This hat looks good, but try it on, and it’s stiff, hard, uncomfortable and weighs a ton. Can’t imagine feeling cool and comfortable under the sun with such a heavy and thick straw, air will never come through. So, I can only rate it with thumbs down.

Not as nice as I thought it would be

This is a beautiful, high quality made hat. It fit me nicely. I would recommend this hat for yard/garden work or a day at the beach. Unfortunately, I had to return it as I was wanting a more formal look. I would have kept it and made it work if the brim was more flexible and I was able to shape it to my liking. The brim is very rigid and has no give to it. This is good if you want a wide brim to shade your face.

This is a beautiful hat with a very wide brim, but the sizing is not very forgiving because the hat is very stiff. As recommended, I bought a size 1/4 larger than my actual size (a 6 7/8 rather than 6 1/2). That was their smallest size, but it was too small. Also, the head of the hat is very round--so good for a person with a very round head, my head is an oval.
