This hat is just as I expected - attractive, large brim that can be shaped, and crushable for traveling in a suitcase. I have a larger than average head though and the hat is a pretty tight unless I wear it shifted slightly back. I realize being tight is good for a windy day but it is too tight even for that and gives me a headache without adjusting where it sits on my head. I am still keeping it because it was hard to find a hat like this at a good price and I can just wear it farther back on my head.
