Stetson Rancher 6X Black Felt Cowboy Hat

The Rancher is one of Stetson's most enduring western hats — 6X fur felt in black, handmade in Texas.

What 6X means. On a felt hat the X rating describes the quality of the fur blend, not 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.

Profile 0140: a tall 5" cattleman crown with a 4" heavy curved brim, a 2-ply cord hat band with removable feather, the JBS branding-iron pin, a handsewn genuine leather sweatband and a full satin liner. Every Rancher passes through more than 100 sets of hands at the Texas factory.
