I bought this hat for a friend who had a severe facial accident and felt very self concious in public. The brim is wide and floppy enough so that she feels quite comfortable when she wears it. We are both impressed with the quality and texture of the material and the whole structure of the hat. This is now becoming her hat of choice when working in the yard and when fishing. I would love to get one for myself, but I'm not what you would call a hat person. Plainly speaking I just don't look good in any type of hat. If you like hats and find yourself in the market, this is a must try. It doesn't seem to get dirty, wrinkle or shrink. Awesome hat!
