Scala Classico Men's Crushable Felt Outback Hat

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.

This hat was a replacement for the same old one. It matched well and is well made.

The media could not be loaded. I have several hats and a lot of them are Bailey, a couple Stetsons and I needed an everyday hat that will take the wear and tear of work, I n and out of the truck and the weather. This hat has seen it all, the rain, being crushed, sat on, dropped, spilled on and the likes. It held up to it all and retained its shape and come right back to the original way it was. The color is really nice it's a good thick felt material and not cheap at all it came with feathers I took my feathers out. This hat has a leather accent band around it which is very nice and thick. The fit is true to size so measure your head with a tape measure and order correctly I put a couple of pieces of the foam that the hat came in, cut into strips and placed them inside the band to give thr hata tight fit to hold during the windy days. Hope this helps and if you get this hat, I'm sure you'll enjoy it For the price you just can't beat it for everyday wear or something that you want to grab and go out the door in a hurry but still looks good enough to go out in y'all have a great day. 😉

I accidentally ordered this in black when I meant to order it in chocolate, so I had to return it. I would have had to return it anyway, however, due to it being slightly too large. I normally wear a 7 3/8" hat, and according to the size chart that would be a large in this brand. However it was too loose by about a 1/4". So order smaller than you normally would!That being said, when I ordered the medium in chocolate to replace the black one, I received the "Indiana Jones" version by Dorfman Pacific and not the "Scala" version. I found out of course that Dorfman Pacific is the maker of the Scala brand as well so the hats were basically identical except for the hat band and the Indiana Jones markings. Still, I was a bit annoyed that it wasn't what I had ordered and I returned it as well in favor of a different Dorfman Pacific hat. I will say that the medium fit quite well and if I wasn't looking for a specific hat, I would have been happy to keep it.This hat shipped super fast; i got it in two days. And the second one came just as fast. The returns were free thanks to amazon prime.These hats are shaped very nicely and are of good quality material that looks good when worn. I liked the black even though it wasn't my first color choice.Overall, as long as you keep the sizing in mind, you should be very happy with this hat!

LOVE THIS HAT!!!I wear a 7/18 & the medium was perfect fitSuper comfortable to wear, great quality. I got the dark brown. Def recommend & might get another one in the tan.

Nice ,comfortable, hat. Retains it's shape after crushed in suitcase.

Hat looks and fits exactly as expected. I’m very pleased.It is NOT a crushable hat, even though everyone advertises it as one. It is PACKABLE. See the tag I posted in the picture. Scala says to fill the crown, and pack around the hat.My hat was delivered in excellent condition in a large box. Again, very pleased, but it’s NOT CRUSHABLE.

Nice looking.Good quality.Nice Fitting.Nice price.(XL for me. I'm 7 7/8)
