I don’t like their current color offerings in hemp, gotta find me one of those.

The newer ones always seem to have a light color hatband to match the binding..... Me.... I took the light ribbon off and added a darker grosgrain... to my eye it looks less casual

I love the turquoise, and have really been watching for one of the mustard yellow hemps ( think they only did those for a year or so). I have a really nice Coniac color hemp OR, but as far as I can see they never offered it in the Stratoliner. I like the natural color, but the dark brown brim binding is kinda contrasty.... Im thinking of redoing one with a lighter tan or Kakhi colored ribbon

Do they fit true to size? I see some reviews saying they run big.

they DO run a bit big. Ive never noticed a Stetson hemp shrinking with age. They DO seem to be consistant... they ALL run a bit large for the size marked
