This hat surprised me! I’m not a fan of cotton based hats- this one is cotton however they did a good job with the front bill and the support that holds the shape of the hat. It allows the hat to stand tall making it hold its form even when it’s not being worn. I’ve gotten several compliments on the quality of this hat. In my experience- there is not another company that provides hats at the quality Valuetainment does for the price point. I have an addiction at this point! Love the hats!
