American hat company 5050 straw review

This is a review of the American hat company 50-50 straw hat and why it is my favorite.

[@DanBCooper]

Favorite hat hands down. Here in the South West that 5050 is a lifesaver 9 months out of the year, including now as we speak it’s still in the 90’s, and I’m wearing mine. I have you to thank btw for introducing me to that hat in one of your earlier videos 🤠👍🏼

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

It’s my pleasure I’m glad up love it

[@tomwellander8781]

I also recently got a 5050 and love it. I live in the Tucson area and have temps 100+. It’s a great hat and stylish too. I ordered mine from NRS because my local hat store didn’t have any in my size (7 3/4). Thanks for your videos!

[@725niko]

Just ordered mine from NRS in a 7 3/4 for my bigass head. Only hat I’ve found from American in my size I like lol. The rest are sold out of my size but I do like the 6000 Line. Lots of sweet two tones and venteds in that line

[@tfarris10]

How’d it fit? I wear a 7 3/4 round in my felt hats and been thinking about getting the 5050

[@CowboyCartel]

Thanks for the shout out buddy, glad you are liking the 5050. 👍🏼

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Yes sir life changing as you said brother.

JB Mauney wore a 5040 with a Minnick crease and a JB brim, when he finally rode Bushwhacker.

Great video review Lionel. 👍

Thanks

[@elcurandero44]

... perfect had for Rio Grande Valley Texas weather!

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Yes sir even perfect for Fort Worth Texas where I’m gonna live

[@yaddi3434]

I enjoy your videos. I just received my american hat company 50/50 straw today from the best hat store. It is PERFECT. I had to order online and have it shaped and shipped to me. I can't say enough good things. I decided on the 50/50 after watching your video and cowboy cartel. I got the UN crown and CHL brim and it looks amazing. I can't wait until warmer weather to wear it every day. I want to go to the best hat store in May when I'm in Ft Worth for the PBR world finals. Also pretty cool new feature not in my other two AHC hats is the 50/50 has Positive Times written in gold on the sweat band. Cowboy on.

straw hats in Western Texas are great, this area gets to 110+ during the summer.

Looks nice..Thanks..

american hats are absolutely dope man

[@nickssgunsandcamaro]

Hey Lionel, I always enjoy your videos. You said your moving to Texas? You should make a video telling us all about it. I think it would make for a great video. I live in Ohio, and I have never been out west, at least not yet, but of course I plan to. I think that Texas for me, and probably most of the people that watch your videos is like the number one place to want to visit, and or consider living there. I’d love to hear why your moving there, where you’ll be living, where you’ll be working, what you’ll be doing, etc.

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Thank you so much I really do appreciate your kind comments. I will definitely be making a video on my moving there and the reason why I am going. Thank you for the great suggestions as well. I definitely appreciate your support.

Thank you sir I really do love this hat

[@stoehr]

Great review. Hoping to get a AHC straw soon (the 5050 if it’s available in a 7.5). What’s the crown/brim shape you got on there?

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

The brim is just wide and relaxed and the crown is a wide cattleman. Can’t go wrong with it. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

[@stoehr]

@@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663 awesome. Thanks for the reply.

[@pristinebenally9353]

Do the two patches include when you order any straw hat ?

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Yes, they are most stores will send them to you with the hat or give them to you if you’re in person but just in case they don’t have it you can always call American hat company and they will provide it for you

[@williamcasaus8046]

I have a question. I imagine that the holes for ventilation also allow sun beams to shine through like lasers and sun burn you in those spots. Have you experienced anything like this or heard of it? Where would I find one of these hats to purchase online if I wanted one? Also I would like to know your opinion on the resistol quarter horse style straw hat? I seen one recently. Thanks a bunch, I enjoy your content.

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Great question. I have never experienced that myself but I’m sure it’s possible if your bald but I think that would be something that happens more with headwear that has perforated holes that are right up on your skin like a ball cap or having been a competitive cyclist a helmet after spending hours in the sun racing but this not seating directly on the top of your head will allow for even sunlight to come through so not so much like a laser but I think overall it does a great job at balancing keeping the sun off and allowing airflow through. I have never seen the Resistol quarter horse in person but I researched it and it looks like it would be a pretty hot hat and I have come to realize that if I’m going to wear a non-perforated straw hat, I rather just wear a light colored felt hat as I have noticed these hats do not provide any ventilation also, it is a really tall crown hat with a 4 inch brim witch very small so not much shade with certain shapes so it is personally not a hat I would recommend, but if it is something you like go for it but I think at the $199 you’re getting a much better quality hat with better features and that will last longer for the same price when buying American.

@@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663 Thanks, yeah and they do look much more stylish. Where would I find one online?

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

@@williamcasaus8046 really there is two places that would be easier to find them at one is the best hat store in Fort Worth and the other one is Jobe’s hat also in Ft Worth and you can actually call them because they get inventory in every day and just ask for your size.

[@iFrankie.]

How does this run? I’m a 7 1/4 do I need to go 7 1/8?

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

I’m a 7 1/4 too and it will be perfectly fine in your own size

[@11bravo79]

Does American offer long ovals in their straw hats?

[@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663]

Yes, sir, a majority of their hats are long oval.
