I bought a tan one many years ago and it is still in perfect condition. I wash in with the regular laundry. this year I purchased a black one for Aruba and I'm breaking it in. It is starting to soften as I sent it through the wash. Great hats, as they don't blow off in the winds of Aruba and Cancun!

I liked the picture of the model wearing this hat it a one size fit all was too small for me and I could not get it on with the band inside.  So if you wear a large size do not expect this one to fit.  I also was disappointed that so many of your hats are OS so I had little choice.

I liked the hat very much, but it was too small. Had to send it back, I am sorry to say.
