STACY ADAMS Men's Crushable Wool Felt Snap Brim Fedora Hat for Outdoor, Travel & Casual Wear - Classic Style Dress Hat for Men

I was looking for a Navy blue or kaki colored fedora which would complament one or two of my suits. I ended up browsing for a couple of hours on Amazon and a couple of other sites, then decided to try out the Stacy Adams brand. I love fedoras and many of their variations, however higher quality hats tend to be quite expensive. I have also found that a higher price does not always mean a higher quality from certain companies (SCALA). This hat was a gamble, the pictures looked nice and the price was very alluring and I must say my gamble paid off. The hat is of above average quality for its price range.What I mean by this, is the fedora was only $53 after tax and it is the second best looking fedora I now own. The first being a custom made from a specialty store. I picked the Navy blue and although it looks a bit darker than the picture portrays, I was under the assumtion it would be very dark. The material is wool felt, nothing fancy but resliant and comfy. The hat retains its shape very well, though I admit I have only had it for a couple weeks. It survived its first sit on, the first day I had it. As advertised, I simply popped it back into shape and it looked like nothing had happened (other than a bit of readjusting with the feather and ribbon). The ribbon is considerably larger than I expected, this is a good thing. Most company's skimp out on the details with the ribbon and feather, Stacy Adams however, did not. The ribbon and feather are of both good quality and can be adjusted to whatever style you would like. Due to the above average amount of ribbon given, it can be folded tucked or pulled out in any manner you choose. Inside was also refreshingly well crafted. Many of my other 'cheap' fedora's have little or no effort put into the inside. On the inside there is a cushion which braces your head and a two tone stlyish interrior exists.A couple of reviews mention the Stacy Adams gold colored metal pin. Some review make it out to be brazen, large and gaudie. This was a touch worrysome for me, however I can happily state that the rumors are not actually true. Perhaps they simply did not like the style, but the pin just past 2 cms or 3/4 of an inch wide and only 1.5 cm or just past half an inch tall (at its furthest points) dimond shaped pin. Quite small and even then it is not an ugly logo so I hope I can reassure anyone who was distraught over that little detail.In summary, Stacy Adams has produced a well made fedora for an excellent price. It is not a high quality fedora, however considering its material, capablities; crushable and price, I think it would be highly unlikely to find a better deal. I intend to buy another of this same style in a diffrent color (most likely the white, grey or Kaki) and encourage anyone else who is looking for a decent fedora without breaking their wallet to search no more and pick one up.
