I was nervous buying a hat without trying it on first, but the measurements were true to size, maybe a tiny bit snug but it's a stretchy material so it's OK.
Also decided to take a risk regarding the colour and the texture. The shop photos here on Jacaru's page don't show you what the texture would really look like outdoors so I've included some photos outside and inside for you to see and a couple of closeups.
The leather is incredibly supple, soft, lighweight, and smells wonderful. I can't believe how lightweight this hat is. And this is particularly the travel featured hat so it's true, you can crumple it up, and the wire brim will spring back into shape.
The hat does slouch a little bit on the back when resting on the shelf but I think that adds to the worn-looking charm.
The texture is a great style in my opinion. Anyways, see my photos. No complaints at all. I included a photo of the underside so you could see the soft leather material.
