Whether you're riding all day or spending Saturday night under the blue neon, the 20X Colt is up to the task. This is the George Strait Collection straw hat: a 4⅛-inch cattleman's crown, a 4¼-inch brim, and a leather sweatband. The light-brown hatband carries three rows of white stitching, and a silver pendant with the signature design marks it as part of the collection.
What 20X means on a straw hat. Unlike felt — where the X rating describes the fur blend — on straw it measures the weave: how fine the reeds are and how tightly they're worked. A 20X is a tight, refined weave, which means it holds its shape better, looks more polished, and lasts longer than a loose-weave straw that goes soft after one season.
Straw is the hot-weather hat. It breathes in a way felt cannot, which is what makes it the right choice from spring through September in Texas. If you want a felt hat for the cold months, see the Cody Johnson 6X. And don't read the numbers across materials — a 20X straw and a 20X felt are rated on entirely different scales.
Available for in-store pickup in Dallas at Teres Western Wear.
