Absolutely stunning hat, incredibly well made. Excellent addition to any high quality themed costume.

A thick wool hat sure to keep your head warm. Hotter than 20 degrees c (68 f), it get a little stuffy. I never wore it with a coif and it still felt nice against the head. A suitable amount of pilling after 1 year of regular use. I plan to trim the pilling soon though because it is noticeable. The point held up nicely the whole time and if it ever flopped, it was easy to shape back in place with just my hands. In light rain, it doesn't soak up very well and water rolls off kind of easily. It is still damp though and can be dried away from heat to not damage it further. It's great with any normal outfit and I get positive comments on it in public. The black version shows up great against a lighter backdrop. I think I'm going to buy another one in green though because black feels a little formal.

Heavy wool hat, great for the price and it shipped quickly.

If you find it too small I suggest you soak it in water and stretch it over your head, works like a charm.
