I bought this hat because I liked the style and needed something for those occasional cold days.  Hat was delivered quickly and looked just like advertized.  However I have a longer head than the hat was shaped for so it did not fit quite properly.  Fortunately in Texas there are Western wear stores everywhere with hat departments.  I had it reshaped to my head for free and it fit fine.  The hat guy said that because it's made of pure wool it will be harder to keep a shape if not worn all the time. He said if it loses shape to put a blowdryer to the band just before you wear it and it will shape to your head again.  Other than that, great looking casual hat for the price.
