Received the boxed hat, labeled fragile, without visible damage.
Upon opening, the hat looked to have been compressed potentially as the balance of the top creases was off significantly, to the point that I’m going to have to steam and attempt to reshape the top of the hat, of which I have zero experience doing. It’s concerning because the box looked well taken care of, but the contents inside say differently.
As far as fit, it is well and slightly larger than anticipated, should be able to overcome that with the size adjustment set provided with the hat.
The hat is very light, which is exactly what I was looking for with Derby days upon us.
