It's no secret. Cleveland, Ohio — once a prime example of major industry, expansion and prosperity — has struggled.
Many communities that once thrived are now mere shells of themselves, and it's not uncommon to see empty sidewalks, abandoned factories and boarded-up windows.
One town, however — it seems — has bounced back, and in a big way. The Waterloo Arts and Entertainment district is as alive as it ever has been, and all due to one thing — the community's absolute dedication to independent businesses.
In fact, the district claims 100 percent independence. You won't find a chain, big box or major franchise anywhere.
It's inspiring, really. A town decimated by the exit of major industry returns stronger by focusing on developing close-knit community and individual expression.
MATERIALS
Waterloo, the hat, is similar in that way. It's resilient, but not by being hard. It's a traditional men's fedora, made with fine Australian wool, and finished in a soft felt that's stiff enough to not get pushed around, but flexible enough to roll with the punches, take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.
The Waterloo features a 1 1/4" black grosgrain band.
SPECS
Brim: 2 1/2" Crown: 4 1/4"

Sizing is not correct. I purchased (3) hats w/ a great deal of enthusiasm. I’ve tried adding tape to improve fit….. helped a bit w/ (2) hats. However Burgundy hat is clearly larger than size 59.
Thanks for reaching out, and we're sorry to hear that sizing was an issue for you. It's always a tricky thing to hit, and we do our best to list on each product whether it tends to fit large or small. The different shapes of hats fit different heads differently, so we do our best to account for this with those product page scales, the foam sizing tape and ultimately our generous replacement policy. It's always our primary goal to get a hat on someone's head that they love AND fits well. Please let us know if you'd like to try a different size — happy to help however we can.

Anyone that knows me,knows I'm a huge Sneakerhead,but I'm also into hats,all kinds of them as long as they look sick,well,my new Waterloo hat is a great looking hat,wear it casual or dress it up,either way, Two Roads has done it again,great materials, super nice shape with a nice Chicago slip on the brim. Get one,get two,maybe more,I definitely have. See ya on the streets, in the Valley or somewhere else in this beautiful world.
