My daughter wanted a black top hat for her anime character she dress as. The hat was bigger than we expected (reading another review it said hat was too small so we did order a large) but with her wig it actually worked out better that it was big because the wig takes up the extra room. The felt hat is great - it is not soft felt that would sag; it definitely keeps it shape. I am so glad we got something for her costumes that is affordable and is decent quality.
