I bought this from Amazon. These Ascots are top quality. I usually wear a Stetson leather Ascot and this is equal to that in quality if not better. The leather is nice and thick and blemish free and the finish is tops. The bill is attached via snaps, something Stetson fails to include so I have to say the Kbethos is superior in that respect.

The only issue I had is the size. These seem to run a bit small, I wear a Small/Medium in the Stetson and all my other hats and they just fit right, this one is slightly tight and while leather can stretch a little I'm not so sure about the sweatband since it is made of a different material that might not take well to stretching. Given that, I've asked the vendor if I should try to wear it in and see if it stretches just a little which would make for a comfortable fit or return/replace for the next larger size.

I really like this leather Ascot though, the quality and attention to detail stitching makes it a winner and I recommend you consider this make and style if you like leather ascots. My recommendation is that if your head is closer to the end of the medium size then try the next size up. If your head is in the middle of the small-medium range then the sizing should work out perfectly.

Kudos too for being made in the USA. It sort of makes you feel good to own it and while customers not of the USA might not see the benefit, I sure do, its always nice to have something made in your own country, especially when it's a high quality product like this leather ascot.
