Pecos

Very well made

The materials, design, construction, and comfort are all excellent. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because, if you're a 7.25 or below, you will need to order fitting shims for a more secure fit. In this price range, Panama Jack (for example) provides shims for their fedoras. Fayettechill might consider doing the same.

Not at all what it shows in the photos. The photos show it having a flat brim. Exactly what I had been looking for so I was willing to pay expensive price tag. It actually looks nothing like the photos. It’s curved like a cowboy hat. What a waste of money

This hat stood the toughest test

I recently traveled to Africa and took this hat along. I was both deep in the jungle villages as well as through some cities with it. It was one of the hottest and most humid weeks of the year there in Western Africa. This hat was a champ. Looks great and protects from the elements. I particularly like the chin strap option for stability and also to hang it on my back so it was quickly accessible when I needed it. Huge thumbs up for this hat!
