A really nice hat (5/5) | Feb 22, 2012 | Jim | Buena Park CA US |
| So I get to be the first to review this hat... I had been looking at this hat for awhile now. It was one of the first straw hats that appealed to me but what I really wanted was a hat just like this one only with a brown ribbon band. Scouring the internet became a fruitless effort. The right hat found but too small sizes, brown band found but wrong color hat or nice color hat and band but way too expensive or they were the short brimmed trilby. I finally went with this one and I'm glad I did. The hat is a great price compared to others. The toyo straw has a thick feeling to it but is still light. The fedora is not a stiff straw but very flexible and could be knocked around and still retain its shape. This would be a good hat one could take on a long trip or air travel and not have a good fur felt fedora along to worry about getting banged up. The hat is better looking in person even with a black band which looks good despite my wanting brown. I wore it on a hot day today and found it comfortable. I did sweat a little on the forehead but the cotton sweat band wicked it up. I wear a size 7 7/8 to 8 hat and the XXL fit prefect. For everyday sun wear this is a great hat and good looking as well. | ||||
