I’m not a cowboy but I am a country boy up here in the great ole state of Wisconsin & I always wear my Stetson or resistol with a good ole pair of boots 😀
“Not a cowboy” but wear hats all the time, for every day life, they provide protection from the elements that no other hat does, find a size and shape that fits one’s face and anyone can pull them off!
I have The Seneca. I'm not a cowboy, live in Ohio,but I enjoy the western hat. Always have. I'm almost 50 and don't have time to worry about what people say or think about a piece of headwear.
Used to wear cowboy hates from my youth till Jr High School, then quit. Now I'm older and at the advice of my foreman at work to go back to wearing one. Foreman recently got skin cancer since our work is outside work, along with half my shop they have skin cancer also. So my hat are actually WORK hats and not for show like most are. Got a Shantung straw that I'm wearing now for summer and getting the Stetson Powder River for the Fall and Winter. Might as well buy a true functioning hat from Stetson that also looks classy.
I just started wearing my Akubra Kiandra out around town (mountains of northern Cali) I've never been made fun of although that was my biggest fear. So many compliments. I can't wait to get a Stetson next
I was on the Stetson waiting list for a few weeks and jumped on it when they let me know these were available. I still like my open road and boss of the plains. Powder River is a good compromise between dress and work. I did add a wider leather band.
Just bought the black stetson buffalo I love it got it at mcallen tx boot barn for 173$ with tax good price and good quality love it!!!!!!! Now planning to save up for a gray one😇
I've always wanted a Stetson hat. I bought this Powder River hat last fall as my first ever and absolutely love it. It is the most comfortable hat I've ever worn. The fit is amazing. I was so excited when I saw you did this video on it. Nicely done. I plan to get more of the buffalo line. It's so hot here this summer so I'm wearing a straw hat, but I'm anxiously waiting for cool weather to start wearing this hat again. Thanks for the video. 👍
Hey Wingman, good call on this hat. I've had it for quite a while now and its my favorite, even though I have several more expensive, or higher felt content hats, this one is my best all-rounder for daily wear. I get LOTS of compliments on it every time I go out. I appreciate your recommendation!
I'm proud to own not only one, neither two but three Stetson hats. Two of them are Open Road skyline models and a Stratoliner fedora. Very satisfied. Excuse if there are mistakes, I'm frenchspeaking guy's from Québec, Canada.
After watching this video I realized I wanted one of these hats ! I found one on ebay , and bought . It fits like a glove ! ( however when I got it , it was too hot to wear it ! ) If You have a smallish vehicle , be careful wearing it in it .
I got the powder river a few years ago as a sunday dress hat and a ravenger as a work hat. Im thinking of getting a daily use hat too. Maybe ill get another from the buffalo collection. Nice video.
55 Years ago on a Thursday night I would get my uniform and Stetson ready for Scouts .A damp tea towel on your Stetson and iron it very carefully makes her look like new. I ironed my shirt and scarf while mother gave directions .
I have ordered one of these in Mink, looking forward to sporting this one myself. Your great video only reinforces my decision on my next western hat, my 7th!
I think I need this hat! I have a few higher end stetsons but want a more rugged daily hat and this may be it. Too worried everytine I wear my 10x open road in silver belly
Personally went with the corral although second choice was the powder river. Have a custom rodeo king with a bound edge. Come summer though a good resistol straw hat is hard to beat. Keep cool and cowboy up!
I’ve never owned a cowboy hat, or even considered one as I’m not a cowboy. Not interested in being a cowboy poser, as I think a hat make a statement. After this, I’m reconsidering my point of view. These hats are stellar.
Your VIDEO is so fantastic about "Cowboy" Hat I love it so much...! I'm from Pakistan. can possible I buy same this hat. If you guide me how can buy. Thanks
Great job! I think you've been the most informative video so far that I've seen on RUclips on the Buffalo Collection from Stetson. I've owned a drifter for about 4 years now! Great quality for the price.
Have you seen the Ranchman hat by Tecovas? What do you think about it? Was thinking of purchasing it. It has an exclusive Tecovas crown, or so they say.
Question: I wear a 7 1/2 on a New Era 59Fifty Baseball Cap. Would I be a 7 1/2 with this particular style cowboy hat? (Looking to get my first one, but in Los Angeles there isn’t any place close by to me. So I need to get it online)
There are a lot of great straw hats with a ton of ventilation to keep the head cool. I wear a few Resistol and PROHATS also Atwood depends on the event.
Great review. Thanks for sharing. Question regarding heat retention. Would you say the powder river is a hot hat? Do you notice it is extra warm while wearing?
Yeah that's a good hat, cool color too - not too 'in ya face'. Having said that - I seem to be getting weirder the older I get, I'm currently wearing a gambler hat...
Hello. I saw in one of your videos you were shooting the browning cobra. I just got one. Was that Dean's Motor Lodge in Portage with the bucks hanging?
I have a similar hat that I have worn for 30 + years. You forgot the most important reason to lay the hat on the crown. It is like a horse shoe mounted to the wall. It keeps the luck in it.
Great detailed video! I have this and the apache in my online cart. After reading a lot of online reviews, some claim the Powder River says 100% wool inside. Is this true with yours?
Anything that doesn’t have a blend of beaver fur in it will be considered wool but that doesn’t change the characteristics of this hat buffalo fur is very water resistant and it wears very well.
I'm a fan ! i was looking for a nice hat myself but I can't find the one i want in my country because i live in the Netherlands... Yes we can buy some Stetson hats over here but its only European models, they are small and no traditional ones at all. The one I'm looking for to buy is the Stetson 11 Stageline (part of Stetson's John Wayne collection) and i can't even import it because of import restrictions from my stupid country. Sinds i was a little boy I loved Western movies and horses, I collected as many western movies and tv shows as I could and still am by the way. The hat you are wearing in this video also looks really great ! But whatever I do, and believe me i have turned the internet upside down still there is no way I can buy and import a real nice hat from the USA. I'm a 54 old fart (Dutch) from the Netherlands and stumbled on your channel because guess what ? I was trying to get my hands on it again, sigh..., and again no luck. So you see that's why i started with ' I'm a fan ! Liked and subscribed of course ! Greetings from The Netherlands. ( Excuse my English for it's not my native language) Oh and i will be stopping by on your channel of course, See ya !
As a fellow European (Danish) I might have some good news for you there is a company in Sweden called hepcat that sells Stetson Western hats, I just ordered the Corral in black, that might be worth a look
Goodlookin' hat. I like the idea of the Bison hair. I'll have to get one. Thank you for sharing ! Edit= I'm a Gus guy and both the Broken Bow and Seminal are now on my short list of hats to get !

I have a selection of Cowboy hats, but hardly wear them. I think I that I might wear them more after seeing your video. Thanks.
Me too!
Looks great. Also reasonably priced.

Good stuff my friend.
Got my Powder River hat yesterday it a little tight hopefully it will stretch a little bit other than that i love it
I’ve too bought their hats for decades! Straw and felt.
Good stuff brother. Thanks for watching.
Nice information about the Hat! Thank you for sharing! Saludos 😃👍
Good looking hat
After watching this video I realized I wanted one of these hats ! I found one on ebay , and bought . It fits like a glove ! ( however when I got it , it was too hot to wear it ! ) If You have a smallish vehicle , be careful wearing it in it .
After watching this I am probably going to buy this hat.
I’ve worn this hat for over 2 years so far. It’s a solid hat for the price.
Thanks, I got this hat in January and it has held up very well since then, its perfect for work and hunting.@@Wingman115
I have a the stone Drifter. It looks good and the quality is good, but it is hot to be working outside wearing it.
I got the powder river a few years ago as a sunday dress hat and a ravenger as a work hat. Im thinking of getting a daily use hat too. Maybe ill get another from the buffalo collection. Nice video.

Nice hat bud I love that color. Jimmy told me to tell you he loves it. Great now he wants one....😁
Good stuff my friend. Tell Jimmy I said Hi.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching.
I think I need this hat! I have a few higher end stetsons but want a more rugged daily hat and this may be it. Too worried everytine I wear my 10x open road in silver belly
This is my go to utility hat. Been holding up great.
I am completely diggin’ on that Broken bow but I can’t find it on the Stetson website.
I wanted that one, but I ended up with Whitmore. It looks similar to the Powder River- not sure what the difference is.
Personally went with the corral although second choice was the powder river. Have a custom rodeo king with a bound edge. Come summer though a good resistol straw hat is hard to beat. Keep cool and cowboy up!
👍🏻👊🏻
Great looking hat. Do you custom shape your hat or do you wear it straight out of the box with the shape it comes with?
@@alexramirez7906 It depends this one I left alone. Some of my hats require a little mojo tweaking to get the desired look.
I’ve never owned a cowboy hat, or even considered one as I’m not a cowboy. Not interested in being a cowboy poser, as I think a hat make a statement. After this, I’m reconsidering my point of view. These hats are stellar.
Thanks for watching Bob.
I’ve always wanted one but I have a shrunken head, no way I could pull it off! Looks great on your noggin though! 👍🏼
Thanks Steve.
Great video dude, love your playground, I could make some good fun there dude...
Thanks. It’s up around 6,000 elevation. If the big pine cones don’t get you the mountain lions will.
Your VIDEO is so fantastic about "Cowboy" Hat I love it so much...! I'm from Pakistan. can possible I buy same this hat. If you guide me how can buy. Thanks
Get over to the Lakeside Rodeo and check them hats out.
Was there last night my friend.
Great job! I think you've been the most informative video so far that I've seen on RUclips on the Buffalo Collection from Stetson. I've owned a drifter for about 4 years now! Great quality for the price.
Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.
That is one great looking hat
Why thank you sir.
Have you seen the Ranchman hat by Tecovas? What do you think about it? Was thinking of purchasing it. It has an exclusive Tecovas crown, or so they say.
295.00 is steep for a rabbit fur hat.

I got hats I wear everywhere.
How much ? Nice heart by the way I get so many but not that kind❤
Beautiful hat. What do you recommend for hat material for a summer hat? I’m assuming the buffalo hair is probably hot.
There are a lot of great straw hats with a ton of ventilation to keep the head cool. I wear a few Resistol and PROHATS also Atwood depends on the event.
How does that Buffalo felt hold up compared to fur, especially in the rain?
Doesn’t rain much out here in SoCal. Can’t really give a honest statement on that.
@@Wingman115 that’s fair. On the fence between this and boss of the plains.
I'm going to make this my 5th hat one day
I wear this hat the most out of all my hats.
Great review. Thanks for sharing. Question regarding heat retention. Would you say the powder river is a hot hat? Do you notice it is extra warm while wearing?
Pretty much the same as my other felt hats they can get warm but it is one of the most comfortable hats I own.
@@Wingman115 any idea if they are available as blanks to be cut and steam shaped?
@@BelieversOfTheOldWays All the ones I’ve seen were shaped.
Thanks again for sharing.
Yeah that's a good hat, cool color too - not too 'in ya face'. Having said that - I seem to be getting weirder the older I get, I'm currently wearing a gambler hat...
Good stuff my friend. Thanks for watching.
As far as I know, Stetson's Buffalo wool hats are pure Buffalo wool.
👍🏻👊🏻
Hello. I saw in one of your videos you were shooting the browning cobra. I just got one. Was that Dean's Motor Lodge in Portage with the bucks hanging?
Yes it was. My grandparents house was in the background.
@@Wingman115 I go every Nov. Who are your grandparents?
@@traceebudman4101 John Levesque. They passed in years ago.
I use a Wagga Wagga leather hat in the woods !
I love those hats.
Update on condition of the hat if you really did put it to good use?
@@Restless_Rebel71 Yes it’s holding up well. Now that I’m here in Texas it’s my fall winter hat. It’s a great all around hat.
does buffalo fur shrink bad when wet?
Will shrink a bit. When not in use I put a hat jack inside to hold its shape.
I have a similar hat that I have worn for 30 + years. You forgot the most important reason to lay the hat on the crown. It is like a horse shoe mounted to the wall. It keeps the luck in it.
👍🏻👊🏻

How does it hold up in the rain?
Don’t rain much here in San Diego. Can’t honestly say.
Now I have to go buy an apache 🫡

I don't think they make this hat anymore.
Check Boot Barn. They had them the last time I checked also the Amazon link in the info.
@@Wingman115 I just didn't see it on Stetson's website
