"Overall nice hat"
Well made. Its size was just about big enough to fit and as soon as it was washed gently in cold water, it shrank a bit which now makes it too small to be comfortable on my head. A shame because a very lovely hat otherwise.

"Lightweight hat, well-made"
Match this with anything outdoorsy that needs a touch of style. Nicely done. Not too heavy. Could even use it as an indoor hat if your place is not well heated.
