I ordered two of these hats so my husband and I would have cowboy hats to wear on Halloween since our kids were dressed up as cowboys.  They were pretty cheap and worked for my purposes.  However, as I had been warned by previous reviewers, they were fairly cheap looking, with straw sticking out at odd angles from the hats.  Another problem I had not heard about previously:  one of the hats I received was stained brown and the other clearly was not, making them two different colors.  When I order two of the same product, I expect them to look at least somewhat similar.  The stained brown one looked much nicer than the one than wasn't.  I think the unstained one was basically defective and hadn't been stained at all, but I didn't have time to exchange it before Halloween.  It wasn't a huge deal, but you'd think that whoever packed the box would notice that the two identical products were not in fact identical. So ... it's hard to know what color or quality hat you'll get, but it will do if you're looking for a cheap costume cowboy hat.
