Excellent hat for my husband on our cruise.  He has a large head so the XL fits nicely without being too snug and is a classier alternative to traditional straw hats.  I worry that hats can easily cross the line from debonaire to geriatric but this one just looks casually sophisticated.  I see that other reviewers have complained about how poorly it was shipped to them but currently in July 2018, we received this in a hatbox-like carton.  The hat itself packed nicely in a suitcase and came out wrinkle-free when packed correctly (fully open with soft clothing filling the hat so it keep its shape).  It's neither heavy nor hot --it breathes in the heat but doesn't sunburn his balding head.  We were in extremely hot and humid climates so naturally the crown showed salty sweat at the end of the day but it rinsed off easily and dried quickly without adversely affecting the shape, color or fabric.  And this nice hat made my husband look even more handsome in our travel pics.
