Siggi, please don't label a hat beige when it clearly is not.  What arrived at my house could be called linen or unbleached muslin, but beige it is not.  The product description model in Amazons photo looks 100% better in this hat than I doit fits her head and lays well.  Perhaps it is the placement of the hats two main side seams and the two wires that run throughout the hats brim that make it so weirdly shaped.  No matter which way I bend the brim, the hat looks floppy, ill-fitting and cheap.  I liked the way the polka dots outlined the rim of the hat, and that they're slightly visible (or at least thats the way the description photo makes it look).  My rim shows no glimpse of polka dots, unless the wires are bent upwardsthen I look like a goofy sailor.

I bought this hat for casual outdoor use, but the very light color will get dirty in no time, so I hope it washes up well.  Ill still use it, but overall, this is a very disappointing purchase.  The hats color is not beige and it just doesnt fit well.
