Cabela/Stetson hat

[Erik]

Cabelas has the following in their lineup:

"Designed exclusively for Cabela's customers, this is a rugged, sharp-looking Gun Club rendition of Stetson's Three Forks hat featuring a 2-1/2" brim. This hat's body is rabbit and hare fur with a teardrop-style, pinch front crown..."

So basically it looks like a Three Forks with rabbit and hare fur/felt.

They are $89.95, and I have some Cabelas cash to burn.

Any thoughts? (I've read up on modern Stetsons...)

Thanks in advance - Erik

Three Forks

I have a Three Forks that I got about 8 years ago. I has held up good in all kinds of camping situations. [rain, wind, sun and more rain]
I cant say it hasnt tapered but then the Three Forks isnt a strict fedora style hat. But all in all it has been and still is a good hat.

Why Not

If you have "Cabela's Cash" to burn, you could do worse. Why not!! Any left over send it my way.

Oh, but my "Cabelas wish list" faaaar exceeds my "Cabelas cash."

Thanks for the advise.

My experience with 3 forks

I ordered a sage 3 forks from Cabela's at their sale price several months ago. When I first saw it in the box, I thought it was great (had a nice liner), but when I took it out of the box, the bash was off-center and it had an extra dent. I was so disappointed I sent it back and did not even consider exchanging it.
Then, a few months later I saw the exact same hat on ebay and took a chance. I won it for the opening bid and when it arrived, I was very pleased to see that the hat had no defects! :eusa_clap

I don't know what happened to the quality control of my first hat. Maybe the inspector was on a coffee break, or retired. I suggest you inspect yours carefully. Hopefully it will be fine and you will enjoy it, for it is a good hat for the money!

Three Forks - Sage

I purchased my Cabella's three forks Stetson from Ebay for about 10 bucks. I believe Grapevine Hill was the storefront on the 'bay.

It is easily trained into bash variations. Mine has taken on a funky non-uniform roll to the brim, that makes the hat look pretty abused when it is off, but completely different when being worn.

I like to think that is how the "Sinatra" look is achieved, (now if I could only sing).
