Stetson

Hailing from New Jersey, USA, John Batterson Stetson began his own hat company in 1865. Despite being from a hatter family, he went out on his own and began making hats to protect those who were out in the elements of the South West during the Great Gold Rush. By the early twentieth century, Stetson was the largest hat company in the USA.

Having made panama and straw hats since the 1940s, Stetson have refined their craft to perfection. A large majority of their hats now have Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) ratings to ensure they are truly sun protective. Sun protection benefits everyone of all ages, but particularly men as UV rays penetrate the head, scalp and neck the most frequently. Why not look stylish while also being sun-safe?
