Got this hat for my son for halloween for his Captian Hook Costume. It's Really great quality. It's not flimsy ( like the fabric ones) it is more firm. I think it is a wool mixture. Even the trim was better quality than I though. The trim is only glued on and some spots are barrly glued. My finger bumped it and it came loose. Didn't bother me because I am removing the trim to put Vinise Lace and adding Ostrich feather boa around the top of the inside to make it look more like Dustin Hoffman's "Hook Costume" from the movie "Hook". Would recomend to everyone just be careful of the trim, worst case take a little elemers to the part if it happens to you!
