KEVIN from JJ HAT CENTER 🎸HATS & GUITARS ! I generally do that too but sometimes I give in. I'm a newsoholoic. I know it isn't good for me but I watch anyway. 🙁 I've cut back a lot which helps. You should watch the CatDog 🐱🐶 cartoons on UA-cam. They are all on there & they are hilarious. The way things are going we need to laugh as much as possible. 😂
Daisy Chase ok, I will! I love finding new stuff, like watching “ownage pranks” “ozzyman “ is kinda funny.. and weird stuff like “to catch a predator” or “the after prison show” they tell u how to make ramen noodles on your radiator, or how to make wine in a ziplock bag in your toilet tank..it’s awesome .
KEVIN from JJ HAT CENTER 🎸HATS & GUITARS ! I have a prepper friend who will rescue me if the sh*t hits the fan & society melts down. He knows all kinds of things to do if stuck outside without power, water, food supply, you know basic infrastructure. He probably knows this stuff. BTW he is not a militia guy just a basic cover your bottom in a cataclysm guy & he bought one of my motorcycles. None of my other friends are interested in the stuff I am except my billionaire friend Terry who had a Porsche in high school. She's so nice. Except for looking wealthy you would never know it. That's how it's done. 👍
Kevin, I wanted to leave you a brief comment. Based on this video, I decided to purchase the Hamilton by Selentino. I purchased the gray and based on your advice about their hats running a little large, I purchased a 59 instead of my normal 60. I could not have been happier with the results! The felt is nice and supple with plenty of body, soft without being floppy. I get the most wonderful compliments every time I wear it. Thanks for the advice and steering us in the right direction. Also, kudos to JJ’s for rockin’ my order so quickly!
I can’t think of a single flaw with any Selentino hat.. ever, they’re near perfect. Compared to the big US brand that also starts with “S” it’s like night and day, Selentino is thick,luxurious NDA designed so well, I LOVe the bow on that hat, the big square? They blow away the other “S” brand, no comparison.. You did well!!
@@KTGHATS The Sage color is amazing. It's definitely green in the sunshine, but looks almost brown in different lighting. I wasn't sure if I was going to like Sage color. But the more I wear the hat, the more I like this color.
I think I will buy this hat from Selentino for christmas. I am my own Santa. Looking at their web site I was pleasantly surprised by the prices, I expected it to cost more but indeed, it is fun the same range and a little cheaper than comparable Stetsons. The more I read the more attractive some of the European and Canadian hat makers become. I have a fawn Akubra coming and believe I may give myself a navy Queen (Hamilton) at Christmas, for being such a good boy.
Selentino has a lot of,colors in that hat , you can go directly to them, or I saw the navy queen for sale at Al’s Hat Shop for $80 alshatshop.com/products/queen-1 he has black or navy on sale form$80 bucks
Hi Kevin I enjoy all your videos. I want the Hamilton looks like a beautiful! I want the tan color. I normally wear a 57cm. Should I order a 56cm? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Only this video because I needed my iPad pro to show the photos of the hat..so I recorded it on my phone, I assure u, it's just the one video. I didn't want to use my cell phone for pics..but in hindsight,maybe I should have..thx. yeah, I needed the iPad pro for the photos of the hat.. so no mic, just a cell.. Apologies 😎✌️
Hi Kevin. My favourite hat factory is Polkap. In my opinion Polkap company produces hats of the highest quality. They produce fur felt not only for Selentino but also for many models of Stetson hats. Have you heard of them?
I’ve seen that name : “Skoczowska Fabryka Kapeluszy Polkap SA” and I knew they made hat bodies, on the wholesale level. yes.. but I didn’t know they made hats too, Selentino / Tonak is a classy,classy hat.. most of the felt made in the Czech Republic is generally better than the average Stetson fedora felt, its high quality.. I like it all, I’ve never had any issues with a single Czech hat before, they’re very consistent and fine quality
Hello Kevin. Wondering if you can help me with a question that I have regarding hat size to buy. When I measure my head it is 59 centimetres. I am looking at ordering an Akubra. Should I order a size 59 or should a go up to size 60. My head shape is a long oval shape.
Order true to size but measure a few times, at the brow bone, slightly above the ear,pull the tape as tight as u want a hat to feel. Round to nearest cm, if between sizes,round to the larger size. But no, if u are dead on 59, get 59. If u are between sizes, go for the bigger size. Measure 4-5x to make sure..if exactly 59, buy the true size, (unless u are between two sizes,then go w the larger size)
RB, u might ask Benji or Colin when u order, they used to run a little big, but I haven’t seen the new batch, I assumed they were like the older ones, but u never know.. might be safer to make sure w those guys, but I remember them running a bit larger, just a bit,not a lot though.
Hey Kevin - glad I watched this video. Was just about to purchase the Hamilton in 5 3/8(59), which is my normal size in a Stetson. Is it worth ordering the 59 and just add extra padding or will my head still be swimming in it? Your site is out of size 58 in the whiskey.
That’s hard to say, I would buy it that way myself..I’d go that way. tell them you’re a 59 and ask if they could include some padding with it. Ask if they can toss in some padding.. I think it’ll be okayw the padding, probably just right. But it’s hard, I haven’t been to work in a while, and I remember them running a little large, but how much..I can’t say, it’s been a while. personally, I’d go that way, but I always feel safer on the larger side.. try it, u can always send it back for a refund, I think you’ll be okay if they send the padding. they’ll also order that 58 for you and call you if you ask Benji.,they don’t take too long to order,
@@KTGHATS Thanks Kevin for always responding to us viewers!! This has been very helpful and I ended up ordering the Hamilton in my normal size from you all. I actually have some padding so I should be good! Will return/exchange if needed. Have a Happy Holidays!! 🤘🏾
LT Davis it’s basically an outback hat that comes open crown, if you shape it up with a teardrop or center crease ,it looks like a typical Australian outback style. Like a Stetson Dune, etc.. but essential, you’re right, it’s a crossover, snap brim, western felt, lot of elements of fedoras and westerns both
Cool guitar strap! And I’m really thinking about the Hamilton! Attractive hat!
Moving away from the Saxon and seriously looking at this hat. Looks like it will check all the boxes.
Better felt quality by far
@@KTGHATS Just picked up a Hudson in brown. Looking forward to my first JJ purchase.
Nice talk. I'm CNNed out. Thanks for a great informative diversion. Be safe. 👍☮️🌞🦠😷🎸
Daisy Chase yeah, that stuff will drain ya. I try to read a headline or two a day.. I watch goofy UA-cam videos,
the news makes me too depressed.

I want the Hamilton looks like a beautiful!
I want the tan color.
I normally wear a 57cm. Should I order a 56cm?
Thanks and keep up the good work.
It runs a size larger than Stetson and other brands. Yes, most likely a 56
Pump up the volume Kevin please, have a hard time hearing you, thanks for all the good knowledge.

Bartłomiej Dera neato, looks like interesting stuff

I have the selentino pork pie and love it. I think they're really underrated.
They're so authentic,the shapes,colors,the lining,the wind cord.. totally.
"None more black" from the movie This Is Spinal Tap comes to mind. Lol.
Stephen Garen yeah!...totally
Hey Kevin what’s up my friend, I’m about to order the Hamilton in whiskey , I wear a 60 did I hear you say they fit are true to size
RB King yes, fairly..but they used to run a little bigger than Stetson though, just a bit.. I’ll assume they still do

Just ordered the whiskey. If that royal blue one shows up I'd jump on it with both feet. That would probably void the warranty, eh?
George Brooks wow, great choice! Wear it well buddy!
