My Resistol 6X with rope band that I paid $75 for some 9 to 10 years ago has been a great hat. I don't see this hat being superior to any of my current hats, but that doesn't mean it's not a nice-looking, comfortable, durable hat, it may surprise everyone. I personally like the look of it.
I agree with your summation of the hat. It's a decent-looking hat, but Tecovas has missed the mark with the price tag. As you mentioned, you could get a much higher quality hat from Stetson, Resistol, or Rodeo King for a similar price or less.
I am glad Tecovas is dipping their toes in cowboy hats! I would have grabbed one for review but I would have to go to the store in person because I got a weird head and pre shaped hats typically don't fit properly(mainly the crown is too low). I also prefer to get open crowns and have it hand shaped, but I will say that hat has a very nice shape. Great job on this video man, I like how you pointed out how they didn't need to put an x rating, glad they aren't following the trend of just slapping an x rating on a hat for the sake of it. Yeah, I have two 10x rodeo king felts. Both were open crown and I love them! I do have a grizzly American hat co, definitely a special occasion hat lol
Great review, really glad I watched this video, I was going to buy this hat but I think I'll go with the Stetson 6X Skyline which was my far second choice compared to this Tecova hat. You brought up many valid points, not knocking the Tecova hat, it looks good, just wasn't quite what I was looking for after watching this video, thanks for saving me the time and disappointment
Thank you for your honest review. I really like the shape of the crown, and brim, but I would prefer to buy a higher quality hat for a little more money, and have it shaped like this one. I would also prefer a buckle set, and felt hat band.
I have 6 Akubra hats from Australia, made all from 100% rabbit and they are seriously kick ass hats and tough! Nothing wrong with rabbit at all! This hat looks fantastic!
Yep. I was in the market for a new hat in chocolate (brown) and searched everywhere locally for an American Hat Co hat and could not find one in that color. I did get a Rodeo King on sale and stacked with a military discount, I couldn’t pass it up.
Solid review, man. I actually kinda dig the hat, but I can't argue with your points dollar for dollar. It would just come down to folks wanting to throw Tecovas a solid for the sake of supporting a company they like, in spite of the quality deficit as compared to other more established, more premium hat makers. I see on their website they have this hat in umber, I will say, it looks good. Ultimately, sales will determine whether Tecovas keeps the hat at this price point or mark it down a bit. You've got a new sub, thanks for the review!
Thank you sir for the kind compliment and welcome. So I saw the new umber color but in American or any other hat brand it’s called chocolate and if you like the tear drop or Gus shape on the crown and you order from a reputable company like jobe’s hat best hat store or NRS just to name a few that I know you can let them know that you want your hat shaped like the Tecovas hat and the will do it for you and if you like the brim small like the Tecovas hat 4 inch brim they could cut it down and make it look just like that but with a much better quality hat if you can do American hat co that would be the best even in there 7x but any brand would do better then this for the money. Also the Tecovas crown is too short especially for the shape so if you notice the hat seat’s to high on my had and looks silly as opposed to my American. I hope this helps and Thanks for your support.
Yeah I agree. I like Tecovas as a company. I have three pairs of boots so far, and like their products. But with Tecovas you’re definitely paying for the brand name. I’ve wanting to their hat, but was wondering if the price was too high or not for the rabbit fur. I’m newer to hats and so far two of my three hats are wool, but I’ve been wanting something a bit better.
Nice honest review. Nothing wrong with a rabbit hat but at the price point there are definitely better options. It does have a sweet looking liner though! I'll stick with my Resistols and Stetsons for now. Thanks for the review!!
The pic inside the crown reminds me of Bailey Hats. They were notorious for putting imprints in the inside liner. Maybe Bailey is manufacturing these hats for Tecovas.
Yes sir you are very right I didn’t notice that and they might actually be manufacturing the house for them but I heard they are being manufactured in Mexico
I agree with you. I think it's over priced for what it is. I'm looking for my second wool or fur hat now. Want something in chocolate brown for 260 or less. The issue is with off the rack hats is my head is a bit of a long oval. The black Cody James hat I got at boot barn dented my forhead until I learned to steam it and stretch it in to a better shape. I'm looking at a twister 6x from the Cow Lot because they custom shape or a Resistol 72 6x but open to ideas.
For a 100% hare hat I am thinking $200. - $225 for an off the shelf hat. I don’t mind the crown, something different than a Cattlemen’s crease. I’d flatten that brim out and give it some dip. Nice review!
You’ll see a lot of those in the Starbucks - won’t because I’m not a patron hahaha. I give it to Tecovas , their marketing department has hit a home run! They have folks thinking they are wearing top tier boots!!!
You can buy a superior Rodeo King for nearly $100 less than a Tecovas. I know that because I did just so. On the other hand, I do like Tecovas boots and own four pair of them
Yes sir if you go to the right shaper they could do it if it’s a new open crown but if the hat already has a crown shape or has been factory pressed then the place where you take it to would need to be able to re-block the crown back to an open crown and then reshape it but it could definitely be done.
I'm not a Tecovas basher, I've got a couple pair of boots from them and they haven't done me wrong, but for the hat, the high price aside that crown is, uh...... interesting.
Yes I have nothing against Tecovas they Have done lots of great things but hats are very particular and I wouldn’t wear one of these nor do I see it worthy of it’s price tag.
American for me are the best money can buy. But, I’d like to see them put some around the $180-200 range. I would like a 3 or 4x to wear when it’s humid outside without having to wear a straw hat
Excellent review!! That hat, in my opinion, is overpriced. The Tecovas enthusiasts may like the hat just because it is made by them. However, it is a unique style and it will be interesting to see just how well it is received in general.
you are absolutely right about a 6x stetson skyline being a far better purchase. anyone who's excited about telling people they got a tacovas instead of a stetson has shiz backwards lol
Yep absolutely I definitely can shape this hat and make it look more towards my style but i can definitely get a much better quality hat for the money. Thank you so much for your support.
@@cowboybootshatsandwesternl9663 not sure what the blend is but I’ve never had any issues with them and I’m a firm believer of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
@@robertrodriguez43 oh yeah I hear you on that I agree with you if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it but I’m looking at both of them Resistol and American the 40X American feels call Paula better. It is a much nicer had them for 30x resistol as far as Finish bill quality and not to mention the 40x American is 50 to 60% beaver so being that they are at the same price I would strongly recommend trying out an American if you have a shop near you that has one I don’t think he would regret it
Akubra all day long will be better than any of these. I own three and a 60x American. The American is amazing. I also own a 7x American that’s super disappointing especially for the price. Get an Akubra Woomera. Big ol Montana style hat that can be shaped. Superb hat under 200. Get direct from Australia. Cheaper even with shipping.
I buy my hats from hat makers and my boots from boot makers. Tecovas targets newbies and hipsters. Their boots are ok for a decent priced mid tier boot. I can get a far superior Stetson or Resistol for the price of their hat.
Their boots are pretty well made though. Lemonwood pegs and brass nails, leather stacked heel, only downside really is there heel counter material other than that they’re damn good for the price. I can’t speak for their hats cause I agree. You could get a better one for the same price with a different brand.
Yes it is very small compared to modern standards Stetson would be much better then this by far but if you want to splurge and get the best hat it’s gonna be American hat company they are a bit more but a hat to own a lifetime.
I saw this hat in store yesterday and wasn’t impressed with the quality for the price point. I have Stetson and Larry Mahan hats that are much nicer and better quality felt that cost less than this hat. Basically, this is a hat for hipsters into western wear that will never use the hat for any kind of work.
Nice hat, beautiful liner, but yes, way overpriced. Many more options at that price. Tecovas has a great marketing campaign and focuses on a larger demographic-those who aren’t “cowboys.” I like their boots, and their boots are priced very competitively.
use of the word "traditional" can be confusing in the context of a cowboy hat because what is Traditional to someone from Texas whos 35 might be very different to someone whos from Wyoming and is 65 years old. it really is a one of a kind crease, not really a gus at all.

That’s definitely the way to go.

What brim shape would you say this is?
Very nice review. It's a nice looking hat, and will have it's Tecovas wearers of course. I'm liking upscale Stetson & American Hat Co hats myself.
Yep. I was in the market for a new hat in chocolate (brown) and searched everywhere locally for an American Hat Co hat and could not find one in that color. I did get a Rodeo King on sale and stacked with a military discount, I couldn’t pass it up.

My pleasure I do very much agree with you my friend and it is a pleasure to do these reviews.
Thank you for your support.
I have American, Catalina Hatters, and Resistol hats. Was interested in this one but not after the video.
Awesome review and very knowledgeable with your hats my friend. Couldn't agree with you more. Keep up the great work! 👍
I like your honesty

Yes sir you are very right I didn’t notice that and they might actually be manufacturing the house for them but I heard they are being manufactured in Mexico
Good review. Thanks for sharing.
I love that liner!!
Yes it is a cool looking liner for sure.
I agree with you. I think it's over priced for what it is.

Try the Stetson Powder River. I’m long oval and it fits well. Comfy and sturdy stylish

I really like the crown shape. Could a decent hat store shape a Stetson like that?
Yes sir if you go to the right shaper they could do it if it’s a new open crown but if the hat already has a crown shape or has been factory pressed then the place where you take it to would need to be able to re-block the crown back to an open crown and then reshape it but it could definitely be done.
I felt it was priced a tad high myself.
Definitely go with a proven hat co. like Stetson,etc.
Great review!!
Thank you sir I really appreciate your support.

I know you said you don't love it, but the lower crown actually looks good on you!
Weird crown, and the hey completely missed the mark on the price point. I like the brim and color though. But you know I’m all about American 🇺🇸
Same here brother American is the best.
But they overshot the price by far.
American for me are the best money can buy. But, I’d like to see them put some around the $180-200 range. I would like a 3 or 4x to wear when it’s humid outside without having to wear a straw hat
Looks like an old school RCA crease. 1970s. Not seen much these days.

Yes sir absolutely
Good review.
Awesome review
and mustache!
Glad you enjoyed it
Just curious, can you have a factory shaped hat, reshaped?
you are absolutely right about a 6x stetson skyline being a far better purchase. anyone who's excited about telling people they got a tacovas instead of a stetson has shiz backwards lol
,,,sharp looking hat.
Love the hat partner
Good review!
Im glad you liked it.
Thank you for your support.
A little steam and some tweaking on the brim, you'll have a decent looking hat. At the same time, if the hat is not for you, then it's not for you.
Yep absolutely I definitely can shape this hat and make it look more towards my style but i can definitely get a much better quality hat for the money.
Thank you so much for your support.
It’s a nice looking hat, but I’ll stick to Stetson, especially for tecovas price tag!
I agree with you but if you can splurge a bit more then Stetson I’d definitely recommend getting an American.
Much better quality hats.
Nice hat, but I do prefer my Stetson..
Great video I was wondering what it was like, I rather pay $600 for a resistol 30x any day
Yes sir, and even better for that price you will get a much nicer hat purchasing a 40X American hat co

People with Long face look good with almost any hat in my case I have round face (and ugly too ) do I have to find the right one.
Lol
,,,yep, that's too much for that hat...I got some Akubra's mailed in from Australia for less than that
I buy my hats from hat makers and my boots from boot makers. Tecovas targets newbies and hipsters. Their boots are ok for a decent priced mid tier boot. I can get a far superior Stetson or Resistol for the price of their hat.
Agreed!
I definitely agree with you my friend
Hit the nail on the head
After seeing this review, I’m going for a Stetson open road. Thanks!

I can’t speak for their hats cause I agree. You could get a better one for the same price with a different brand.
7 1/4 just my size!
What’s the brown hats name at 7:29
That’s a steel American hat company 40X
I love my Stetson
Yes sir I do love mine too.
but my American will always be my favorite.
Stetson for me but I really don’t like the shape of the crown at all, also looks small
Yes it is very small compared to modern standards Stetson would be much better then this by far but if you want to splurge and get the best hat it’s gonna be American hat company they are a bit more but a hat to own a lifetime.

the more narrow shape of that tacovas is better for his face the wide brim is trendy but for his face and jaw thats way too big
use of the word "traditional" can be confusing in the context of a cowboy hat because what is Traditional to someone from Texas whos 35 might be very different to someone whos from Wyoming and is 65 years old. it really is a one of a kind crease, not really a gus at all.
more like a 1970s RCA crease. So yeah, will probably appeal to the customer buying alligator boots at the Tecovas store.
But at least it ain’t wool! 😂
True but at that price it should have some beaver in it so you could always get a better hat from an actual hat company for the same price.
I like the hat, but I can’t stand that crown shape. I’d re-block it.
เป็นเงินไทยเท่าไรครับ
I have no idea.
Over priced hats that some hipsters or wannabe cowboys would wear I’ll stick to my Resistol hats.
