I read the other reviews about the hat being less slouchy than pictured.  That was true.  However, the material and is stretchy and will probably become more slouchy with wear.  I have a larger than average woman's head, and the hat is deep enough to cover my ears.  The price of the hat is lower than most of this style, so if you are wary of the sizing, you won't lose much ordering it and giving it a try.
