Like one or two other items I have bought for "incidental" use in presentations and the like, I checked reviews of "Jester Caps" relatively closely. Items meant for "costume" and "disquise" use are commonly pretty flimsy. The usual review says they fall apart after one or two uses. But here, this one reviewer had a good experience, and I can echo that with one small caveat.

The construction and materials are frist rate. This is NOT a piece of clothing which will fall apart after one use. The material is a strong felt / velour and the colors are strong (I suspect one will want to be very careful to wash it in cold water. The inside has a satin lining. The tag says "all new materials" and I believe it. If properly stored, it will serve for years. It is worth the $20 cost.

My one small reservation is that the cap size is on the small size in circumference and in the depth of the hemisphere. There is no size adjustment provision and no elastic in the headband. As is, it fit my small to medium head quite nicely, but there was some danger of loosing it if I was not sure it was quite well pulled down as far as it would go. With the big, floppy bell arms, I would not trust this outside in a high wind. But, with those reservations, this did my job perfectly, and it will do it again for a long time.
