I was looking for a casual yet somewhat formal hat so I could get more out of it without paying a lot and this hat works perfect. It will be warmer in the winter months and where I live it rains a lot in winter too. If you think your borderline between a size you probably want to go with the smaller size. Very nice, pinstripe is darker than I expected but is prefered for what I wanted. Shipped very quick, once on the road was here within 2 days. Very happy, good business.
