I ordered this hat based on the good reviews it received and it is even better than expected.  The material is a firm, high quality weave that holds it's shape without the usual floppiness most oversized hats have.  It can be bent to whatever shape you like and it stays where you put it.  The black is especially elegant.  It is beautiful as is, or can be dressed up with tulle, silk flowers, etc for a more extravagant look.  I like it so much I am ordering another one!
