I have never loved how hats look on my large head, but this one is cute enough and very practical. I had two trips planned that really put the "crushable" attribute to the test, and, unfortunately the hat did not come out unscathed. The first trip involved packing the hat in a duffle back for two flights, and near continuous use for hiking (including through canyons narrower than the hat). I wasn't sure whether it would be better to crush the hat into a flat circle, or use the "taco fold" and try to protect it. I opted for taco fold. It started to get some funny kinks in the brim. The second trip was five days of camping on the river. Three of those days, I needed to wear a helmet and pack the hat away in my waterproof duffle. The hat continued to get more kinks in the brim, and eventually I discovered that there is a plastic piece in the next to last row of the weaving, which broke and started poking out in one spot. I am a little bit crafty, so, unless Conner wants to fix it, I plan to find some light wire and either try to run the wire through the same channel as the plastic, or decoratively weave it around that row of raffia.

As someone who has a larger than most sized head (lots of brains!) finding a comfortable hat is a challenge. My Tuscany, one size up, hat is a dream! So comfortable and cute. And it has a leather strap under the chin to keep it in place from wind. Five stars! Thank you, Conner Hats!

Love this hat. Wore it at the beach just this weekend. Great coverage and not too hot. So happy to find larger sizes. Thanks for the One Size Up!

I bought this hat for my wife as an early Christmas present. She loves it! The brim in the front stays up so that she can see what she's doing, unlike the one she bought some time back from Goodwill. She tossed the old one in just a day or two and has commented on how much she likes this hat a number of times.

This was a (Christmas) gift to a southern Texas mom that just loves every feature of this summer crown.
