I read the few reviews, and was worried that the hat would be too small for my son (who is 6). The hat just fits him (and he has a large head) - so I am delighted.

As an adult, I have a fairly small circumference head - and I can squeeze it on my noggin, too.

I was expecting this would by high on the cheesy quotient factor... the picture makes it seem so... but in person, it's kind of charming.

It isn't rigid in that area where it says "pilot" (above the brim) - the way a real hat would be... but that's about all that's lacking to make it look more realistic.

My son likes it, and wears it forwards and backwards... and it's fun to watch him pretend play being a pilot.
