This is a review of the Stetson Seneca 4X Cowboy hat. I also talk about care and stretching of hats and a little bit about the cowboy and classical style in men’s wear. www.cavenders....
Actually the Seneca has a 3 1/2” Brim. I like the narrow brim which is why I love the more subtle conservative look of the Open Road series which has a 2 3/4" Bound Edge Brim. It’s not the 10 gallon hat style. However, the Seneca’s pinch front crown is a nice look if you want something other than the Cattlemen Crown.
Not a criticism, my friend, just an observation. We all have our subjective opinions and have to go with what we're comfortable with. But, I've had to get other people's opinions many times on how I looked wearing things. I tried on a Homburg once and my wife said, yuck. But, I tried on a Gus, which I always thought would look terrible on me, and she thought it looked amazing. I was genuinely shocked. Often we're our own worst critics. I seriously doubt you looked goofy. I'd be willing to bet, if polled, a dozen pretty ladies would have thought you looked like a million bucks. But, hey, the whole point of dressing well is to feel good about oneself and project the best person we can be. And, if you're more comfortable with another style, that's quite alright. Anyway, thank you so much for listening to my review and taking the time to comment.
That’s your hat
Also, you live in Mississippi and wear a felt hat during the summer months? I’ve been in Mississippi and I would be drenched. Brave man!

I ordered one and sent it back. Looked goofy on me with it's little brim and pinch front crown.
