HAWKINSMen's Fedora

Was as ordered. Arrived in perfect condition very quickly.

Bought this hat as I needed one to be foldable for a holiday. Folded easily and with a little bit of persuasion was able to get it back in shape when on holiday. It is soft straw so was very comfortable to wear, although I bought it slightly too large. Put a bit of ribbon inside the lining and this did the trick. It is very good value for money and even if I only get a year or two out of it I think it is a very good buy.

I like the hat but I’m not sure it will stand up to folding for too long without losing its shape but I will wait and see until I’ve been on holiday with it.I hope it does withstand the rigours of folding

I have other hats with adjustable string inside the rimI just stitched a cotton line inside the insideRim then adjusted it to the correct sizeAnd tired a knot to just my size

Despite the fact it makes me look like a bit of a "well, hello there" rake, I do like it! It was slightly smaller for the size, but it still fits fairly snugly. It does the trick in hot weather, providing shade and, unlike a baseball cap, is far less sweaty. If you do produce any unpleasant 'patches' the sweat band tends to cover them. The material is durable (I have accidentally sat on mine and it sprang back into shape) so all in all recommended at the price. Top tip: don't wear it in the rain. The material will not withstand it, it is a dry weather hat only. A tit-for-tat (hat) that actually isn't tat.

Unfortunately, the hat was too large for me and I had to return it. No problem with the refund which was carried out quickly. The quality of the product was absolutely fine and I can’t fault it, just way too big for me.

We have bought 2 of these one for best & one for the garden. Look good pretty durable. Fit & look good very pleased will order again.

Hat generally OK apart from the brim which is simply too floppy, without the strength to support itself. Might try a stiffening agent of some kind..? Good idea?
