This is a beautifully made hat. High quality materials, lovely design.

It is so huge that it's almost ridiculous. Perhaps if you are over six feet in height, it will look fabulous. But at five and change, I feel a bit silly wearing it.

It also becomes floppy rather quickly, especially on a humid day.

You can't really fit through a regular doorway wearing it.

It does not have a chin strap, so will not stay on in more than a gentle breeze.

It will cover you and a baby if you are babywearing.
