Awesome hat!

Originally ordered the wrong size and the process for switching to the new size was super-easy and quick. Inaugurating the hat on a trip to Hawaii and putting it through it's paces in a tropical environment and it has performed admirably. The hat fits like a dream and I highly recommend it! This is my fourth hat through Conner and am happy to be a faithful customer!!

I have the hat from a previous purchase. I like it. I ordered the same size I already had and it was much larger than my original hat so I sent it back. I wear 7 5/8”. Your sizing is now wrong
