This is a big hat, a great hat. It has a 6-inch brim–you want sun shade?! The crown is not so high-5 1/4 inches-making the hat less overwhelming (if you can say such a thing with a 6-inch brim). The hat has three vent eyelets and a stampede string (chincord). The “Gus” crown block is very distinctive. When you need/want to be outside, you’ll look forward to it because you will get to wear your 6-inch Gus. Color: Natural Palm-leaf. Sizes: 6 7/8 through 8.

Yes – that’s right. Your eyes are not deceiving you. You are viewing the first straw 200X hat that the Village Hat Shop has ever carried from Stetson. This is some of the finest Shantung straw we’ve seen. The cattleman crown and 4″ brim are about as classic an American shaped cowboy hat as you will likely come across. The hat is 100% American made and has a 4 1/4″ crown. Available in very limited supplies. Once it is sold out, it will be unavailable until next year.
Just a clarification folks: This hat only comes in the color natural (as pictured). For some reason they were received into our system as acorn, and the Village Hat Shop tags say acorn. Sorry, but acorn does not exist (not even sure what acorn would look like in straw). So when you look inside the hat and see the acorn label – ignore it. Thanks.
