I can’t really review the hat until I have it , and have worn it!!
However, having purchased at least 3 hats from this site before, I’m sure I won’t be disappointed!!

Just Awesome
I'd been waiting to buy this hat for a long time and when I saw it reduced in the January sale, I figured it was time to bight the bullet! It is fabulous. It gives me the Indiana Jones look I have always craved.

Be warned: My wife says it is "too cowboy". For me, this is the attraction.

As always, the service from this website was impeccable.

St Mawes Floater.
It's my favourite hat.
So much so , that to my utter dismay, it flew off of my head and into the sea below the sea wall. I waited and anticipated its arrival on the far beach about 2 hours later..it was ok it didn't sink obviously . I rinsed it shampooed it , and can't wait to take it on more adventures.

Great Service, Good Hat
Thinking I was a cowboy in the wilds of rural Hertfordshire I ordered a leather Outback hat, in the wrong size. After one email an exchange for the right style and right size was completed, painlessly, within three days. Yes, I would recommend them.

A Fine Hat
Must agree with a previous review that it is more cowboy than bogart. Side brims do curl upwards to give that impression. However it goes well with a more casual look and for that reason decided to keep it.

Jaxon & James Ford Fedora
I often wear hats and wanted a large brimmed brown hat. It fits the bill very well. The head band is not overly stiff and can therefore give a little, I wish I could have tried on a smaller size just to see if it would provided a slightly snugger fit. Otherwise very please. Delivery and service were very good

Jaxon Ford Fedora.
This is my first purchase from Village Hats - and it won't be my last. The website was easy to follow, even for older people like myself. The range/styles of products were great. Purchasing was simple and secure bringing you peace of mind. Delivery was excellent and speedy. And the product was second to none. I am very happy with it. Several friends have commented favourably on my purchase and wish to look up the website. If there was any more to be done, the only thing I would like to see would be a bigger colour range in each style. There is not a Navy or a Grey in the style of purchase I chose. But overall, I found my first foray into Village Hats to be completely enjoyable and very satisfactory in every way. Personally I would mark my experience as 10/10. Thank you very much.

Jaxon Ford Fedora-Black
I have been searching for a fedora hat for a while. This hat is beautiful, original, as well as made of high quality wool. It is also very comfortable to wear. It really adds character to all my clothes. From the moment of first holding it in my hands, I am rarely parted from it. This is because of never ending compliments! It should definitely find its way into the wardrobe of every fashionista. I really recommend.
On top of all this, the service is fantastic as it is professional and has express delivery. A well deserved 5 stars for everything.
Thank You HATS AND CAPS

great fit
2nd hat I have bought, I had the black one but it disappeared, it had got lodged in the back of the coat cupboard and slept on by cats for 3 months quick reshape, sticky roll to get rid of hairs and it is fine, this one looks better with brown jacket. Again great fit, great service, great value

Fantastic first hat buying experience
Just purchased this as my first hat. Though I'm an inexperienced hat owner it seems very good quality, well packaged and the delivery time was fantastic. Order was placed on Sunday, dispatched on Monday in my hands in Denmark on Wednesday morning. I used standard international shipping too, glad I didn't stump up the extra tenner for the express.

Thank you kindly, Village Hats!

Crushable Outback
This was my third purchase Village Hats having already bought two excellent summer hats. This Crushable Outback in brown is well made and very stylish. I was so impressed I ordered a black one as well. Every purchase has been despatched prompty and delivered in first class condition in good quality protective packaging. I can't recommend Village Hats too highly and I will be buying from them again. Excellent.

Just what I was looking for
My son celebrated his 21st birthday by having a Zoot Suit hand made - the only missing accessory was a hat. I searched everywhere but could only find sites in the US until I came across Village Hats. The hat is perfect and looks fantastic with the addition of a long pheasant feather. The hat is quality made and came pefectly boxed with no damage - will definately be back for more.

Jaxon Ford Fedora
Ordered one of these wanting a more 1940-50's style hat. However the wide brim on this hat makes it look more akin to an Indiana Jones style hat. Perhaps hence the Ford in the name, maybe as in Harrison Ford. It's hard to tell from the picture but it really is more of an adventurer or outback style hat with that brim. I'd recommend the C-Crown or the Christys Knightsbridge, which is what I exchanged this one for, or the Christys Casablanca for a more traditional Fedora look. Otherwise a good hat for the money.

Well my fedora has been earning its keep through all the snow, sleet, rain, hail and wind which is typical for the English winter. It fit my head perfectly despite most hats being too large and it certainly gets commented on as I stride down the street looking dapper in my wool coat and hat!

Everything went well. Choosing and ordering was easy, including getting the right size, I liked the hat when it arrived - so did my wife, it was a tiny bit large, but nothing that a little tissue in the hat band couldn't solve, and I feel good in it. what more could a man ask for... at least from a hat!

This was the first time I've dealt with this company, and I have to say that the whole experience has been superb.

My hat arrived very quickly and was expertly packaged, and the hat itself is wonderful - and such value!

Now to choose my next one....

Wrong style for a Fedora - but well made!
In my opinion - this is more Stetson than Fedora as the brim at both sides roll upwards rather than lie flat. Probably too late too complain despite hat still being unused, with label attached and in box but bought last Nov/December. Hopefully the feedback may help someone else or will spur Village Hats to contact me!

A great look for a fantastic price.
This being my first foray into proper hat buying, I ordered the Jaxon Ford Fedora in the biggest size available and another Indiana Jones style hat, which was quite a bit more expensive, in a larger size to see which would suit me best. Have to say, the Jaxon won by a mile. I have a pretty large head so was expecting the Jaxon to probably be a bit too small but its a perfect fit. The other hat turned out to be too large, which surprised me.
The Jaxon Ford Fedora, as well as being a better fit, also looks a lot nicer in my opinion, being a bit more casual and has a lot more character even straight out of the box than the other hat I'd ordered, which had a stiffness to it I really didnt like much. All in all Im very happy with the Jaxon Ford Fedora. Its a great looking hat for a great price. The other hat, which was almost twice the price, just didnt really do it for me and I'll be returning it.

Highly recommend this hat and this site. I'll certainly be using village Hats again.

A comfortable hat and yes, it is crushable and water resistant.
Looks and feels like those Fedoras we see in old adventure movies. Perfect for African jungle as well as modern city jungles.

Got my money worth
For the price your be paying for this hat, its worth it. The delivery service is fantastic, i optd for the special delivery service. I ordered it on Friday morning, i received an email on Monday monrning telling me to expect the delivery between 12noon and 1pm. All of that for 5 pounds, I wish more online companies would do that. Only bad thing i can fingure on this hat, its very hard to get the hat in the shape you want. The sides make it look more like a cowboy hat.

Superb hat. Got one in Brown, my first ever 'proper' hat. Packaged really well. Superb quality and value. Liked it so much I immediately bought one in Black too. Loads of people have commented how nice they look, including work colleagues, and a lovely old lady in church on Xmas eve!

I have owned this hat some years now. Just one fault. The outer band tends to work its way up the hat, so I have had to sew it and glue it back down.

Super hat
This being the fourth hat I have ordered from village hats I was not surprised by the either the superb service or the quality and value of this hat.

The first time I wore it out and about I had several comments from friends about how they liked my new hat. The first time any of them had noriced when I wore a different hat, and I wear a hat all the time. Supremely comfortable, particularly like the narrow brim, which is happy to be placed in several different positions according to my mood. Now my favourite hat.

My most Popular Accessory!
I've had the Ford Fedora for nearly four months, it made an invaluable companion in Barcelona, come rain or shine it surely stood the test - and was a noticeable beacon for my friends to find me with - thus the phrase "follow the hat" was born!. I was quite impressed too when on the first night there an Australian mistook it as an Akubra - such is the quality of this fine hat! Many friends insist on borrowing it when I go out, it certainly gets around! If I have one minor criticism, it's that the brim is rather floppy and bowed, but such is the nature of a crushable wool felt hat that it can't be held against it.

Great Hat, excellent service
Purchasing the Jaxon Ford Fedora was my first serious foray into wearing hats. The style, quality and fit of the hat is excellent - so much so that I bought another one in black so I now have both colours. The website is very useful and led to me purchasing a hatbrush to look after my headgear. Customer service is second to none, I have been so impressed with the faultless, friendly and helpful service I have received. Thank you.

Jaxon Ford Fedora
The first of two hats I have ordered, I was really impressed by the quality of the hat and its packaging, both far better than I was expecting for the price. The hat is a perfect fit, really comfortable and seems well-styled. I have it in black, which makes it look a little bit more formal and dressy - so if you're going for the "adventurer" look, perhaps brown would be a better choice. Overall, this company makes choosing and buying hats fun rather than stressful, so I'll definitely be trying and buying more!

I ordered this from across the Northern Sea. The hat was very well packaged, arrived in perfect shape. Furthermore delivery was swift. much more so than anything else I have ever ordered from the UK. I must admit I was worried about it being water resistant when I felt it, but it held out just find when I used it in pouring weather.
