After reading the reviews on this hat, I ordered one for my husband.  He is always reluctant to wear hats because he has a large head.  I wanted a black wool cap for him to go with a black wool coat I just purchased for him, so I went ahead and ordered this one based on all of the good reviews.  He loves it!  It fits his large head perfectly and looks really good on him.  He had me take 3 photos of him wearing the hat and new coat.  It is very soft and comfortable and it does fold up and fit nicely in his coat pocket.  I would definitely order this again.
