I purchased this hat for my wife as we both spend a lot of time outside during the summer mths attending summer festivals and her occasional craft fairs. My wife hates wearing baseball hats and is very fussy when it comes to hats in general. I purchased this hat on a whim and she loves it! The hat has all the coverage that she needs to cover her neck as well as her head and it still looks good. When we have been out this summer she has recieved numerous compliments as well as inquiries as to where she obtained a pretty and functional hat. If you are looking for a good hat for the weekend walks,concerts outside or just a hat to keep the sun off while still maintaining a feminine look ,this is worth a look!
