I was never into hats but thought it will be good to keep some sun off my face and eyes, as it is sunny here on most days of the year. Hat is machine washable & can be folded into 3 folds and kept in handbag.
Color didn't run which I am thankful. Wasnt too creased or out of shape after washing.
Adults here tend keep to khaki, black, blue, grey, green hats so I get stares with this hat !
