I wanted a nice quality chef hat. This is no disposable hat. There is an adjustable clasp at the back, and easily fits my head (I measure 7 3/8 hat size/ or about 23 inch). It looks to me like it could handle a 7 3/4 (24.25 inches). Feels like nice material, but won't get too hot. Of course, it is made in China. I would love to buy something like this made in North America, but it will do what I want for a good price.
