I purchased this for the 3 yr old boy next door after he was smitten by the conductor in a book that I read him. I was disappointed that the stripes and wording were in gold rather than yellow. Might be classier for someone older for a Halloween costume, but I preferred the bright yellow for a toddler's dress up outfit. Another thing that was not mentioned by other reviewers is that the package states that it is not for use by children under the age of 14 and nowhere on the site did it state 14+ which would have left me searching for another hat. For older children the quality seems to be pretty good for the price. I just wonder if the minimum age warning is concern that lettering will come off and end up in the mouth or if the fabric dye is toxic. With so many imported toys making the news because of lead content in paint or other toxic ingredients, I would have liked to have known about the minimum age requirement prior to ordering and receiving this item.
