Beautiful cotton hat! The coarse, slightly irregular knit looks very nice, the hat fits very well - tight but comfortable. Keeps the head pleasantly warm and still allows the skin to breathe. You don`t usually sweat underneath and if you do during more intensive physical activity (I also like to wear the hat for sports), the cotton fabric absorbs the sweat, leaving no unpleasant, sticky film of sweat on your head and forehead. Easy to wash, works great in the laundry bag on the gentle cycle of the washing machine. Perfect, would buy the hat again in a heartbeat. The price-performance ratio is right.
