Stetson 250th Skyline 6X Silverbelly Felt Cowboy Hat

The Skyline 6X USA 250 Edition is a special edition of Stetson's bestselling Skyline, made for the USA 250 Collection marking America's 250th anniversary. Handmade in the U.S.A.

What 6X means. On a felt hat the X rating describes the quality of the fur blend rather than the weave. A 6X is genuine fur felt — not wool — which is the line between a hat that holds its shape through weather and breaks in to your head and one that goes soft after a season. Straw hats use the X letter for something different, where it measures how fine and tight the weave is, so the numbers don't compare across materials.

The USA 250 Edition carries a red, white and blue USA 250 satin liner and an American flag hat pin. It's built on the 7542 profile — a 4⅝-inch medium cattleman crown with a 4¼-inch medium curved brim — finished with a matching self-felt band and three-piece silver-tone buckle over a handsewn genuine leather sweatband. Ships in the limited edition USA 250 hat box.
