    I got this hat at the Resistol outlet in Garland in black. It was marked at $40 because it actually has a Blackhawk hat band. Best overall hat I own, and I get so many compliments from it.

    I found your channel because I have looked at hats and the internet algorithm thought I was see what you are up to. Glad it did. I had a wool felt hat similar to the Bozeman style only in black (cheap brand) for a couple of years. It wore through where my two fingers and thumb grasped it to take it off. Thin felt I guess. So I am looking for a MUCH better hat. I will go check out the reviews you did on the better Stetson hats. Thank you for the reviews.

      Amazon prices actually fluctuate quite widely depending upon the time of day and the day of the week you check them. It's kind of like airplane tickets. Just keep checking, and you'll probably stumble upon a sale like I did. The company I bought it from through Amazon - backcountrydotcom - currently has the Bozeman listed for $99.95.

      Stetsons are hard to find in stores unless you live in the largest metropolitan areas. I mail order all of mine but have noticed that even those are getting harder and harder to obtain. The demand for Stetson hats is growing rapidly among young hipster types, which makes it harder for old cusses like me to buy them.

    Do you have any experience with akubra hats? For the last few months, I have kept thinking about pulling the trigger on an akubra coober pedy or cattleman but keep talking myself out of it lol.

    • @historynerdsmancave7567

      I am strictly Stetson loyal, so Akubras are out of my knowledge zone. My late father was born in Texas during the Great Depression and wore only Stetson hats during his life. If they’re good enough for Dad, they’re good enough for me. Sorry I can’t be helpful.

    • @drjjpak
      @drjjpak Год назад

      I've worn Akubras for years. The first one bought in 1995 stood up to daily use for over a decade. The two replacements since then have been far less resilient, losing their stiffness and becoming floppy all too soon. Last couple years I switched to Stetson. I would consider another Akubra only if I could find a higher quality one like my original. They don't describe the thickness or quality of each hat they make, but there must be a gradient. Or maybe they're all just cheaper lately.

  • @mrlozano
    @mrlozano Год назад +3

    Tremendous. I just ordered this hat in mushroom haha! I wear western snap shirts w/ jeans and boots on the daily and usually with the typical ball cap/trucker cap. Sometimes I want to wear something different but I've never owned a cowboy hat and don't really have the gumption to go full on Stetson Skyline 6x or anything like that; so this Bozeman seems to be the happy little middle ground that still manages to be evocative of the old west gunslinger era, without being a full blown cowboy hat. Can't wait to receive this hat and start wearing it immediately! It will hopefully top off my daily ensemble quite nicely. Duly noted regarding its wearability depending on the time of year. Thanks for the review!

      I'm certain others will disagree, but I honestly do not believe there is enough demand for hats in general, and especially ones like the Bozeman, to make it cost effective or worthwhile to counterfeit them. Many of the third party vendors selling hats on Amazon are reputable hat shops that are trying to make a buck by selling where the online shoppers go.

    I think that advertising word-salad about the hat was meant to say it was a hat for people who worked outdoors or lived the western lifestyle. But also for people who lived in town and perhaps only were outdoors on hiking or camping trips. Trying to say you don't have to be a farmer or rancher to wear this hat. At least that was my take when hearing the pitch and seeing the couple wearing the hat out by the camp setting.

      @historynerdsmancave7567  4 месяца назад +1

      I live in Alabama, where it is currently June and hotter than Hell, so all of my wool and felt hats are in storage. I'll double check the next time I run across the Bozeman, but I am fairly certain you can remove the hatband and replace it with another. It's either glued or attached with a couple of stitches. Be mindful, it you want to roll up or "crush" the Bozeman, you need a hatband that will "crush," as well. Thanks for watching!

    Accurate review. I am on my 3rd Bozeman Crushable. ( Lost the second one after 9 months ).
    I wear it just about daily. Lots of burns ( I am around a campfire almost daily ), rainstorms, etc.
    It keeps my head warm and dry. It takes abuse. I do not find it aesthetically pleasing. I wish they made crushables in at least half a dozen styles so I could select something better. I will say that my FIRST one was the best. I think they changed their construction formula after the first run. But I agree with your assessment and add only that it will handle abuse over the long haul.

      Pretty much any of the Stetson hats in their "Outdoor" category, such as the Bozeman reviewed here, are water repellent and can be worn in the rain. Many folks wear their high-end Stetson western hats and fedoras in the rain, but I personally don't do that because I'd like mine to last for decades. Of course, a drenching downpour can wreak Hell on just about any hat.
