Women’s Felt Hats

For an everyday felt hat, the Rodeo King Low Rodeo styles in Pecan, Tan Belly, and Slate are the best option. The South Texas Tack 10X Horseman line comes in Silver Belly, Charcoal, Chocolate, and Tan Belly, all built in-house to a consistent standard. Most of these come with an open crown and are unshaped giving you the chance to steam it into a custom crease that holds its shape over time. The ProHats Stockshow comes precreased with a standard western crease if you'd rather wear it as is.

What the X Rating Means

The X rating on a felt hat refers to the amount of beaver fur in the felt blend. A higher X rating means a higher percentage of fur, which makes the felt softer, more water resistant and longer lasting. A 5X hat like the Rodeo King Low Rodeo is a solid everyday choice while the pure beaver South Texas Tack styles sit at the top of the range for durability and finish. The right rating comes down to how often you'll wear the hat and the finish you're after.

FAQ

Are felt hats good for cold weather?

Yes. Felt is denser and warmer than straw, holds its shape better, and offers more protection against wind and rain.

What does the X rating mean on a felt hat?

The X rating refers to the percentage of beaver fur in the felt blend. A higher X rating means more fur, which makes the felt softer, more water resistant, and longer lasting.

What is the difference between an open crown and precreased felt hat?

An open crown hat arrives unshaped, giving you the option to crease it to your own preference while a precreased hat arrives shaped with a standard western crease.

How do I care for a felt hat?

Brush the felt regularly with a soft hat brush, working in the direction of the nap, to lift dust and keep the finish clean. Handle the hat by the brim rather than the crown, and store it upside down or on a rack.
