What a great hat!
 I had only mere days before an event so I just ordered and hoped it wouldn't be one of those sad 'party store' low quality derbys. It definitely is not!
This hat is theatre quality. It has held up to some punishment and embellishment at several events. I would have expected to pay 3x more than I did for a great quality hat like this.
I'm very happy with my purchase ( and so is my boyfriend!)
