OztralaOiled Leather Hat Australian Outback Aussie Western Cowboy Mens Womens Kids Black Brown WO HL11 US

Let me put the Kudos out there first. This is probably the only company I know that you can measure your head, ask for a specific size, and get a hat that fits. I have a small head, most hats fall on top of my ears, or they are child small and sit on top of my head instead of resting just over the ears. I do not have to stretch this hat to fit on my head nor do I need to pad it to keep it from falling on top of my ears. I highly recommed this hat if you are shoping for a quality leather hat that looks good.Would I recommend this company? Absolutely!Would I buy another hat from this company? Probably, especially now that I know what I am getting.Why the 4 start rating instead of 5 then? I am picky about my hats. That said, the images show a hat that rolls smoothly from the down turned front along the sides, with no "cowboy" side flair pointing to the sky and rolling smoothly to the down turned back. My hat has very obvious side flairs that make it look like a United States cowboy hat, not the Austrailia low brimmed hat I wanted. This bothers me greatly, so much that I almost gave it 3 stars and went back to my cloth hat. I saw the pictures from other hat owners and they do not have the rise I am talking about. If I get a chance I will take a picture of mine and post it.This next part is actually why I gave it the 4 star rating instead of 3, even though I am not happy with this part it is exactly as per the discription.I should have read the discription a little more. I thought that I read this hat has a "low" crown. 4" in the front of the hat stands off my head like an old style top hat. That is not the fault of this company though, that is my fault for mixing up the discription of this hat with another. I consider this a very high crown and I like a lower one. I also do not understand why the front is 4" high and the sides and back are 3 1/2" high. I pulled down the inside front of the hat a 1/2" and it looks a lot better, in my opinion at least. I know someone who has a sewing machine that can stitch through thicker leather than this hat, and the talent to sew as well. I will have them drop the front of the crown to between 3" - 3 1/2".Now if I can only figure out how to get rid of the "cowboy" sides, I would love this hat enough for a 6 star rating.Okay, I’m back to add more to the review. I have had the hat for 6 months now and I wear it everyday. Record breaking heat across the U.S.! This hat does get hot, outside temperature of the hat was 139 degrees Fahrenheit (59.4 Celsius) that was from a walk from the car with AC on and hat off to the temperature scanner inside the front door where I work. Glad I was able to take the hat off and rescan my 98 degree (36.6) head. The 3 holes on each side help a lot, my head does not feel like it is on fire like one would imagine. So my brain is not cooking. That said it does not keep me from sweating under it, especially if there is no breeze. The sweat band works great for catching the sweat and keeping it out of my face and eyes. The brim keeps me from getting burned. Imagine Hollywood vampire pale skin that burns in 15 minutes of sunlight. (Not kidding about that I burn in 15 minutes and blister in less than an hour.) the hat does stretch in the heat a little and with the sweat it will slide down my head and touch my ears, not rest on them, just touch them. I have worn this hat through all weather and still love it. I gave it another coat of mink oil to keep the leather healthy and waterproof. It has lost the U.S. cowboy turn on the tips I talked about earlier. I still might lower the front to give it a lower appearance. I talked to my friends and none of them seem to notice a difference.I upped it to 5 stars, it has flaws but the hat doesn’t cook me in the summer, I would definitely rather wear it than burn without it. I still have my cloth hat if I wanted a cooler one but I haven’t really felt the need to switch back. (Maybe if I ever mow my lawn that looks like a jungle right now.) The hat does keep its shape even when smashed or rolled. The only way I could be happier with this hat would be if it came in a round brimmed fedora style. (And a lower crown) Still highly recommend it, my dad is getting one for his birthday.

This hat makes me look good 👍

Hold up to water and rain; it's great size. Perfect gift.

They are great looking, quality and very quick delivery

I love this hat. It’s a comfortable fit, if you’re bald like me you know that matters. Great materials. Keeps its shape, and it’s moderately priced. All-in-all great buy!

The hat looks great, fits great, and is comfortable! I initially ordered black. After wearing it a couple days, I decided I wanted the dark-brown hat. Before I could return/exchange it, my buddy offered me cash for the black hat. The fit was exactly as described. I'd also add that the description is correct that over time the hat will adjust to your size as you wear it.I'm generally not a fan of decorative pieces on hats, however the metal piece on the side of the hat is not very noticeable, and looks good in person.

Great fix an original

I'm not one to be giving out 5 stars, buy this hat is awesome, great quality of leather and heavily stitched, great fit as specified
