Stetson Stratoliner Special Edition Hemp Fedora

Comments about Stetson Stratoliner Special Edition Hemp Fedora:

This is a beautiful hat. It is fairly light (hemp is not as light as straw, but more flexible), ventilated, and comfortable. Unfortunately, it does not run true to size - it runs large. I bought a 7 3/4 size which is my normal size. I probably could have gone down to either a 7 5/8 or even 7 1/2. Del Monico Hatter has offered tape to help with the size issue, but I have chosen not to. The fit is loose, but not blowing off my head in the wind. I receive a lot of compliments on the hat. As I live in the Mojave Desert, the hat is practical. It goes with me to work as well as out to dinner and works well with either a sports coat and slacks or jeans and a t-shirt.

I started the straw hat season with my Stratoliner Milan but as the summer got hotter, it just wasn't cutting it. A nice hat but it doesn't breathe well. I decided to try the Hemp Stratoliner and I am glad I did. It's very breathable, lightweight and comfortable. It's easy to forget you are wearing it. The wider brim offers better sun protection and I think hemp is the best fiber, it is more comfortable than shantung, more pliable than a Panama and has a nice look and texture. Next season I plan on getting another in sage.

New to buying and wearing hats, I am of late required by Rx to keep the sun shaded from my face and head so I chose this Stetson to do the job. It is true that every day I go out several people comment on this hat, both men and women. I get the feeling most men would like to wear something like it but so far I am the only one around, it seems, who is not wearing a baseball type cap. This Stetson adds style and a little grace to casual outdoor clothing or light weight summer slacks and coat. I am very happy to own this hat.

These Stetson hemp fedora s are great. I have a Stratoliner Milan straw,and it does not breathe. These are durable,hold their color,are light weight and breathe! I have ordered a couple of them last year,and could not be happier. If I have a complaint,they do seem to be fixed a bit large but nothing that cannot be fixed.

Last summer I bought the Sage color hemp Stratoliner; I liked it so much I bought the Blue one too!! I guess I lean more toward function than fashion. As a summer hat, I give this hat very high marks for functionality! My fashionista friends tell me this is an awesome fashion hat as well.

I like the fact that this hat has a nice sweatband for a modern hat, and I can rework the hemp with steam to reblock the crown and reflange the brim to my liking. I like tall, straight crowns and this hat has enough crown to reblock to my liking. I'm a felt hat man, but the hemp hats are my favorite straws.
