I bought this for the one day each year that I wear it...Dr. Seuss' b'day:)  My Kindergartners love it when I greet them at the door wearing this.  It's much sturdier than my old one...it's got a thin ring of metal to keep the brim in shape, and seems well put together.  I had to roll up a piece of construction paper and stick it inside to keep the hat from flopping over, but it's tall and made of felt, so that's sort of a given.  I teach with 5 other Kindergarten teachers, and in my 9 years of teaching I have yet to see a Dr. Seuss hat that doesn't flop over without a little creativity.  It was an easy fix and the hat looked great.  Very happy.
