It's ok

The hat looks great on the site and the felt is nice, but beware of how the hat fits your head. Of course, a lot of this depends on preference, but:

1) Get a smaller size than you think you need. I usually wear a size L hat from a mall-based competitor, so I figured I'd get the L/XL here. It fits large and there is some extra space in front of the ears that looks a bit awkward.

2) I prefer a laid-back cap kind of feel, the kind that fits pretty snug to the top of your head and looks less "urban." This hat will fit pretty high on your head and have lots of space between your head and the top of the hat. If you are the type of person who wears your brims flat with the stickers still on them, that may work for you. I like them more pressed against my head. To achieve that look with this hat, you need to pull it down to where it is pushing on your ears.

Despite all this, I still wear the hat sometimes and like it.
