Frontier Heritage & Unforgiving Durability in 4X Buffalo Felt
The Stetson Broken Bow 4X is built for those who demand genuine frontier character without sacrificing structural resilience. Handcrafted in the USA from Stetson’s proprietary 4X buffalo felt, this hat is noticeably tougher and more weather-resistant than standard wool felt. Buffalo fibers are naturally durable and water-repellent, creating a dense, hard-wearing felt that stands up to heavy rain, blazing sun, and years of hard outdoor use without losing its form.
The Iconic Sloped Gus Crown & Wide 4 3/8" Brim
The defining feature of the Broken Bow is its architectural 4" x 5" sloped Gus crown. Originating with 19th-century working cowboys who pinched the front of their hats low to cut through high prairie winds, the Gus crease provides a sharp, forward-raked profile that commands attention. Paired with a generous 4 3/8" brim, it delivers serious sun, wind, and rain protection whether you are working outdoors or heading into town.
Studded Leather Detailing & Premium American Craftsmanship
The hat’s rugged attitude is grounded in thoughtful detailing: a genuine leather hat band adorned with antique brass-tone studs, a traditional side tie, a removable turkey feather, and the subtle Stetson hat bar. Inside, a soft genuine leather sweatband molds comfortably to your head as you wear it, while a breathable full satin liner protects the crown structure. Each hat comes shipped in an authentic rigid Stetson hat box for secure storage and travel.
