The Ashley is my third Stetson. I have the Yancy and Kelso. I live in the coastal range above Santa Barbara by about 90 minutes. I live in an oak forest and depend on the firewood for heat. My water comes from a well. So! Good times or challenging times (aren’t they really the same?) I depend on rugged clothing to protect myself as I scramble through the brush, up hill and down dale. The Stetson Ashley Crushable Outback has surprised me with its functionality and comfort. I’m putting my Ashley to the test for my outdoor work and off-hill excursions. So far so good! My only regret? That such a nice hat is bound to get beat up with the places I take it. Hey! At least I’m going in Stetson-Style!

The hat is great. I love the material & the ear flap. This hat has everything I’ve been looking for. However it was kind of loose I tried it on. So make sure you either go a size down. Or have some hat tabs handy.

Very cute- Medium was just barley right I could have gone to a small, but with the ear flaps it’s snug and so cute and has amazing energy, wool is the way to go!

Do ear flaps take much room
