Conner Hats

It’s fantastic! Greetings from Chile!

Awesome

I have never been a hat guy, but at 70 years old and thinning hair, I saw this hat and love it. My wife loved the look on me, and I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it. I can see why it’s called the Gambler, because when I wear it I get lucky😁!

The hat arrived yesterday, and I have to say, I am quite pleased. It fit my long oval head true to size (using the size chart here.) The leather is plenty thick to stand up to solid use, and the stitching seems well done and solid. Right out of the box, I removed the band and deeply conditioned the hat, band, and sweatband with a high quality conditioner. Last night I wore it for about five and a half hours at an event and found it to be quite comfortable. The photo shows it today, moments after I returned inside from a rainstorm.

What did surprise me about the hat is that the edge of the brim, and the inner seam at the top of the crown are finished with some sort of plastic, not leather. Looking at it, I believe that this is to help with the 'crushability' of the hat. It seems to provide some level of firm structure that might not be present without it. Particularly in the crown which just bounces right back after being squeezed.

The best part of the hat is the leather sweatband (not really a band as it doesn't go all the way around, but it's placed where it is needed.) Most makers of this style of hat seem to either use elastic, which is very uncomfortable with long term wear, or some other fabric that won't stand the test of time. This BC hat is how it should be done.

All in all, I'm very pleased with the purchase.

I wanted to do this review a long time ago but never got around to doing it. I bought my hat in August of 2019, 6 years ago. I bought the “Buster Wool Fedora” in the “putty” color. For those that don’t know putty is a soft, muted, earthy neutral color that looks for similar to the beige or is beige.

I looked all over the internet (and I’m not joking) for places that sold a Fedora hat that looked great and hat all the classic features of the fedora hats worn long ago. All of the places on the internet didn’t get it right, except one, and that one is Conner Hats. To this day I have not seen a better looking fedora hat than the Conner Buster Wool Fedora putty hat. If you’re thinking about buying a new fedora hat you can’t beat the Conner Buster Wool Fedora for fit and finish. Everyone who saw me in this hat has complimented me. Thanks Conner hats!

Great hat. Love it!

I liked everything about my new Conner Hat. The
Quality, workmanship, style, color and fit, all
met and exceeded my expectations. I’ll be doing
my future hat business with, Conner.
Thsnk you,

I ordered the, Jackeroo Style, in Loden Medium

I bought this hat 23 years ago - it's been through everything you can throw at a hat - Australian heat, Irish rain, any situation you can throw at it this hat has been through it and after all those years it has only just ripped. Unfortunately there are no facilities near me, who can work with leather hats so I'm being forced to buy a new one. If you want a good hardy hat that will take as much punishment as you - this is definitely the type of hat you should get. I just hope the new one is as good as the old.

I've had this in Black for a while, and it is my favorite. When I spotted it in Brown and my size I grabbed it. Couldn't be happier.

Nicely designed and constructed. Providing the inserts is good customer service. Conner Hats is a solid retailer with good quality and product.

The summer hat is perfect.

I like this hat it has plenty of classic style and in a warm wool felt. The fit was good too. I like the simplicity and the simple leather band.

I got this in the pyramid in Las Vegas. It’s the best hat I’ve ever worn. Big fan. Big thanks.

My wife gifted me this hat to replace a 20+ year old Aussie Cooler. The Bounty Hunter is great for cooler weather and despite being a little heavier than mesh style, is great for all-day comfort even in the sun.

This hat is now my favorite
