Unless you're going to put a lot of work into fixing it, don't buy this hat. Just opened the box and I am less than happy.
It is flimsy like other reviews have stated, the wire that runs the vertical length of the cone only hold the hat erect if you get it at juuust the right angle and then stop touching it. If there were three of them equally spaced around the cone it would make a lot more sense.
The face is hinted at, but will need a ton of shaping and probably sewing to make it proper.
The wire around the brim was poking out a bit, but slid back in with some adjustment.
The "patches" add nothing but do make it look like a scarecrow hat, if that's what you want that part is done for you, but I'll have to remove them.
It is not sized for adults, at least not me who has thick hair. I doubt it will stay on my head for long.
The worst part? You can see in my photos, the sash is sewn on BACKWARDS. I'm going to have to rip the stitches and sew it back on the right way round.

TL/DR: If you want a starter kit to make your own hat, this is for you. If you want a proper Potter universe Sorting Hat right out of the box, look elsewhere.
