Scala Women's Crocheted Packable Raffia Hat,Natural,57cm

It could be just a plain old gardening hat, or it could be a sweet little accessory when out shopping, dining, whatever. My head is 21 3/4 inches around, and this hat is 22 7/8 inches when measured around the edge of the headband that is sewn to the inside of the hat. Tightening the tie was all it took to make it fit perfectly. Next time, however, I would try the petite size. My head seems to be on the cusp between petite and regular, and I don't know if a petite would have been better or too tight. Nicely made. Brim may be flipped up or down. At one online hat shop, this same hat cost $8 more and they would have charged the inflated price of $18 for shipping. A lot of online retailers charge more than the actual cost of shipping to pick up a few extra bucks for themselves. (They should be profoundly ashamed.) Amazon shipped it for free via FedEx. Ordered on Monday and delivered on Friday. Gotta love that.

this is my second of these hats. its predecessor lasted 6 years and i'd still be using it if my cat didnt decide it looked like a tasty treat and chewed it to shreds last summer when i left it in her reach, cute but stupid cat. i am sizing this as somewhat large, as i have a large head, and it fits me great. i would recommend people with small heads get a petite version of this hat. throw this on with a beach cover up or sun dress and you are ready for anything. i've worn this to a lot of different things, fancy brunches, lunches out, parties, cocktails on the water, back yard bbqs and pool parties, and of course the beach. its a wonderful accessory and packs well and provides good sun coverage to your face. i wouldn't say its crush proof, but its pretty crush resilient.

I purchased this same hat many years ago and it was very comfortable, but it was looking a bit old. I was looking for a replacement. The one I was sent was not woven evenly and looked like it had holes in the brim. Also the brim looked like it had been overheated--almost looked melted. It was not up to the quality of the one I already own, so I sent it back.

This is the first hat I’ve ever owned, because I don’t think that I look good in hats, period. But this hat is the exception. It’s perfect and very well made. My only complaint is that the description says that there would be a built-in way to make the hat smaller. There isn’t. After doing some on-line research, I discovered there are inserts that you can purchase, through Amazon of course, to make it smaller. They work. I’ve worn it several times already and am thrilled that I took a chance on this one.

I have had three Scala hats over the years and love them, I can not count the complements I receive when I wear it. After looking in stores for two years to find a new hat I decided to turn to my computer for help. This is the first one I bought online and was a little apprehensive about how it was going to fit. Especially after reading the comments about it's size. I opted for the free standard shipping and was pleasantly surprised to find it at my door in two days. I was even happier when I tried it on and like my others it fit just fine. I look forward to the summer months with my new hat. Thanks Scala for making such a great hat don't ever discontinue this style.

I really wanted the rounded top hat but that isn’t what I got. I ordered another and got the same thing, not sure how to get the rounded crown hat.Hat is of good quality, I’ve had another of this brand for 30+ years and wear it while gardening.

This is a beautiful hat! Great style, and great quality, however, it's very large. It literally didn't touch the sides of my head. It just teetered on the very top and spun around. lol! My teen daughters and my mother tried it on, and it was slightly big on them as well. I never thought my head was small, and never had a problem with other hats, so I think this just runs large. I just ordered it in the petite size. I arrived in three days, was the same great quality, and fit perfectly! Love it! So cute! It'll look nice with any outfit....dressy or casual.My head measures 21 and 1/2 inches around where the hat sits. If your head is this size, or even a half inch or so larger, this hat will be way too big. Order the petite size.

I have a closetful of hats purchased over the years in my search for the perfect one. I can now dispose of or give away all those other hats....because I have found the perfect hat! I have taken this hat on 2 different beach vacations and have also worn it here at home all summer long. It is still perfect. It's very cute and it fits my big head. In the suitcase, it packs flat or you can tuck things inside it and around the brim....doesn't matter...it still comes out looking good. I sometimes pin a fun brooch to the hat or wrap a scarf around the brim. It is a versatile hat and well worth the cost...you will get a lot of use from this perfect hat!
