One of the best hat videos I've seen in a while. Kudos. You lay out all the subtle differences between western style hats and classic fedoras and bring us up to speed on some modern examples...without sounding too much like a commercial. Great video. Thank you!

[@KTGHATS]

thx for the nice compliments! I noticed folks are very interested in westerns and western related hats, I’ll try to do more videos like this, describing hats in the showcase, their differences..

[@cmaster0368]

Yeah, this is a fertile field for sure. Epic writer Elmore Leonard spec'd his hero Raylan Givens to wear a "Dallas Businessman's Special' aka Stetson Open Road. Of course, the TV Raylan in 'Justified' wore a much different, more western style pure cowboy hat. But in the final episode, Raylan wears a very cool olive-colored fedora made by Nick Fouquet. I just had Art Fawcett make me a nice 3" brim custom version of that hat in pure beaver and it's a very cool looking lid!

i have a western felt hat thats been used in multiple civil war reenactments that i wear every day and i love it

[@mitchelkane2641]

A leather Stetson was my first hat almost 20 years ago. I still wear it on every other day basis. But I've been going through a wool crushable about every 3 years for the last ten.I wear a hat everyday and I can tell you that the wool crushables are some of the best fitting hats on the market. I really like the black Bozeman hat.

[@KTGHATS]

Tons of those coming in now, will be unpacking and getting the out in a week

[@Tootnscoot]

The hat should match the personality of the individual and the job being done. A western hat looks goofy in city settings ( outside the west) and a fedora looks silly on a ranch. You can wear a hat for whatever reason you want but it doesn't mean it's a good reason or that you won't look goofy. I'm a fan of crushable hats, they fit my lifestyle and keep my head warm. I wear them in cool weather. In warm weather it's a ball cap unless I'm outside and I go for straw hats. I live in Tennessee so in summer when we have 5000% humidity and temps that change from 70 to 105 in 20 minutes and back a felt hat isn't practical

[@WillieVET]

Great hat selections

[@MyRackley]

The first one is very much like the R M Williams Akubra Cattleman hat (the latter with vents on the side, which I think would be needed in the Outback).

[@j25369]

My favorite hat style that reaches into the old west in the Montana Peak.

[@alanmoberly64]

Not the hat worn by the park service. While technically a Montana Peak it looks like crap in my opinion.

[@HooDRidEWhiteY]

I've heard that more often referred to as a Montana "slope" if you're talking about something that looks like a Gus? The names may be regional.

Hey Kevin, great video again! I really like my traveler hat but can you please tell me a „secret“ how to keep my ears warm on cold or windy days? Currently I wear a fleece ski hat on cold days but it looks ugly. I am not sure if I look like a fool if I wear ear bags or so. I’d like to buy a thick crossover hat for winter if I had a solution against cold ears. Best regards from Germany Thomas

[@KTGHATS]

There are caps with internal earflaps on our site,

[@bricks9082]

Nice shirt.

[@DreJester]

When you talk about the durability if the western style hats you give me a lot more confidence in my Stetson but I don't know that I'll ever try and abuse it unnecessarily. I really do feel better about how my hat should last now. Thank you.

[@KTGHATS]

Stetson, like all hat brands, have had their ups and downs,but their western hats have consistently been strong as nails for decades, with few exceptions..

[@lewisward4359]

"So, going how is a long day." ---Kevin You must live in the far reaches of Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, or Staten Island! So you're old enough to remember the western hat craze of chelate 60's and early 70's! I recall hats that were hewed encrusted going for $10K in the mid-60's in the Lustig's (?) cowboy wear catalog. thought they were for the brash tasteless oil barons.

[@KTGHATS]

In the late 70s too,after the film,Urban Cowboy was released, my dad had a western wear shop in Queens, I worked there weekends and summers since i was young, westerns were HUGE in NYC then..

[@lewisward4359]

[@Al_lan]

Well done, Kevin. This video is definitely one of your top ten! As spring time arrives I’d be interested in a review of straw hats if JJ carries them. Thanks!

Al Rau around end of April,to May, the whole shop switches over to straws,panamas, cotton and linen caps,etc. we have a whole other summer collection, www.jjhatcenter around May 1st we start getting them in..I will make a video usually when they arrive.

[@RocketmanRockyMatrix]

How do you know what is the right size? A little tight or a little loose?

[@KTGHATS]

Everyone likes it a little different. Generally u want it snug,not tight. Usually a hat shouldn’t be so large that it’s bashing into your ears, it should sit close to the ears, either super close,almost touching your ears, or maybe a pinkies width away from it. Try on a size, if it’s too small, go larger.. if u are between sizes..always go larger, and u can tighten it up with padding. Never buy a hat too small and expect it to stretch.

[@steveegbert7429]

I have a Stetson Gallatin crushable that was buried under my camping gear for several months and got bent out of shape. It has a hemmed brim that has a couple kinks and feels like there is some kind of stiffener in the hem, not like wire but maybe plastic? Can I try steam to get it back in shape? Thanks, and I enjoy your informative videos.

[@KTGHATS]

Steve Egbert no, there’s nothing in the brim of those Galatins.. but when crushable Lite felt gets THAT out of shape, it is very stubborn, hard to fix, u need to keep trying, use steam, soften it as much as u can w steam, them use weights or something, try to put heavy objects on it, or whatever u can do to hold it in shape while it dries..tie it w string, use heavy weights, or whatever u can..or just bend it the opposite way and hold it still while it dries..it’ll be tough, that felt is meant to hold shape, so whatever shape it’s in, she wants to hold it...that’s the crushable thing. If u are in NYC ever, I can do it free.. 😉 good luck!

[@hinchmeister]

Hi, Kevin. For folks considering BEAVER hats, how does the Stetson High Line in this video compare to the Stetson Temple Special Edition in 100% BEAVER (not the normal one in rabbit fur) in terms of rain wear, brim sturdiness, felt thickness, durability, looks, etc. ?

[@KTGHATS]

Sorry we dont sell it so i never saw that temple but i can say it is not great as a rain hat w that raw edge, thinner dress felt,long brim. The high line is very thick,welted edge..better performance

[@hinchmeister]

Sorry, Kevin. I should've clarified. I saw it on the JJ Hat Center web site. It didn't indicate it was an online-only item, so I expected you guys had it in stock in the store. It is listed on the JJ Hat Center site as "THE TEMPLE SPECIAL EDITION" name. A keyword search on Temple will reveal it as well. From one of your newer videos, I knew the rabbit-fur Temple was no good for rain, but I was hoping the BEAVER Temple might be on par with the High Line due to then both being over the $300 price point. You've pretty much sold me on the High Line, but I wanted to evaluate that Temple SE Beaver before leaping.

[@dkstott29]

The Stetson Roadster is another great crossover style hat. It's very similar to the Stetson Whippet but with a leather hatband. 👍

[@KTGHATS]

It’s nice felt too, feel thick,soft..it’s a well designed hat. There are some minor differences between that and the Whippet though, mostly the crown shape, instead of a standard teardrop, they got a little experimental and used a “chicken foot crease”,AKA “three finger crease” it’s supposed to look like it was shaped by hand,using three fingers spread out like an eagles talon, I personally think it’s an amazing looking crease, although I’ve had one or two people ask me to change it to a standard teardrop, I think it’s cool.

[@patharrell1018]

I love the Roadster but I'm reshaping mine because the top center seems to rest directly on my head. I'm trying to 'dome' the very center without stretching the felt or getting the whole shape out of whack.

I noticed the image under the hat for the Stetson Pawnee Chocolate from your previous video is different than the Black color from this video. Why is that? Were the chocolate ones made earlier and they just change up the design for the gun club?

[@KTGHATS]

I'm sorry I'm not sure what image u meant.. but Pawnee is discontinued, nobody has any left either.. there are similar models now, lots.. If u want to rephrase your question,I'm not sure what image u are referring to. But yeah, Pawnee is now defunct

[@KTGHATS]

There are no Pawnees in this video btw

[@AlgosExplained]

@@KTGHATS I was referring to the image under the crown. At 18:35 you show a Stetson Pawnee and as you mention it's part of the gun club you show us the inside and it has the picture of bird with the words, "The Gun Club", but if you go to the Stetson website and search Pawnee, a chocolate colored one comes up with a picture of a man caring for his horse inside the hat. I personally like the birds image better than the man and horse and thought it was interesting how it differed. But now that I know it's discontinued, I can't be picky about what's inside, since I do love the way the hat looks overall.

Not really.. straw is for sun, felt is for rain ,snow but not summer. U can try a heavy palm straw from Mexico, Stetson makes those..they're ok when wet.

(for instance, if it comes on at the 2 minutes & 30 second mark,write “2:30”) let me know, there are a lot of hats in that video Tell me what number the counter is at,when the hat is being shown.. I’m in the back room showing sale hats, which are predominantly discontinued models and colors...odds and ends... but let me know, I know that video, I’m wearing a red t shirt,right?.. lotta hats, tell me which one, if we don’t sell it anymore, we may have something just like it..

[@timothywickberg4487]

It was the very first hat you picked up, it was grey I think it had a stingy brim it was a silk finish beaver fur hat, I watched the video a couple of times I do not think you mentioned the manufacturer of the hat. I was curious the size and price of that hat as well as the brown stingy brim fedora by magill that you briefly featured when you were talking about silk finish fur hats.

[@timothywickberg4487]

The first hat appears 13 seconds in and the second hat appears at 2:42 in. I talked to you on Monday and bought a lite felt fedora in cognac color from that video, I am stoked to get that hat.

[@stevecollins5917]

I know the feeling Timothy 😆

[@KTGHATS]

Ok, those are the same hats, in two colors, u have a good eye. They are old, and custom made, unavailable anymore.. they are both still on the sale rack because they are huge, size 62 (7 3/4 or XXL ) they are Biltmore stingy brims, from about 7-8 years ago,back when Biltmore was in Canada,before they were bought out and moved to the US. These have silk,beaver finishes,cognac/gold and silver..with bound edges, we can’t get those anymore. the only way would be to make it completely custom. And that would run a boatload of money,like $450-500. I could find u small brim hats that are simpler,without all the custom features..(the custom colors and silky texture) but those?.. we use to sell them in 5 colors and with a pork pie crown too..now there are those two left,because they’re so huge. Anything on that wall is a one of a kind ,usually..and half price..

Hi Kevin. A question that is dat from this video, but still want to ask. You know Signes from Spain. I saw a model (Pico. Check their site) with a 7,5 cm brim. This model is a typical Bogart style hat. So what I want to know is whether it is possible to flatten its brim just like a Gambler/Pork Pie. And perhaps the crown also like a porkpie. What you think. Because I heard that the quality of the hat is not like a Borsalino: stoffering I think. Thanks my friend

[@KTGHATS]

hetiszielig I don not sell that particular model, but similar ones..from Signes too..their stuff is unreal, they feel like $300-350 hats but they are around $200, ours are all custom,and yes..that’s fur felt, and good quality, so I can shape it any way u want, any pork pie u want,sure..I do this all the time,teardrops, PorkPie..I think most of the Signes stuff has a shape that can take a good pork pie or telescopic crown,the felt is thick,and high quality..but we carry a few unique things that we give our own names to..Esteban ,Fabrizio, Gramercy,a few more.. www.jjhatcenter.com

The route 66 by stetson has a cattleman crease but a larger brim, and its crushable.

[@phraktl]

"Floppy beaver".. Hahahaha!

[@dkstott29]

Does that Outback come in Grey? Is Stetson Sovereign a model or level of quality of the wool?

[@KTGHATS]

Sovereign is a quality,a series. It's not wool though, it's rabbit fur.... The outback comes in tan or black only

[@johnhoward7298]

I like that " gun club " hat ! How much are they?

[@KTGHATS]

$235 but they don’t arrive until September, very few left right now www.jjhatcenter.com/products/the-stetson-dune

[@johnhoward7298]

@@KTGHATS Thanks for responding ! I'm not sure I can wear the 60 cm ( how do I measure for it - what is 60cm in " ? ) That stetson out back style hat You showed after that gun club hat is a great looker too .. how much $$ is it ?0

[@riotbob]

I wonder if you could take an "open road" and put a 4" telescope crown on it?.....

[@KTGHATS]

U can telescope it, I’m not sure of how high though

[@KTGHATS]

U can telescope pretty much anything, no guarantee you’ll like it though, typical modifications is a teardrop, very common.but u can give it a tele.that’s a shallow hat though, u can’t get too high...

[@calld2serve]

Can a traditional resistol cowboy hat be teshaped to an outback style hat (akubra) shaped kind of like the second hat you showed the dune

[@KTGHATS]

calld2serve yes but it’ll look wider, I’ve done it for folks who won’t wear westerns,the brims tend to be wider, but it works.

[@Webb63]

[@crisyorke1328]

Stetson sells a 1000x Diamente or whatever for 5K. Diamonds and 14k gold

[@KTGHATS]

Cris Yorke yeah we used to sell the 100x and the 500x. El Patron,it was called at the time, they’d gone out of style,nobody asks for them in nyc anymore,the occasional drug lord or Cartel member might ask for one of those, otherwise, who the hell can afford that?

[@crisyorke1328]

KEVIN from JJ HAT CENTER 🎸HATS & GUITARS ! Haha true! I’ve got 2 $1,000 hats and some other borsalino, Stetson, Laulhere, Scala, Ricardo, Tracy Watts, etc hat brands, so perhaps a mini drug lord? LOL. Well, El chapo was caught so one less customer. LOL. Frankly, these types of hats are similar to top quality beaver felt, just that there are precious embellishments to jack up the price. I’ve heard $25,000 monticristi panama hats from Brent Black and I was thinking that’s insane price! I’ve heard they even have $50,000 to $100,000 monticristi hat made from straw. That’s just simply obscene.

[@dannywilliams3516]

Slow Down Kevin I think you're getting a little too familiar with them hats. Lol.

[@haribballsack6133]

Jesus Christ died for you so live for him

[@MrShelly53]

wish you modeled the hats or had a guy wear them to see how they look on someone

[@sunjani1394]

Jual di indonesia ya, orang indonesia pengen produk dari usa lo...

[@JohnnyWrongo-b9l]

Personally I find the cowboy hat to be ostentatious outside its natural environment. I stuck with the outback styles when working in the north. The trees present problems for big ol cowboy hats. Out backs are made for abuse. My canvas outbacks were perfect for trail riding with no trails but look like shit in the city.

[@blondemommyvomit]

Aber beklecker nicht das sofa, Sofa.

[@KTGHATS]

🎃arf!

[@teakey]

Drug lords need hats too. 😅

[@KTGHATS]

I've got Nothing against drug lords, they tend to dress in all white a lot, ..white suit, Panama.. I think drug lords should dress up in full clown makeup, big,red nose, giant shoes..like Stephen King's"It" To me,that's much more intimidating than the white suit.
