3” brim is perfect for protecting ears and neck. Mesh crown keeps head cool even on hottest days. I have several versions in various colors. I didn’t buy it seeking compliments from random strangers, but they come anyway. Wonderfully made and it is washable and crushable HOWEVER in time the front of the crown will lose its great shape if the hat is put on and taken off grasping the front, degrading its appearance. You have to train yourself to handle it by the brim. I wear it everywhere.Recently the price from various providers has varied widely. I rarely pay more than $40.I really like this hat, as I enter the "old man" stage of my life. It fits really well and seems well made (for today's standards). Its very breezy so that's a plus. Follow their size chart and you should be good to goWay better than those bucket hats! Wide brim and mesh around your head to keep you cool. I am 100 times cooler in the sun wearing this hat than any other hat I have tried/worn. I am football and soccer coach, so I spend a significant part of the day in the heat of the summer in Georgia.I use it for golf and hiking Certainly would keep the sun out on the beachVery good quality hat. Good fit, a bit larger than I have worn in the past, but it's very comfortable and looks smashing. Yes, it comes in a box - it's not gonna break so they just throw it in sans any packing. I never ship anything that cavalierly, but it got here in great condition, so I guess that shouldn't be an issue.The only think I would change is the chin strap. It is a leather piece that is not very flexible.I purchased two of these hats with the same brand from two different sources. The head size was inconsistent. One hat fit perfectly and the other was a bit snug.Wow! A hat that fits and looks good on me. It is sooooo stylish and I LOVE the color. Cannot wait to wear it
