This hat is for my son who is totally obsessed with "sidewalk cops" on YouTube.  The hat smells heavily of some type of burnt plastic.  Did anyone else's have a bad odor?  The badge on the front is rolled into kind of a "C" shape.  I had to sew it into place with a piece of cardboard behind it.  I think this would be fine for Halloween if you can get past the odor.  If anyone has any tips on how to get rid of the smell let me know.
