Let me state the positives first. It is a well made hat and is quite comfortable with a very soft touch. With that being said I consider this a urban hat or one for warmer days. This would get a 5 star if one is looking for a town hat that is stylish and places form and comfort over function and performance. The knit is too loose and as such allows too much air to pass through even with the slightest breeze or in my sake colder temps. Secondly I have a fairly large head and really need to pull the hat down to get a double roll to cover my ears completely. For me this hat will sit in the backup bin for warmer days or when I go out to dinner and want something to take the chill off and look nice.
