Handsome, but NOT for big heads! By S_SSF from SF, CA on 11/09/2009 Sizing: Feels full size too small Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I really liked the look of this on the website, but...either the hat is sized on the small side, or I have an unusually big head! I can't even get it to sit firmly on my head without some determined tugging (at which point it feels like it's cutting my circulation off).There's very little stretch / give to the fabric, so don't count on there being much wiggle room for the fit.[...] I guess I'll be looking for some small-headed person to give it to...

By PixPWD from Arlington ma on 11/06/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual, Comfort-oriented Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Fun and easy to wear. Playful! the trim that gives it texture could be neater. I had to trim a few straggly pieces off.
By Shoefan from New York on 10/26/2009 Pros: Lightweight, Stylish Best Uses: Casual Wear, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual, Comfort-oriented, Practical, Stylish Sizing: Feels full size too small Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This was a nice and well-made attractive hat, as the other reviews suggest. However it seemed to run very small for a beret. It was tight and just perched on the top of my head. For people with small heads, okay. Medium to large sized female heads may not work.
Interesting, will compliment wool well. By Me Myself & I from Rocket City on 10/10/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Stylish Best Uses: Casual Wear, Commuting, Evening, Travel Describe Yourself: Stylish Sizing: Feels half size too big Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have been mulling over this hat for quite some time...when a discount offer presented itself I decided to go for it.
Upon arrival I noticed that the workmanship was a bit sloppier than online images seem to represent. The knots and nubs are expected, but the texture is also fuzzy, like it had been handled. As if laundered, but not. The ornamentation is 'wiry' - that's the best way to describe the woolen texture. That bothered me slightly but not enough to send the cap back. I'll live with it. It's otherwise cool. Just wish the fuzz factor wasn't so noticeable. And even better would be to use raw/recycled silk instead.
The 'headband' fit is a bit generous, but I have that problem with all OS products; my fine hair and apparently small head make everything fit a bit looser than I'd like. However, this too can be dealt with. The hat can be moderately altered or simply worn at an angle. It sits on the head well and will take either a soft scrunch or stand without looking odd. Better than many beret in that respect. Proportion is spot-on.
I bought the black after considering the leopard...still considering the leopard...and the gray and red. Red seems the most striking online. Hmmmn.
By Scubagirl54 from Denver, CO on 10/08/2009 Best Uses: Casual Wear, Commuting Describe Yourself: Stylish, Trendy Sizing: Feels half size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This hat is adorable but you need to have a very small head to wear it. I wear L to XL in hats and I thought I would give this a try - it was too small and it does not give very much. I had to return it.
By value shopper from Des Moines on 03/27/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Stylish Best Uses: Casual Wear, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual, Comfort-oriented, Practical Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I love this hat!

By SuzieQue from Oregon on 12/07/2008 Pros: Adjustable, Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Stylish, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Evening Describe Yourself: High-end shopper Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Quality hat. So many hats I cannot wear because they itch. This one has soft inner band that is quite comfortable. Roomy, can pull low over forehead or push back. Color is a true red that would top any neutral color coat with a real stylish punch. Interesting texture. Different enough to be attractive, but not outlandish. Feminine and classy.
Betmar and Sierra Trading Post win again By CA Hat lover from SF Bay area on 12/03/2008 Pros: Adjustable, Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Stylish, Warm Best Uses: Casual Wear, Commuting, Evening, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual, Comfort-oriented, Practical, Stylish, Trendy Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought this for my daughter but may just keep it for myself! AS usual I love Betmar hats and could rely on their quality for buying from a catalog. It is stretchy enough to fit anyone's head and a design that can be adjusted, and re-adjusted and re-adjusted infinitely to suit your sense of hat style. Beret type mostly, doesnt sit up straight like in the photo unless you want it to. Really cute. Saw it in another catalog for several times this price. Sierra Trading Post strikes again!
