I chose this for a "steal it gift exchange" this holiday knowing there would be at least two (ages 11 and 27) who would want this hat.  Adorable and it stole the show!  The 27 year old won out and yes, it's big but he turned the hem under (easy) and wore it home that night.  He loved how soft it was and the cuteness factor is off the charts!  Very pleased and how can you not smile??
I don't know if it'll be durable or not -- it seemed sturdy enough. The Pikachu hat is a hit!
