Got this for Halloween. Just needed something that didn't look like the junk I was seeing in party supply stores. Also didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. This hat was very reseaonably priced and so I gave it a shot. So glad I did! All wool felt construction, no card board or any of that cheap material. I have kind of a big head and not only did it fit like a glove, the material actually contoured to fit the shape of my head. Easily the best money I've spent all year on something I absolutly did not need for more than one night. I can't wait to have a reason to wear it again.
