Just a note that this is a gift for Hubby, who loves Barmah hats and will likely love this as well, although it is a bit larger than the 71/4 the XL is advertised as (I am a 7 1/4 myself and it falls down on me). Like all Barmah hats it is well made and looks likely to stand up to years of abuse. He wanted something cooler than his all leather drover to wear while cruising and this should fit the bill nicely.

Mine came with a stampede string, which I would have liked to know ahead of time as I ended up ordering another one from a different vendor who also charged shipping, so I am out twice the cost of the dratted string itself, even without the added cost of a return.
