Scala Classico Men’s Crushable Felt Outback Hat Wide Brim 100% Wool Felt UV Protection

I looked for a long time, even tried a couple but one size fits most doesn't work for me. This one has traditional sizes, however most people said they ran large. I was right on the cusp between medium and small so I went with the small. The hat arrived on time and was packed well so it was ready to ware right outta the box. The hat fit well, any smaller would have been too small but that is good as hats tend to get bigger but never get smaller. The hat looks to be of good quality and the color was what I expected. I expect to wear this hat for a long time. Any problems and I will up date my review.

I needed something more than a baseball cap to keep sun off my face and ears, and a warm hat for colder weather. This hat has got lots of compliments (a guy in the mall yesterday said he "wants me to give him my hat"). I told him where he could buy one himself. The wool of the hat keeps my head warm and stays on in moderate wind. The color is good (I got the dark brown) and the wool quality is every bit as good as a comparable Stetson, for half the price. Sizing: I'm about a 7.25 hat size, diameter of my head is just under 23". So I'm normally between a med and large. I opted for a medium and it was a bit tight. But I used a hat stretcher on it a few times, stretched it maybe an extra half inch, now it's perfect: snug but not tight. I love this hat, it looks great and gets a lot more positive attention than I expected. It will probably last a long time since I'll only wear it in fall-winter-spring. It might be too warm for summer. The only thing I didn't like about it was the cheap synthetic leather hat band with the feather. Feathers are fine, but just not my thing. I replaced it with a custom horsehair band... Much better. I can't speak to the water resistance because I haven't worn it in rain yet, but I imagine it will shed a fair amount of water.

Nicely made. Feels and looks good. Best price around.

I buy a couple of hats or caps a year and this one is by far the best for fit comfort, and style. Even the spouse liked it and she usually just rolls here eyes when I introduce another hat. Sizing is close but the large fit my 7 3/8 head without issue. Would have expected hat to be shipped "crushed" to save shipping cost but hat arrived ready to wear, not rolled up or crushed. All credit to the Sri Lankan hat-makers who did an excellent job. Would buy again from this vendor/manufacturer.

This hat has become my go-to for almost all of my excursions. I removed the feather (just not my style), but otherwise, this hat is perfect for me. My wife loves how it looks on me and always compliments me when I wear it. I want to get a brown one too. I wish it came in a charcoal grey.

Keeps me warm in the cold, dry in the rain, and shaded in the Sun. Great size and fit. Not too stiff. Good quality

but this hat has changed me into one. Due to a steady abandonment of my hair from my head, I discovered that cold air is now tingling my scalp. "Sooner or later," I thought, "I'm gonna have to get a hat." Not being a big fan of baseball caps, I considered the flat cap but didn't like the looks. The cowboy hat was just too limited on where I could wear it without looking like a dork. So, I started looking at hats when I happened to see them in stores but didn't go out of my way searching. While browsing in a local department store while my wife was Christmas shopping I ran across this hat. It felt great, fit perfectly, looked good on me and was a good color! I also LOVED the fact that it was crushable and would pop right back out to normal and was nearly waterproof! What was NOT to like was the price! In the store this hat was $90! WOW! For me that was too much for a first hat!! "I can beat that on Amazon," I told myself. I jotted down the brand name, the model and size (L) and placed the order when I got home. A few days later, my prize arrived and at a SIGNIFICANT savings!! Unfortunately my bargain was too large! It dropped to my ears and would not stay on my head. I was Soooo disappointed! Now the debate was . . . which one was wrong? The one in the department store or the one from Amazon? I took a gamble and sent back the Amazon model (the only one at the department store one was sold) and reordered a medium. I was disappointed to discover that for an unexplained reason, the medium was nearly $10 MORE than a large ????? Bottom line, the medium arrived and it fit great! I love the hat! My head stays warm, it sheds water and I've gotten lots of compliments on its looks. It is appropriate in most venues and has a classic look without being pretentious. The journey was a bit frustrating but it was well worth it!

Better than advertised. Great fit and exactly what I wanted...so I ordered a brown one as well.

Great Hat, as advertised.

Well-made and comfortable and with a good tug it stays put in the wind. It looks good but just a bit more “Western” than I prefer but now I am comfortable with it and wouldn't change a thing. It is totally crushable, mine was laying under several winter jackets and came out fine.

Estoy muy contento con el estilo y calidad del sombrero. Vale la pena adquirirlo. El tiempo de entrega tal y como se comprometió el vendedor.

Hat is OK. I bought this one from the USA via amazon uk. Took 6 days to get here in a non crushable box and cost £15 less.

Gran sombrero! Excelente material, se ve muy bien y para gente de cabeza grande (3X) como yo es una bendicion
