I bought this hat for my Husband for Christmas and he really likes it. He is very impressed by how warm it keeps his head. My only complaint is that I waited so long to order it that the brown color I wanted was sold out. I had to go with a Chesnut color and it is not very attractive. I had no choice..my husband really wanted one of these hats and he was so surprised that I pulled it off. He was even more surprised that I found one in Leather. It is very soft! The delivery was very fast and LL Bean kept me up to date on line. the quality of this item is excellent. I would highly recommend this item to others.
