A Fine Hat

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.

23 years

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.

horrifying

who is who?

Hat, crushable, waterproof.

Outstanding. Comfortable right out of the box. Wore it in the rain. Waterproof. Rolled it up. Back to original. Packed it. Back to original.

Another great hat

So - my first review was for my 30-year old hat that had gone all over the world with me. After three weeks in Oz recently, I decided to buy a new one! Although it doesn’t have the mileage of my first one, I love this new Traveller! The quality is self-evident, the fit perfect, and it is a very welcome addition to my hat collection. Will Connor was especially cool, giving me advice on repairing my old one, (which I followed Will and it now is well again), and helping with the new one. At this rate, I will be getting my third one aged 120….

Cannot recommend Conner hats highly enough!
