Stetson Telida and Stetson Ranco

[foxtrot1213]

Any ideas/opinions about these two?
Basically, I am looking for one which is somewhere between fedora and cowboy style. Of course, if you have any suggestions then feel free to chip in fellas.

Re: Ranco. I would urge you to avoid wool felt and buy fur felt instead.

I second the recommendation to go with fur felt.I believe you'll be happier in the long run.

Sorry but I don't like either of two hats you linked.
" Somewhere between cowboy & fedora style" eh? .......sounds like you could use an Akubra
plenty of styles, colours & brim widths to chose from & they can be steamed into any shape you wish.
If you're on a budget then check out eBay, used Akubra hats are always popping up for sale & usually sell for around half the price of a new one.

Look to Akubra, most of their styles strike a nice balance between western & fedora & they ship all over.

A wool hat just will not cut it in Tampere
You need fur,
Buy any Akubra
Most here seem to think that the Campdraft is THE crossover.
If you are going to spend the 24% VAT it should be on something durable.
Just my opinion.

I have to agree, any hat that can take the beating a Akubra hat can take and still look "right as rain" afterwards, is a hat to pick. Nothing wrong with a good Stetson hat....but the two you listed just plain flat out sort of "stink".

If anything, find a deal on a used Stetson Open Road that is Vintage.....
