Review on FURTALK Australian Wool Fedora Hats - Stylish And Versatile Headwear For Men And Women by Monica Satchell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feels and Look Better Than Hats Costing 100 Bucks More

The dark blue with the metal clasp on the band gets me a lot of compliments and "Dude, where'd you get that hat?" remarks, with the person genuinely looking to check it for themselves (mostly other men).Style:I thought the unisex label might make this hat style a bit geared towards women (since the company mostly has women in all its photos), but it really works perfectly well for both male and female -- when I wear it, it looks like it was specifically designed for men, and when my girlfriend goes out with it on, it looks like it was designed for women. So that passes the ultimate "unisex" test.The dark blue especially goes great with my coats and jackets colored in black and olive. Works well with sweatshirts and also button ups. Really is quite versatile for going with casual or dressed-up outfits.Size:I got the smaller size after I returned the larger one, and it is still a TAD too large, especially the first two weeks after a fresh haircut, but it's quite snug and balanced all-around. I wouldn't keep it if it wasn't -- just keep in mind it runs a bit large when ordering size -- hopefully this great band one day offers more diverse sizing options, but as of now there are only two.Each hat DOES include two Velcro strips you can peel on the inside, to make it a bit tighter if you'd like.The "tad" too large doesn't even make it wobble around or slide down some. I just prefer if it pressed in a bit tighter.Warmth:As for warmth, I wish it was a bit warmer, but it's still plenty warm -- it sufficed for the long, cold winter we just had up north -- but it's not a dedicated thick winter wool hat, like something from Filson. It did handle the snow quite well and was totally unaffected by lots of pile up, so that is another plus. No degradation at all after the first winter :-)This lack of "super warmth" might be more or less appealing to you, depending if you plan to wear it all year round or only in the fall/winter. It's a great hat for early spring, early fall, all winter if you're bundled up, and really any day not too hot or humid (I wouldn't want to sweat in it).Looking forward to wearing this at least through mid-May and picking it back up again in September.----------For 30 bucks, this is pretty much an everyday fedora than can last at least five years and go with every outfit. What more can you ask for?

Pros
  • The hats are easy to clean and maintain, simply wipe them with a damp cloth or brush to remove any dirt or dust
Cons
  • Can become deformed from frequent wear
