It is made for costume wear but it is much better quality than what I was expecting for a replica of a real captain's hat. For those who criticize it, should have spent the top dollar for a real one ,as this one, although is well made, it is not exactly like the real thing on some details on the construction, and for those like me that are on a budget and just want to goof around impersonating a marine captain, this hat will do for the price. It is well made and not flimsy or shoddily made. The embroidery is properly done and the golden tread has a very nice metallic sheen and color shade to it. The top is not rigid like the real ones but is has the correct shape and stays up. The black parts are a matte fabric finish. It will fit up to a 23" size. I recommend it for costume wear or even for day use.Read full review

I wish I had know the hat was non-adjustable. It was too small for a 24" man's head. It appeared nice, but is definitely a costume. I think $8.99 was a bit much to pay for a one-time use. Because it's so ill-fitting, I cannot even wear it to keep the sun off my head when enjoying my pontoon boat.

Very disappointed with this hat - it looks great in the photo, but the quality just isn't there. I should have know better by the cheap price - you get what you pay for. I threw mine in the trash. May be good for a one time affair as part of a costume.

i saw this hat on a beggar in Venice last fall; as we passed, he said, in perfect English - "your wife has a big ass" i turned to her and said - "Welcome to Italy" gave it to a friend and purchased another one for our next, around the world cruse - quality is OK for the price !
