The hat I received was a small, thin, poor imitation of the hat shown in this photo. The "fur" trim is no thicker than the hat, which is much thinner than it appears in the photo. The "ball" is less than half the size of the one in the ad. I would not put the hat I received on a volunteer helper, because it would cheapen the entire "Santa" representation. I am severely disappointed. The best thing about it is Amazon's return policy.
