“Interesting, will compliment wool well.”

“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.”
