter then the front. Jaxon makes a great hat . i ve order a straw one can't waite to get it

After reading a previous review, I specifically asked the salesperson on the phone to verify that the hat I was ordering did NOT have the feather (which I definitely did not want). She assured me there was no feather, so I placed the order. The hat (and feather) came a day before my trip with no time for me to send it back. Therefore, I had to rip the feather out of the band - possibly causing some damage. Nice hat (little oversized), but accuracy from the salesperson would have been appreciated.

You can't beat this hat for the money it's style and it's portability it looks great and feels great and pops back into shape after being rolled up in a suit case for 12 hours. I own many fedoras, trilbys, military style field caps, and outback styles, and most cost more but they lack the flexibility of use for this hat. Its crushable, stylish and can be used for work, a night out, or casual events it's a good all around hat. I'm very pleased.

The hat feels great, keeps the sun off, and keeps the head dry. The material breathes, so no vent holes are required. The only qualms are not having a liner, and not being ""shapable,"" but that of course is the cost of the hat retaining its shape and ""crushable.""For the price, feel, and effectiveness of this hat, you really can't go wrong.

Excellent hat and very durable. Flew to Asia and wore the hat in rain, sleet, hail and snow and threw it in a bag and it came out holding its shape and looking good.

An excellent hat. Very soft, yet holds its shape. Very warm, wish I had it in January! Maybe a little hot on the noggin' in July, but I will wear it anyway...I've been wearing hats/fedoras all my life and this is my second crushable and it is superior to my last one like it.No complaints, and good service from Village.

A delightful treat for one's head. The price is awesome too. 5 stars.

I've been eyeing all the hats on your website and decided that the Jaxon Crushable Ford Fedora was the one for me. I chose the brown one, the color is perfect for everyday casual wear. Love the website and the video section is very entertaining.

Got this hat a couple of weeks ago, and finally have time to write a review. I've been wearing this hat (in brown) to my college classes, and have gotten nothing but compliments on it. The quality is great. I absolutely love this fedora. I would definitely buy another in a shade of LIGHT gray if you guys had it. 5 stars! And 2 thumbs up!

I bought this hat as replacement for my expensive fedora which blew away one windy NM day.As this hat was much less expensive I wasn't expecting too much, but I wrong! It's a fedora with a very current slightly flatter shape.. and a brim wide enough to keep the winter sun out of my eyes. Love the shade of brown, more of a chestnut really. I've had lots of compliments on it already....it's a keeper.

My dad and uncle's always wore fedora and I always wanted one and when now that I am going through chemo and radiation. I have radiation 5 days a week but what great hat, it has to be the best cancer. It does bring back my child hood days to me.

You know I've been reading the reviews of this hat both here and other places and I have to ask what do people expect for a $40 hat? Read the description too. If you're looking for a true fedora then put out the extra cash and buy a better one with the traditional 2 3/4 snap brim. Key words are ""snap brim"" here. This hat doesn't have that and it's evident by the picture. This hat is a cross between a fedora and an outback hat and that's exactly what I was looking for. Some say it looks like a cowboy hat. I own western hats and this hat is not western. As I said it is more Australian Outback with regard to the brim but the crown is a C crown fedora type. If your looking for an authentic Indiana Jones type hat then don't buy this one. Even though it has the word ""Ford"" in the name it is not of the same style worn by Harrison Ford nor the same Sable color. I ordered the brown hat and its dark brown which is OK by me because I'm not trying to look like Indiana Jones. My hat has a feather which is not shown on the stock photo. It's small, not big like the previous reviewer stated and it's nothing like a pimp hat at all. If you don't like the feather then remove it...simple fix. The hat is coarse wool felt so if you want this hat as a dress hat don't buy it. Shell out the money for a finer fur felt for a dress hat instead. But if your just looking for an affordable hat to kick around with that's light weight, will keep the sun off your head or keep your head warm in the winter and looks better than a ball cap then buy this one. People watch too many movies and have preconceived notions about what a fedora should look like. They are trying to look like someone else by wearing a hat like this. Do your hat homework first and then buy a hat that's practical and right for you. Look like yourself not like Humphrey Bogart or Indiana Jones. I have a size 7 7/8 to size 8 head and the XXL fits perfect. Like the majority of the reviewers here say, overall this is a good hat and I will enjoy it.

I had to send it back because it came with a big feather sticking out of the ribbon. Online images show no feather. I'm not into the pimp look, so I returned it.

I received the hat today via FedEx, just in time for Christmas for my husband. I opened the box to check the hat and remove the packing slip. Beautiful hat! Love the look and the feather is nicely protected. I'm looking forward to watching my husband open his gift. I'm also going to show him the video you have on your site as to how to work with a crushable hat. His last one got abused and destroyed because it wasn't crushable.Thanks so much!

Just received. Hat quality is fine. Only disappointment is that the hat looks very ""western."" I didn't expect such a cowboy look from the product pictures. There is not one picture that even looks close to a western hat. Village Hat Shop and Jaxon need to put a much more realistic picture of what hat looks like from many angles and on several people. Bottom line- hat quality is good, but you do not receive the look of the website's pictures. (Please note pictures have been updated)

I recived my new hat tonight and it is everything I had hoped it would be. the color is a very nice black and it fits well. and is a very sharp looking hat. can't waiit to wear it out tomorrow and see how well it shades my head. will buy another one maybe in brown or grey. reminds me of the one my great grandfather wore back in the 30's

I absolutely love this hat! I was a little worried when ordering this hat because I thought it would look too big on my head, like so many others I've tried on. I was very suprised that the small actually fit, (usually small's are too big for my head) and it looked just right, size wise, on my head. I love how waterproof the hat is, sometimes I don't have enough hands available to carry an umbrella in the rain. (Such as when walking a couple of dogs). So the hat works fantastic for keeping the rain off my head. My fedora is very well made, being crushable, it is easier to pack for a trip and the price is inexpensive. Great buy!I do wish however, that the hat was offered in more than two colors. I have the black one, and love it, but I would absolutely buy a navy blue, and a gray one if they were available.

I love this hat. It fit like i a dream I've spent a lot of time in store's trying on hat after hat and not been as happy as I am with this one. The brim on this one is a little smaller then my other but like it. I will probably buy another one in brown. Iam a Detective and wear it to work with my suits. Get a lot of comments on the look of it. I always have like hat glad they are comming back in style.

I wanted an inexpensive hat to wear in the rain & weather and this was just the ticket. No frills as you would expect at the price but it is nice. Salespeople at the Old Sacramento store were pleasant & helpful. I'll be back.

I already had a Jaxon Ford until I ordered a summer hat and realized that my hat size was actually larger than my fedora. So I needed to get a new hat. Well I liked the Ford so much that rather than looking around for a new style I just ordered another Jaxon Ford. Wide brim, rain protection, good looking, affordable, what more could you ask for? Although I am completely satisfied with my hat's color, I would definitely suggest making this hat available in other colors.

went to the shop on 4th ave to get this hat. the people in the store were unbelievably rude. they practically laughed at me for buying such a cheap hat and ignored me to the point i couldn't purchase one! i'll never deal with this company again, and will intentionally shop at it's direct competitors.

I wanted a every day winter hat and saw this hat on line, they were out of stock in Sac; they brought it in at no extra charge plus discounted it for hat day. They understand true customer service, now a life time customer. Can not say about the hat or VHS.

I ordered this hat by mistake, it was my 1st hat & after I got it I had realized I got the Ford fedora instead of the C-Crown fedora. It was my mistake so I kept it, it is a very nice hat the front brim is hard to keep turned down. The sides are turned up a lil bit which is great & the back to. Great buy, color I got was black & it is very dark just like a black hat should be & the band is dark also. Goes great with casual wear or the classy dress up style.......

If I could rate them 10 stars I would. The Village Hat company understands customer service. I ordered the Ford Fedora. I live in Arizona they are in San Diego. It came in 2 days. Only problem was size. It was too big, which was my fault. I should have ordered the medium size. I called the customer service number and talked to Celi. She is awesome! I told her that I already shipped it back. she said no problem. I also told her that I was tall and thin and I thought the brim was too wide. I gave her the tracking number and she made not of it. She went on line and showed me 2 other choices. And she suggested the Fedora Crown. She was right! She made note of that and told me she would take care of it. 3 days later my new medium size hat arrived, no added shipping and it fits perfectly. Celi thanks so much for the great service. You deserve a raise. This is what customer service is all about folks. Get your hat at the village hat shop.

This is one tough looking hat. Got the black one and it is really BLACK. Really adds to the tough look. My hat was not turned up on the sides as some others have reported, but nice and flat with only the welt turned up slightly. As always, this hat is consistent with Jaxon quality. I recommend this hat to anyone looking for a larger brim fedora. Can't wait for cold weather.

This hat looked great online..looks more like a cowboy hat in hand..not quite what I was looking for but it is ok

This is the first hat i ever bought online that fits and it looks great

Great hat. bought the brown and it works well in the weather of Colorado. wears like iron. looks moderately western. only down side I'm a 7 1/4. mediums a bit too small and large a bit too big. I wish this hat came in Blaze orange so I could wear it Elk hunting.

The hat itself came only 4 days after I ordered it, and it's a very well made one. The lines are sharp, and it truly is crushable; it springs back into its original position with only a very small push. The brim, however, is a little curved on the sides, which is not quite shown in the picture here on the website, but it still looks very nice. I actually found the curve useful, mainly because I have somewhat larger ears, and the curvature prevented the brim from resting uncomfortably on my ears. Overall a wonderful hat.

Hat came quickly and was a better quality hat than expected.

This is a decent hat. However, the style is not what I expected. It looks different on my boyfriend's head than it does in the picture. It kind of looks like it was designed for an older person. Jennifer Cisowski

Was a little different than I expected with brim slightly upturned on the sides, but otherwise a nice fit, good materials. Handsome hat! The quality and price was very good. I'll be shopping here again.

new to the use of these kinds of hats....baseball types before.... sizing was large..but inserts did the job..other than that I like the looks and the feel...kind of exudes a feeling from the past whens hats were tops!!

It does give a bit more of a western / Indy look. I was hoping for more of a Crown heights (Jewish) feel, but not Hasid... This is a nice hat and a great price.

The actual product color black is much blacker than pictured. And the sides curl upward enough to give it almost a cowboy like shape. Other than that, it's a comfortable hat.

I from Russia. Has received this hat in 10 days. Quality excellent. Excellent service. It is very happy.

I'm from Singapore and got this hat recently from VHS.All in all a good quality hat and definitely water resistant as I drenched it with cold water the day I got it home. It was dry in a fairly short time.The only grouse is that the actual crown height is way lower than it's being represented in the photo here :(But I guess I can overlook this shortcoming (literally) and use this as a real outdoor hat. A word of advice: if you're looking for an Indy hat, go get Christy's Adventurer...which I did after I got this one! :-) Nevertheless, each a great hat in its own right!

Looks good, durable (got crushed the first week but bounced right back) at a great price. Received at promised time.

I searched the entire web for the 'perfect' Fedora at a reasonable price & THIS is IT! I LOVE this hat. It is high quality & style at a great price. I was also impressed by the return policy & customer service, as compared to other on-line shops. I felt they truly wanted me to be happy with my purchase, & I AM!

Great hat!! Shipping was as planned. Great service.

Was a nice hat , but didn't look like the pic. Wasn't what I expected. I gave it to a friend.

nice hat a little tight at first, just needed some time to break it in, looked good right out of the box, i have told my freinds.

This is an excellent hat. The wool construction keeps your head warm in the cold, the wide brim protects you from rain and sun alike, and the distinctive look is sure to attract attention. An excellent buy.

It's a great hat! Need I say more!

WELL CONSTRUCTED. WARM. GREAT FIT.

My husband is an OTR truck driver and has been hemming about this hat for awhile so I bought it for Christmas and he loves it. It came in a nice box and it looks very nice on him. Keeps his head warm and fit just right. He loves it. Thank you so much for making this gift giving so easy!

Hat very small, returned it and the hat isn't that great. I feel it was undersized. Second review, I think only good reviews are posted here.

WE LOVE THE HAT! IT'S BEAUTIFUL . I ORDERED IT FOR MY SON AND HE CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT IT HE WEARS IT ALL THE TIME IT FITS REALLY NICE AND ARE GOING TO ORDER ANOTHER ONE. THE WHITE ONE WITH BLACK RIBBON WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT ONE

wish I could rate it minus 20 stars. hat cheap too small and I had to pay for replacement that never came.

A conservative fedora appropriate for the Chicago banker who's vacationing at his Arizona ranch for a week; as well as acceptable haberdashery for the southwestern rancher who's traveled to Chicago to consult with his investment advisors at the Bankers Exchange. It will not scare the horses during an afternoon ride in the valley foothills; nor will it raise the eyebrows of the Union League Club cloakroom attendant in the city when she shelves it among the other businessmen's fedoras. It's a ""universal"" head-dressing for proper gentlemen who still like wearing stylish hats.

The hat is great, very light, and comfortable, I have received many complements, and for the price and quality you can not do better.

I purchased his hat for my 30yr old son. The hat fit properly and looks fabulous. This is one heck of a hat for the price. It also came in a very nice corrugated cardboard box that can be used for off-season storage. I will be ordering one for myself after the first of the year.

Love this Fedora as do the women in the office.Will be my Sunday hat as it fits well, is quite stylist and goes well with a suit.My first Jaxson,will be getting more in the future.

As a female, I truly enjoy a good fedora hat and this hat is no exception. It is stylish, flattering, and looks fabulous with my new trench. On days with inclement weather, I feel and look great. Will definitely order from Village Hat Shop again. The order was shipped quickly and the hat arrived in mint condition.

I am very pleased with the hat, as is my wife! I wear some kind of hat all the time, and I'm going to use this one as my really dressy hat.

I love this hat. So much so that I have now purchased two of them. Comfortable, affordable and stylish--it is perfect!! Thanks so much for great service and a speedy delivery!

A great hat for the money. Runs a bit bigger in the small than the Bailey's Zoot Fedora though but a great every day hat for inclement weather. I gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 star because it is not made in the USA. Bailey's Hats are so if you are finally interested in supporting American jobs having lost your own job, buy American made!

This is really a nice fedora. I bought it to wear to a 1940s party coming up in December and it will look really sharp with my suit. The only wish I have is that it came in a gray color as well as the brown and black. I bought the black and it will look fine with my gray suit but a gray fedora would have been just perfectt.

Bought it orginally for a Halloween costume, but such a great hat, couldn't wait to wear it all the time.

I enjoy the hat. I used it with my students for our annual Halloween party. I received many complements. It had a great feel and look. Thanks.

A hint of ""western"" without having to wear a ""cowboy"" hat, that is built on a nice conservative C-crown fedora. The extra length front and rear brims give good visor protection in a territory ""where the skies are not cloudy all day."" Harrison Ford, this ain't no conservative midwest Indiana hat.

great hat for the money

My son loved the hat. We recieved it in just a few days. Thanks

In one word, wonderful. This is a good looking and excellent hat. When I first received it I was a little worried because the upturned sides of the brim made me think this hat would make me look like a cowboy (NOT what I was going for) when I asked for some opinions I got: Indiana Jones (excellent), and, in the words of my aunt, a good looking movie star (awesome). I love the large size of the brim and hat. I haven't tested its water resistance but I'm sure it will be pretty good, like most things that come out of the Village Hat Shop

great hat...I love it...got lots of questions on where I got it when I wear it to work. Arrived very quickly. Very impressed with the service

I absolutely love this hat! I've gotten so many compliments from older gentlemen, most of whom remark that this hat reminds them of their youth when all men wore hats. Oh how I long for such days! What have we lost since then?Ladies compliment the hat too, saying that it's quite stylish (one even lamenting my married state, wishing she could find such a fashionable man, now THAT'S cause for endorsement!)It's a lovely, well-made hat, the only bit I don't like is that the ribbon is not actually tied into a bow. There are two pieces to the ribbon, the largest goes around most of the hat and has two ends both of which hide under the bow, which is a separate piece. When I put this hat on the first time, I actually busted the bits that hold the larger ribbon in place, destroying the illusion of a one-piece band around the hat. That's probably my fault, since this hat didn't come in the 2X size I probably should wear. I'm right on the edge between 1X and 2X. A pair of simple single stitches repaired the band and it's beautiful as new. I wear this hat every time I leave the house, at least until my next order from Village Hat Shop arrives!Speaking of Village Hat Shop their service has been very nice, and my hat arrived exactly when they said it would. They even reply to my emails and questions. Lovely hat, lovely shop.

I have several brown fedoras and this is a very nice hat! I have both Iconoclast as well as a similar hat from Australia and this Ford actually compares very nicely. It's softer and crushable... whatever that means :) I wore it out tonight and no one commented... That means they thought it was my Iconoclast or that expensive Australian hat. It's not lined but if you want lined spend a couple bucks more and get the wool Iconoclast... My 3rd favorite hat! If this really does pack and it water proof I'll have to stock up! I love Jaxon hats!Ed
