The hat is warm with a cute pattern, and I have no complaints about the quality.  However, be aware that despite being described as suitable for men or women, it's small.  I'm an average-sized woman with an average-sized head and it's really snug.  Also, keep in mind that the ties are not very long--there's no way to tie them.  I think, after looking at other people I see wearing this style hat, that is intentional, but it wasn't something I anticipated.
