Henschel Men's Aussie Crushable Hat

Worked in them for years comfortable after washed and cleaned Easley hand washed and air dryer over night

Love it and wear it all the time

This hat works well if you receive it “uncrushed.” My 23 1/2” head requires the XL size despite an earlier reviewer’s results. First shipper sent the hat loose in a box - it came thru fine. Second shipper, Gempler’s, packed with packing paper - ended up causing the brim to be folded. It is not easily straightened but I have no time to replace it before my trip so will keep it and try to work it out. Do not expect this hat to be crushable - not even close. It is cool to wear and fit is good otherwise. I wanted to buy US made and this fits that requirement.

Great for hot humid weather

Its a hat I ordered for my husband. So far he likes it. Just the bill or brin makes noise.

gteat company but i think this hat is misrepresented

I have had a succession of hats for tennis and walking the dog. I bought this one (Henschel Aussie Solarweave) because we were going to be spending whole days outdoors in Greece and Italy and I sunburn easily.Once in Europe, I slathered sunscreen on, slapped this hat on my head and headed outdoors. The weather turned out to be unseasonably mild, so my fears of sunstroke were allayed. But the hat performed fantastically.In the sun, it provides enough shade from glare that sunglasses become optional. In the rain, it keeps my eyeglasses and shoulders dry. Best thing: I can keep it on indoors, say on the metro or in a museum, with perfect comfort. My wife was constantly removing her straw hat because it was too warm. Meanwhile, because of the airflow through the wide weave in the sides of the crown, I was as cool with the hat on as I was with it off. The hat is so light that it is less obtrusive than my glasses.The cord tie is essential to keep the hat on in the wind. It is also long enough to enable you to let the hat hang down your back when you don't want it on but you want your hands free (say on a cathedral visit).I crushed it fairly frequently during travel. It recovers with only hints of creases. The shape stays solid, but it gives it a less-than-new look, probably a good thing for such an outdoorsy piece of clothing.I won't be playing tennis in it because the brim is too wide for a tennis serve, but otherwise I expect to wear it a lot and then replace it with the same model if it's still available.

The quality of the hat was not in question. Very well made and looked great. The hat fit snug. Normally wear a 7 3/8 and based on chart size and similar product fit at Academy I ordered the L. The large came with an insert to go in the hat band to "adjust the size" to fit but based on the price I did not want to utilize that. The medium fit well.One laughable comment: the large size came in a large hat box. It was wrapped in plastic and well "guarded" in the box to prevent damage and was left at my door. The medium came in a plastic bag that was shoved in the mailbox. I know this is marketed as a "crushable" hat but thought the packing difference was humorous.
