Very happy with this purchase. I’ve had a few stingy’s from a lesser manufacturer, and was perfectly happy with them. I’ve worn those same hats for a number of years, and it’s become my established look. I decided to spend a little more this time, and I’m glad I did. The hat arrived safely and dent-free, in a proper hat box. I followed the sizing guidelines, and ended up with a perfect fit. I go a little big, do they ride low. Super soft wool, yet keeps its shape. I train the brim with an upward shove, every time I put it on. Very nice silk lining, wide band, and sans the feather. I rock this lid with everything, and anything. If you think you’re not cool enough to wear this hat, think again ! If you’ve been looking at it, just get it ! That’s my honest review.
