Well sir, I like that hat. It has some very nice lines to it. Now, I'm an old retired Texas peace officer, who spent ten years in the mounted unit, out of my 30 year career. And worked on a cattle ranch about 15 years total before and after my days as a lawman. Guess you could say I'm not some kind of wimpy little guy. I'd wear that hat any day, and never feel the need to order a Shirley Temple at the bar. Bourbon, if you please... And as to the floral design on the buckle, I still ride a 1932 Potsengerten floral tooled double rig saddle handed down from my father. Another old mounted Texas lawman. And nobody ever called either one of us anything but "sir" when addressing us. 😒 So, wear that hat, and enjoy it. And pay no attention to anything anyone else says. They're just not right in the head. 😂

I purchased this hat about 8 months ago. I liked the way it looked online. When I pulled it out of the box I was a little underwhelmed for lack of a better word. When I put it on it didn’t look like a traditional cowboy hat like the Stetson Skyline . It looked like a cross between a Fedora and a Aussie outback hat . Its an ok looking hat but It doesn’t look like what I normally think of when I picture the American Cowboy Western style hat. Another good video and review!

Good looking hat. I like a pinch front and tear drop crown. Growning up in Tampa FL I watched the same wrestlers you did, only a few years earlier. I met Jack Brisco , Hulk Hogan, Dory Funk Jr and a few more. A lot of them lived locally and it was not hard to run into them back in the day. Love your videos , keep up the good work.

We took a family vacation to Kentucky last year, and my wife rolled her eyes when I insisted that we visit the grave of Macho Man's ex-wife, Miss Elizabeth, who is buried in Frankfort.

Hi, i want a Seneca but I live in Canada and they dont ship here. Sad because i know some Stetson was made in Canada. I had one bought in Vancouver that i loved so much but it was too small so i stretched it in maximum which caused premature wear of the inside band and silk (I wear 7 1/2). For the girl in the picture, i think girl or boy clothe dont exist and you should not be embarassed of wearing fancy girly hat. If you love something and think is beautifull you should feel free to wear it! Anyway its nice to see it in a video, thank you!

I returned the blue “Boss of the Plains” hat from a previous video to Stetson, and it wasn’t a great experience.

Stetson’s customer service is great when buying hats, but it’s the opposite when returning them.

The hat looks fine. The brim in proportion to your shoulders are real good too. I don’t think a hat the size of an umbrella, if that’s what your looking for, would fit right or look well.

When you told me in a previous video's comment response that you had gotten one of the Buffalo Collection hats, I was really hoping you had gotten the Drifter (which is my everyday wear model). So I'm a bit bummed you got this one with it's goofy-looking rodeo brim. Having said that, I can tell you that a smaller brim is not a bad thing. I'm about your size and think my Drifter looks great in the mirror, and that the Seneca looked just fine on you aside from the brim being bent the wrong way. And as an Okie, I can anecdotally confirm that the smaller brim is functionally better when the wind comes sweeping down the plains. Thanks for the video, I look forward to the next one. P.S. Kerry & Kevin Von Erich > Ric Flair, whose only real talent was saying the word "woo".

I bought myself a pair of boots along with a nice Stetson shirt. The shirt was not cheap but it’s got an incredible design, feels high quality, and has really nice snaps.

I’m 5’10” / 170lbs and it looks small on me too. I have it in black. The pinch front makes your head look egg shaped and the crown looks very short from the rear view. This hat looks great on a woman but if you want something with a shorter brim and pinch front crown go with the Carson or the Dune if you’re a man. I ended up steaming open the crown and reshaping it along with the brim to look more like something an Australian crocodile hunter would wear.

I chuckled when you said you have a problem finding “big hats” because you wear a 7 3/4 hat size. You think you have problems. Try finding a 7 7/8 or 8. It really ticks me off that Stetson prides itself on being the American hat maker, yet they seldom make hats larger than 7 3/4. I’ve written to them a number of times, but their reply is all of their hat templates only go up to that size. Are you serious?!! Yet I see numerous online complaints that there are few if any XXL sized hats to be found anywhere. Thank God for Akubra. The Aussies recognize that people are made with big heads so they make XXL hats. ( 63 or 64 cm ) In my estimation, Akubra runs circles around Stetson not only in terms of sizing, but quality and style.

They make hats stiff so they hold their shape. In fact, they make hat stiffener that you can spray on them if they start to get floppy and lose their shape. You can find hats that aren't stiff...but those ain't real "cowboy" hats. The Stetson Bozeman that I reviewed on my channel is a crushable wool hat that isn't stiff, and though it's an "outdoor hat," it can pass for a cowboy hat.

Well I gotta tell you,I can see that it fits you well,in my opinion,and I might add that it doesn’t look small on your big melon head,so wear it proudly.

didn't Ted Turner buy Georgia wrestling and put it on TBS?

Yep, thats where I watched it as a kid - Turner’s WTCG/WTBS. They later changed the name from Georgia Championship Wrestling to World Championship Wrestling. Such great childhood memories…
