To start with; Agnoulita Hats runs a great company and was a pleasure to deal with them. They have an amazing website that shows the hats from multiple angles and gives all the dimensions (I wish other companies did that!). They are upfront about their pricing and delivery schedule and ordering online was easy, plus my hat arrived 2 weeks ahead of time.

The Dakota is what I would call a Western Fedora. It is made from rabbit felt that is more on par with a Fedora weight, than a Western weight, so it’s lighter and more comfortable to wear throughout the day. The felt and hat band colors shown on the website were exactly what I received. I was also kept up-to-date on the location of the hat during the shipping and clearing customs process. The quality of this hat is well above the price I paid and I am quite pleased with my new Agnoulita Hat!

As soon as I received it, I knew I had to start about restyling it to match my character. It came with a Cattleman’s crease and turned up brim, neither fit my style. I added some profile to the sides and dropped down the front of the brim. Then I went to town on that crease, turning it into more of an Arena style crease. Now it looks like MY hat :>)

Actual westerns came in all sorts of styles. I like the large diameter curled brim on this hat and the tall crown. The crown will be reshaped into a true vintage style. You can’t get a better hat at twice the cost.

I was very concerned about the fit before placing an order. Every time i measured my head, I got a different measurement. I ultimately went with my mlb baseball fitted cap size and it was perfect! I admittedly was a little disapointed with the ribbon color, as it seems to not match the display image exactly, but im sure thats due to the color representation of my screenband monitor. Thank you for the great hat! I especially appreciate all the communication before placing my order, this is a great team to work with.
