MONTE CRISTO Classic Fedora Straw Panama Hat Sun Wide Brim Lightweight Beach UPF50+ Men or Women

This is one of the best made high quality straw hat that I have owned in twenty five years of wearing them. Nice looking hat that is easily shaped to yours design. I am constantly getting compliments on this hat and glad I made the purchase. Highly recommend especially at it’s price point. Buy one you will not be disappointed.

Comfortable, well-made hat. I have a big head, and have a little trouble finding hats that fit in stores; the 7 5/8 is perfect. Doesn't roll up, but it's still a very good hat for the price.The hat arrived a little crushed, but Customer Service responded immediately and helpfully, and steaming and shaping it a little as they suggested did the trick.When I bought mine, they were available in both Ivory and Natural; mine is Ivory, and beautiful: hope they offer it again soon. Meanwhile, I like it so much that I'm buying a Natural, too.

I ordered the Large since I have a problem of hats fitting too snug that leave a crease along my forehead. This size has a looser fit and I love the shape! Since the brim slopes down in the front and back, it doesn't give you a typical hipster fedora vibe with the brim going upwards in the back. Perfectly covers my face at the pool. Looks great with my Ray Bans. Didn't like that I it wasn't Prime and paid for shipping but well worth it for the quality of hat. Of course since its straw you have to be careful not to press down on it too hard so my only worry is if it will last me a long time.

I looked at various sources for the hat I wanted. This hat appeared to be the best value for the money. I ordered the hat on Saturday and it arrived on my doorstep Monday while I was at work. State of Washington to St. Louis in 2 days. I took care to get the hat sized correctly measuring twice and ordering what I thought was the low side of the scale. It is slightly large but I have filled the band with sponge filler so that it suits me. As you can see from the advertising for this hat there is a kit for that. I was a little disappointed as I thought the hat would be a brighter white as it appears in the photo. It is natural which is as advertised so that's my bad. Having said all of the above I would not return it as I expect it to perform the function and it is fashionable.

This brim makes wrinkled shirts and dirty jeans look like you got style. Well built, looks great and carries an air about it.Not for wanna-bees. Ain't no beaches in Colorado but you can wear it hiking or just cooling. Measure your head so it fits down just a little, then go about your business.

I bought this as a cheap beater hat to keep the sun off my head while hiking and doing yard work. It fits the bill as a cheap beater hat, except it wasn't really that cheap. It kind of feels like a cheap hat that's trying to pretend to be more fancy than it is, so it can charge a higher price than it really deserves. I own some really good Panama hats, so I have a sound basis for comparison. This is about 1/4 as nice as my cheapest good Panama for about 1/2 the price. Not the best math, but maybe my perception of hat values hasn't caught up to inflation.For what this hat set me back, I was kind of expecting more. It wasn't blocked very well, and the fold in the brim doesn't line up with the crease in the crown. It's pretty thin and easily damaged, and the fit is pretty loose, even after using the supplied foam rubber insert things.It is what it is though. It's a decent hat that has stood up to lots of soaking sweats. I got the light colored hat band to make sweat less obvious. It hasn't actually cracked yet, but I feel like this will only last a season or two before it dies.The hat would have been a great value for about half what I paid for it. For the kind of money this hat cost, I was expecting more. On the bright side though, it stood up to a massive thunder shower that got it quite thoroughly wet, and that didn't diminish it at all.

I bought this hat for my son to wear to the Kentucky Derby this year. He has a very large head and it was hard to find a hat to fit, but the largest size in this hat fit perfectly. He loves this hat.I gave this hat 5 stars because, as everyone knows, it was a non-stop rainy mess at the Derby this year. Not only did this hat hold up in the rain, but it retained its shape and dried to look just like it did when we got it out of the box.Very pleased with my purchase.

This item was a little pricey!
