Okay, first of all this hat is NOT the one in the picture.  Notice the size in the picture?  This hat is at least 1/2 of that size.  Notice the color?  This hat is a dull brown.  The hat this company ships is really an Australian outback hat with some braids sewn into the back.  The hat in the picture is, without a doubt, not the same one this company ships - but the tag on the hat states it is a Deluxe hat with beaded braids - and I guess it is - an Aussie Outback hat with beaded braids.  If you are looking for a pirate hat, look somewhere else.
