My husband collects and wears hats (and canes). I purchased this for his upcoming birthday. I was surprised at the high quality of the hat for the price. The hat is very handsome. One of the selling points of this particular hat was the feather; none of my husbands hats have feathers, so I thought it would be a nice touch. The hat arrived with no  feather. I noticed another reviewer's hat also arrived without a feather. It's not a deal breaker; I'm keeping the hat, but just be aware that you may not get the hat exactly as pictured.
