I just received my Kangaroo Crossing Buffalo Hide Hat and couldn't be more pleased. I am a bald guy who wears hats 365 days a year while walking my dogs, driving and doing anything outdoors. I've always worn canvas safari type hats. I stumbled across Conner Hats being recommended on reddit and was thrilled to see leather hats.
First, the hat looks fantastic. Second, I was hoping it would be a bit warmer so I can wear it during colder months. Third, it's a bit "dressier looking" than my other hats. Even though it is leather, I expect I can wear it most of the year here in Raleigh NC except for the hottest summer days.
Most of all, I think it looks cool (see for yourself in my pics - at least I think I look cool).
This is my first Conner hat but definitely not my last. I've got my eye on the Leather Nickel Hat, the High Sierra and possibly one of the cotton hats down the road.
I have a big head which measures 22 5/8 inches. My other hats (different brand) are size 7 5/8. Based on the circumference of my head, I purchased size L. It's just a smidge snug so I've been stretching it over my knee and will wear it inside for a day or two to see if that works. If not, I'll exchange it for an XL. (Update: I exchanged it via ReDo for an XL because it was still too tight after stretching).
Lastly, my order didn't ship immediately so I emailed customer service after a couple of days and was pleasantly surprised to get an email back within a few hours from Will himself explaining there was a backlog at the warehouse. I like that I'm buying from a small business staffed by real people (vs. a corporate behemoth).
My hat shipped the next day and arrived two days earlier than the tracker had originally estimated.
