This hat, made in Srilanka, NOT China, is well made and does a good job of keeping the sun off one's head/face/neck while gardening, mowing the grass, or drinking a beer (You can't mow all the time now, can you?).  You are able to adjust the brim to make your own statement; I choose to turn my side and front brims at 90-degree angles so I can dream I'm Crocodile Dundee. . . or my Uncle Mort.  It is not "The goofy-looking" hat I had expected.  The adjustable head size makes it a comfortable fit, and the chin draw string saves you from long, embarassing hat chases, particularly if you live in the Western Willamette Valley of Oregon where the southwest wind has it's way every evening.  I have washed it, and it retains it's shape and color well.  I like this hat.
