The quality for the hat was pretty good for its size and it fits the average adult woman's head nicely. We got several hats of this type for a corporate outing and this was by far the most flashy and girly. It does have a little costumey look to it and you won't be mistaken for a real sailor but it was cute, held up to a night at sea and a day on the road and photographed well. I think for the price it is a really fun and cute choice.
