This is truly a classic fedora and the firm wool material ensures that the brim will keep its shape when snapped into place. It's a great value - inexpensive enough to use every day but classy enough to wear as a dress hat. Lots of color and size options, too. My navy hat is a deep, rich color. I have another Capas hat and they are a well respected maker. This style runs a bit large but the sizing tape Del Monico supplies will make sure the fit is comfortable.
