Upon unboxing, and inspection, I found that the Stetson Royal Deluxe Temple, in Black, sized 7 7/8, was utterly perfect. The rabbit fur felt is evenly colored and velvety soft, while the hat body is well formed but not overly stiff. The snap brim came down perfectly at the "hinge" if like me you prefer the brim snapped down, it looks great brim up also, so both modes of wear are well served. The hat was sized properly and fit as desired. It was shipped in a proper Stetson Hat Box, and arrived undamaged.While it is named The Temple as a nod to our man "Dr. Jones", this fedoras shape is evocative of mens hats from the 30's to mid 40's, and the oval nature of the dimensional brim creates a sleek body and shape that is definitely top shelf, but still able to be worn daily with practically anything.To the hat lovers out there, I simply must encourage you to do yourself a favor and get one of these, in the Royal Deluxe you will be putting on an exceptional quality, and iconic hat made by a real American institution. Qiven the top flight quality, and construction, its not an unfair guess right from the start that youd be getting yourself a hat that will last many years (even decades), and remain ferociously stylish all through. Stetson really delivers the goods!Happy hatting!
