All Stetson's, Resistols, Baileys, and Renegades can be considered to be top quality western hats and will last for years upon years if not abused. When going through our descriptions you may see terms like crown and profile. If you are unfamiliar with these terms do not worry as they pertain to the shape of the top of the hat, which you will be able to see in the picture. Generally the fur hat's are considered the most desireable to own but are also the most expensive. In fur hats the X rating pertains to the softness of the hat and how much exotic fur it contains (From Beaver all the way up to fur's like Mink). The higher the X rating the softer the hat feels and higher percentage of fur is used. Generally the hats that are made of wool are consider work grade hats that can be easily replaced if damaged. The X numbers in straw hats pertain to how fine of a fiber is used along with how tightly the hat is woven. The higher the X rating the more tightly woven and fine fiber is used.
