This is a very high-quality and stylish hat. I'm a guy and it's made for women, so I gave it to a friend of mine who loves hats (for full disclosure, I got this hat at no charge as an Amazon Vine reviewer). She absolutely loves it and wears it a lot, and tells me she gets lots of compliments on it. It has the look and feel of quality that you get with a good, well-made wool hat. She tells me that she's worn it in a light rain, and while the shape may sag a bit when wet (wool will do that), it didn't lose its shape when it dried. Overall, this is a very well-made hat with a lot of style that will be a great match for someone with a lot of personal style. There's an old saying about hats: "Don't wear a hat with more character than you," and this unique hat sort of falls into that category. It's bold character will be a great match for a woman with bold character.
