American Hat Co.
Silver Belly Felt, 40X, 4½" brim
Hand finished in Bowie, Texas · shaped at Double R Hat House, Elgin
$775 (40X — 10X is $615, 100X is $1,250)
The one to buy once. 40X felt, hand finished in Bowie, Texas, and shaped to your head at Double R.
American Hat Co. has been making felt in Texas for over a century, and the X number is the quality of the felt itself — 40X sits above the 10X most people start with and below the 100X. Double R shapes it by hand, so the crown and brim are chosen rather than inherited. Silver belly is the color that goes with everything and hides a season of dust.
