My sister is a wanna-be chef. For her birthday I got her a chef's coat and for Christmas I picked up this to match. It's adjustable, so whether your head is big or small you can make it work for you. The hat seems to be made of sturdy material, and she really enjoys that she can adjust it with the velcro to her comfort level. If you want it for a costume or wanna-be chef in your life, this is the hat you're looking for and for the price (at least when I picked it up) you can't go wrong.
