I was told to start wearing a hat. I was never a hat kind of guy, & knew I wasn't gonna wear a baseball cap everywhere I went. I wanted something unique, and looked a long time before I found this one.

I'm really pleased with this hat. I get compliments on it wherever I go. It's light, and breathes well, so my head doesn't get too hot. I traveled to the Philippines from Florida wearing it, and when there walked 5+ miles in a funeral procession in HUMID 95 degree temps. It was very comfortable throughout the ordeal. Amazingly, the hat stayed dry while the rest of me was wringing wet.

I measured my head size pretty carefully, and had a tailor confirm; even so, it ran a Little large. I ran a couple loops of sisal (jute twine) around the hat under the hatband and that worked out well. I would have liked some different colors to choose from - a brown and a black  option at least.

I highly recommend this hat for looks, comfort, durability, and a reasonable price.
