My hat came about a week earlier than I expected. I LOVE it. I am blonde and fair and most hats are a yellow straw color which is very unflattering for me. This one is sage and black woven together, made 65% of paper? It is light on my head and the drawstring keeps it in place as it is very windy where we live. Just spent a day with it on and no sunburn. The wide brim helps cover my face and neck area nicely. Really very pleased!
