Stetson Skyline 6X Black Felt Cowboy Hat

The Skyline is one of Stetson's best-selling western hats, built from 6X fur felt in black and 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.

This edition carries a 4-inch brim with a regular oval fit, finished with a matching self-felt band and a handsewn genuine leather sweatband.
