Hat delivered in non-working condition

This hat has been folded to a quarter of its original size and stuffed into a very small envelope. When it arrived it was fully bent and looked like a hat that could be used as a Halloween costume. I returned it. Don't buy or you will be disappointed.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Negatives

Warning: khaki is actually yellow.

This hat is not khaki but YELLOW. My kids laughed at me when I put it on because they said it looked very girly (they didn't "woke up"). Even my more computerized wife couldn't help but laugh. The hat would be great if it was actually khaki, but it's yellow.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Negative present

Sometimes you don't know what you have until you try it.

The hat did not match the picture. At first I was upset and agreed to return the hat. I decided to give it a try anyway and it became my goto sun hat. My son plays soccer every weekend so we sit in the sun for hours and watch him play. It's light and airy and protects my balding head from the sun so I don't get sunburned all weekend. In the end I love this hat. I still want more color in the picture but this is a great hat.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • out of fashion

Hat off for men

This is not the prettiest hat. It's not stylish. This is not the work of the good people of Panama. However, he can take a hit. I have a beautiful panama hat and I almost never wear it because it doesn't get wet or wash. That hat? Getting crazy. It's ok in the rain and I stuffed it in the top of my suitcase with my shoes and it popped back out and looked really good when I got to where I was going. Wore it on a boat all day and it did a great job of blocking the sun - no neck, no face.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Made from 100% Paper - Men's

Please note that the 'papyrus' in the name does not refer to a colour. According to the label on the inside, this hat is made of 100% paper. If it's caked up and discolored from sweat, there's no good way to CLEAN it. Some websites offer 50% water/50% peroxide. I contacted support and they offered to look something up on the internet (!) but I found out the correct term is "woven paper straw hat". I'm bothered by the bulky bulk it takes on even when worn, but mine has taken on a pretty strong…

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Expandable

Too big and not pureed.

It was too big for the medium and it lost its shape in the box and although I modified it it doesn't look very good. If it had a better fit I wouldn't mind the crumpled look as I would only wear it for gardening. I would probably return it but I gave it to my brother who has a bigger head than me. Pros: Papyrus is fairly durable and will likely last longer than any straw hat. When ordering, order less than what you are wearing. Note to seller: You should be more careful when shipping this item.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some minor things
