Stetson Lariat 5X Black 75 Profile Felt Cowboy Hat Size:6 7/8 so the leather shifts subtlyThe Lariat is Stetson's 5X fur felt western hat in black, made in the U. S. A. This is the 75 profile: a 4 5 8" cattleman crown with a 4" brim. What 5X means. On a felt hat the X rating describes the quality of the fur blend the higher the number, the finer the felt and the better it holds its shape. Straw hats use the X letter for something different, where it measures how fine and tight the weave is, so the numbers don't compare across materials.
