Bought this for my husband, who is a big guy with a big head and tons of hair. The hat fits perfectly thanks to the stretch, which isn't too stretchy like the cheap beanies you can buy. It's a good fabric, and the seam on the cuff is just tight enough to keep it on, and has kept its shape. It is sturdy, too. Was worn almost every day this winter, washed several times (cold, low agitation, air dried and not in the dryer) and cleaned up nice, didn't shrink, didn't fade. You want a beanie hat? Get this hat, you'll love it.
