Bought this for a 1920s event. It was too big for my partner's head, so I glued some felt strips to the inside, to make a tighter fit. It arrived with one side crumpled/pushed in, but it pushed right back out and looked fine.

Quality was great, perfect for a costume-y event. Does not look cheap on. We did run into a person who had rented a real, fancy bowler hat (silk lined, etc), and it looked pretty cheap compared to that, but on its own this is a pretty sweet bowler hat for the price.
