I was looking for a classic-looking felt or wool hat and came across this one. I immediately fell in love with the color and simple style. The color is just as beautiful as pictured, although it looks a tad more red to me in person. It is a bit snug on my head ( I have a pretty big head) just so that I can't pull it all the way down, but I can wear it the way it's meant to be worn. I love this hat and I may even buy one in another color!
