Wide Brim Boonie Hat, Men & Women Top Camo Bucket Hats for Safari Military Beach

Nice, Once Smoothed Out!
kolumb Wide Brim Boonie Hat, Men & Women Top Camo Bucket Hats for Safari Military Beach…and my thoughts.It came a wrinkled as these always do but not hideously so. Before anything else, I spritzed it inside and out, and all over, rolled up a facial towl with precision, and molded it on the inside and then another and flattened out the brim, and rolled it around the entire rim, leaving the three to dry alone, perfectly flat. The result was a perfectly shaped hat and I recommend this method for all cloth hats like this instead of complaining, these are not hats from the Queen of England in a highly-decorated hat box. They are inexpensive, lightweight hats meant to be folded.”Uh, but, Kevo, how is the darn hat???”Okay, okay, it is a good hat. One important thing to remember is that when buying any hat, especially popularly sold ones, your head plays the biggest part in how a hat looks! Even the famed black mouse ears do not just look good on everyone. Don’t believe me? Go to the park! I have the precise measurement of 23.5 inches and this hat fits perfectly. But I hate it. Then, again, I hate hats! But it’s my head. Nothing wrong with my head but I have never liked hats on me. Okay, maybe psychosis is part of buying a hat, too, because everyone who sees me in a rare hat moment says it and I look great! Bad hat. BAD HAT! No, just the way I see myself in a hat. Do you like yourself in dayglow vests? Neither do I, but we may look gorgeous in them anyway! Remember your head can be the culprit.This hat looks fine on me even though I hate hats. My dermatologist insisted I now always wear a hat that covers the top of my head Mandatory. So I got a dang hat.This boonie is the blue Digi-camo and is really good-looking. Like, me. I am. Because I’m not an alien like Imtikopx, the Plutonian “model” here staring at me in my hat. I also have great hair. Another reason to not wear something that makes me feel entombed. Like a hat. But the paparazzi lost my address and I have to take care of my head, and me, so, I have a UV hat that I do not regret buying. The adjustment cord is great, it is comfortable, the snaps are sturdy and strong, and it is just a nice hat! On someone else, and, I suppose, on me too. I just don’t have the neato outfits to go with it other than my matching blue eyes! Well, my eyes do match each other but also the hat. Sheesh!Closing up the hat shop, I will add the tag is in the back but it looks better on me when the tag is in the front. Again, it’s “not the hat, it’s me”. I will pick any hat apart on my head but add here that I have no regrets about the hat. For the money, it is terrific and I recommend it! Good gift idea, as well.

Made an improvement
Material is lightweight, and stitching seems adequate, but this hat is sized for a giant head. I’m no pinhead, I wear a size 7 soft cap / cover, but this was way too big. I was able to resolve this issue after I received another boonie from a different manufacturer, which had a drawstring incorporated in the brim lining. So my solution was to run a length of 550 cord inside the liner, to allow me to cinch it up a bit. Now it fits perfectly, and my head isn’t swimming in it. It otherwise looks well made considering it’s made in China, but what isn’t these days.

Great hat
I like the fact that you can fold it up for pocket storage.

True to Size
Nice Hat!
