I read most of the reviews and thought I would try it out myself.  The reviews that state that the ears look more like bear ears are correct.  The picture shows them tilted forward but when they come out of the package you can see they look really round.  But I do like the hat.  The fur is fine, it is not exclusivly soft but it is soft enough - not too rough as some reviews have mentioned.  The flaps are long enough that I do not need to bend my arms to put them in the paw pockets.  Theere is a small zippered pocket area for money etc at the base of the hat, this was a great surprise becasue it is not in the description.

All in all it is a decent hat. I would buy another one.  And I just might get one of the lighter color ones. Since the seller was so nice, I might ask which one best suits what I am looking for.  ;-D
