I love this hat so much and can attest to its quality. I wore it to Cowboy Carter (what it was made for) and felt like a cowboy queen. On the way home, I rode a bike and the hat flew off my head and into the traffic and was run over by about 10 cars. When the traffic stopped I went to get it and was delighted to see that the hat is still in perfect shape, just a little dirty. Can't ask for more than that.
