Unboxing and Reviewing the Stetson Sturgis Crushable Wool Felt Outdoor Hat
In this video, the ol’ History Nerd unboxes and reviews the Stetson Sturgis Crushable Wool Felt Outdoor Hat, which retails for $125…and is grossly overpriced at that amount. We take a look at the features of the hat, compare it to the Stetson Bozeman Crushable Outdoor Hat, and discover that right out of the box, the sweatband is coming apart, which seems to be a common issue with the Sturgis. You’ll get a good dose of our traditional humor along with some outrage at the poor quality control of Stetson.

    I retired from a Battalion who's linage was Cavalry. My Unit of course didn't wear a Stetson Cavalry hat but I have often seen Soldiers who did and wanted so much to wear one. I'm retired now I don't want to wear the Cavalry Stetson, I'm wondering what hat would look nice on a woman. I don't own horses anymore I'm not a farmer, but I would like a nice cowgirl hat with no more than a 4 in crown and no more than 4 inch brim. I'd like one with a neck tie strap to keep my hat on in the windy weather.

      First of all, many thanks for your service. The nicer Stetson cowboy…er, cowgirl, hats are not going to have the chin cord. I made a video about the Stetson Seneca, which an affordable but high quality hat with roughly the same dimensions you mentioned. Take a look at that video, and see if it’s what you had in mind.

    I’ve had an open road for about ten years, it’s my favorite hat, I wear all the time. I’d like to purchase a newer one in a different color but the prices have gone sky high and I just can’t bring my self to get it. I think the retail for thé 6 X is $360, basically double what I paid in 2015. I just can’t.

    I'm sorry that this hat was such a disappointment. I happen to like wool crushable hats as they seem to fit me better and are more comfortable, for me. I like that Bozeman, but not $12o worth! Make sure to let us know how Stetson treats you in returning this hat.

    • @historynerdsmancave7567
      @historynerdsmancave7567 11 дней назад

      I think the price of entry for ALL hats have gone up considering the Sturgis and the Bozeman retailed for $99 not too long ago, and now both are $125. I also think quality has declined. I've mentioned on my channel that the X-scale of rating hats is completely arbitrary, each company sets its own, and it is more of a marketing tool than a true definer of quality since there is no uniformity, in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for this interesting and understandably discombobulating assessment of theSturgis. You did help me to understand that the Sturgis and the Bozeman are basically exactly the same. (I have actually lived in both towns, and there is a huge difference!) I think you could start assessing other major hat brands. Maybe Stetson isn’t all that? What if I were to send you a hat made by say Atwood or Cody James? I would be interested to see what you think of their quality. Just a thought. Meanwhile, it is good to see you back in the man cave, sir!

    As usual, nice review. I agree, Stetson should have better quality control. The hat does look good. That is my favorite crown. It is usually hard to find. Funny thing is. I bought a hat on ebay several years back and the guy also sent a cheap crushable wool hat. I have worn that cheap wool hat ever since. It looks like Indian Jones, and everyone makes a comment about it. I have worn it out and need another one. I was hoping this might be it. I guess not.

    Good to see you back ! Its been a while. Like you I have a lot of hats and I am pretty much good now on hats. My hats are mostly Stetson, some Australian brands and a few from Bass Pro Shops. I do have a couple of crushable hats which I use for yard work, errands , and on occasion trips to the range. They are nice to have around if you are doing something that could otherwise ruin a nice hat like an Open Road . That Stetson is a nice looking hat. The Crushable hats I have are the Western Style felt from Bass Pro, their Redhead line. For the money $40.00 its a really nice hat. Looks more like a cross between a Fedora and an Outback hat though than Western. Crushable hats are useful though and they are definitely a cold weather hat. Great Review as always.

      @@historynerdsmancave7567You’re welcome. Too bad about the hat!I too had an issue once with Stetson. I ordered an Open Road 6x in Fawn which is actually a color. I had to look it up,a light yellowish tan color according to Google. What I got was a hat that someone somehow made and isn’t in their catalog. It was in fact an Open Road and it was in Fawn. The hat however was a Royal Deluxe, I have a few in different colors and it was definitely a Royal Deluxe . It was softer and not stiff like the 6X . The thing is they don’t make a Royal Deluxe in Fawn. Just the 6x. The hat did have the interior lining of the 6x though.Either an employee was having fun screwing around on the factory floor or was drinking on the job! The hat also had some really faint blue powder on the crown. I was able to get it off though. I let them know about it and they were at a loss as to how that could happen. I ended up keeping the hat and they gave me a really good discount on a Cowboy hat ! So in the end it worked out ok. Hopefully they will work something out as well. Good luck!

    This was a very informative video. Are you in contact or personally know anything about the Boss of the Plains series made for the Death Valley 49ers?

    I bought three different hats online myself for less than 50 dollars, but of course not from a high ranking brand name like Stetson. But since I hate to wear an umbrella when it rains or drizzles, I wanted something "special". By special I mean one of those hats as worn either by Harrison Ford (Fedora) or Clint Eastwood (in "Unforgiven", a Stetson). So I looked around and finally found them, although under funny names such as simply "Indiana Jones Raiders Hat" or "Temple Poet Fedora", and again "Unforgiven Hat". While the "Temple Poet" Hat is by far of better wool quality than its counterpart (the "Raiders" hat) which is rather floppy, the "Unforgiven" Stetson is of a much better quality altogether. Both the "Temple" Fedora and the "Unforgiven" Stetson have the leather sweat band inside and are very comfortable to wear, and both come with a Satin fixture inside, but only the "Temple" Fedora has it imprinted with a World Map (probably marking Indiana Jones' travels). The floppy "Raiders" Fedora is not terrible but not very good either, since as I said both the brims and the edges tend to droop far too much, and since they are made out of much lighter wool, tend to remain like that. All in all I cannot complain for having spent around 140 dollars for all three, but the floppy Fedora can only be worn in the mid seasons and not in Winter, and not even under the rain. The other two have shown their excellent qualities both under harsh rainy days and even under Winter snow, always drying fast (hence water repellent) and always keeping perfectly in shape. All three came though highly well packaged, but not through Amazon, rather from these bargain stores that were offering them at the time. They were appropriately boxed, had a sturdy cardboard ring inside to keep them in shape and were sealed in a plastic bag for extra protection. I have worn them often and for that price I can really not complain. Funny to say, but when you stated that you wouldn't spend over a hundred dollars for a Stetson hat, having had it for less anyway, I thought "clever guy" he's in a league with people like me who know how to buy their stuff wisely, and indeed, I believe that you too are satisfied with your choice. In my view quality does not have to always be pricey and can be found in many other places. Besides, they might not bear the same brand name, but wanna bet? They are probably made by the same maker, only that one comes with the luxurious brand name stamped on it, or even with a label carrying it, while the other is just sold with a divergent or even, as in my case, very funny distinctive name. The quality though is very often the same.

    Does the Silverbelly colorway vary from the Open Road 6X to the Open Road Royal Deluxe? Online, I'm seeing are more creamy, beige color on the 6X and the typical "silver" on the Royal Deluxe. Thanks for the video info, sir.

      The silverbelly color is usually pretty consistent because lots of law enforcement agencies use silverbelly Stetsons are part of their official uniforms, especially the 6X. What you may be noticing is differences in lighting and quality of various photos rather than differences in the hat colors? A photo with better lighting is going to show a lighter color hat, while a photo with poor or bad lighting will make the same hat appear to be darker. Or at least that's what I pulled outta my butt to try to answer your question, Bubba. Thanks for watching.

    Is the color the same as the Powder River?

      Pretty dang close, Bubba, pretty dang close. The Powder River might be a hair of a shade lighter…but what the hell do I know? Thanks for watching.

    What website do you order your hats from?

    • @historynerdsmancave7567
      @historynerdsmancave7567 Месяц назад

      Different sites depending upon where I can find the best price, but I buy a lot of them directly from the Stetson website. I usually say where I ordered the hat at some point in my videos.

    LOL, I’m glad you mentioned the C&K decanter, because I saw it last weekend when I was visiting and texted friends like ‘what the holy ever loving hell???’ when I saw what they wanted for it (EMPTY!!) I inherited dozens and dozens of vintage decanters from my parents (a good number unopened) and know what they sell for because I inventoried them. I was gobsmacked at the prices in that store.
