I concur with what others have said - this is a really nice hat. Two notes: (1) the string/pulls are made out of vinyl - not leather. This may matter to some who insist on leather. I find that the hat "pulls" stay latched better with this fabric, but some may still not like that look. (2) there is a thick pc. of elastic that goes around the opening and helps it to fit on your head very well. This hat is VERY comfortable and the brin is large enough to keep full day sun off my face.
