I was hesitant to buy a Stetson made anywhere but John B's America. But am I sure glad I gave in. This Powell Traveller is phenomenal. The fur felt is luxuriously soft, yet sturdy. The quality of the build seems quite satisfactory.For me personally the clencher is the fact that my head is man sized... 7 7/8. Stetson does not make standard hats that size in the beaver felt variety so settled for the Mountain View 100% wool last year. Nice hat but tight in an XXL. But this Powell made in the EU in an XXL fits me perfectly. I don't know if that is related to the building process or the difference in standards of measurements across the Atlantic but if you have a man sized melon like me I suggest you trust the the European made Stetsons to deliver fine quality that fits comfortably. Mine shipped from Switzerland, and I have never heard anything negative about their ability and skills in manufacturing.The hat is gorgeous, the materials and craftsmanship are top-notch. Unfortunately, even though I ordered my correct size, it arrived way too big. Even the sizing strips weren't enough, I had to add some more. Still a classy lid.Good hat. Cheap box. not useful for storage or travelThe hat was beautiful.Great hat. Great seller. Good price and a quick delivery. My hat was well boxed and protected in transit.As expected for a Stetson, this is a beautiful, highly wearable, quality hat. It's my second 'Powell' (two colours) and I've received numerous compliments on the style and class look. It's true to size and the fit is easily customised to perfection with felt, cork or foam size reducing inserts you can place invisibly under the hatband. The seller kindly sent some free inserts for my hat. (Reasonably priced additional or replacement inserts can also be purchased online. My personal preference is for the felt or foam, they're more substantial, versatile and durable and can be adhered to the hat itself beneath the band if preferred.)Sit a Stetson next to any high street Fedora style hat and it's clear why you pay more for a Stetson. There's absolutely no comparison on quality or durability. I now have five Stetsons. They can take wind, hail, rain or snow and still look great. They're also crushable and keep their shape. Yes, I'm a Stetson fan. The brand is worth every penny. Don't hesitate to buy a Stetson from this seller.Excellent quality and correct fit. Very efficient and quick delivery. First Stetson brand...you can feel the differencevery good hat well worth the moneyExcellent product and excellent service by the sellerArticolo arrivato puntuale, con ottimo imballaggio, perfettamente rispondente alle aspettative, complimenti..!!Cappello Stetson originale in pura lana. La misura calza alla perfezione, nella confezione sono incluse due striscioline di sughero da inserire all'interno del risvolto interno (perfettamente invisibili una volta inserite) per aggiustare eventualmente la misura (inserendone una o entrambe).Molto soddisfatto del prodotto, della confezione e della spedizione.
