Understanding Hat X Ratings
The “X” rating system in western hats originally referred to the percentage of beaver fur felt used in felt hats — the higher the X, the more beaver fur and the higher the quality. In straw hats, the X rating has been adapted to indicate the overall quality grade of the straw material. An 8X straw hat represents a higher quality tier with finer, more tightly woven straw compared to standard straw hats.
