This hat is exactly as expected: cumbersome and impractical to wear on a regular basis, but I love it so much. It's difficult to tell how far away it is from my face, so I hit the brim on doors and can't wear it in my car, but it's quite the attention grabber and it's so fun to wear. I don't even have to be wearing the hat for it to put a smile on my face; just seeing its silly, extra long brim is enough to make me giggle sometimes. All around, Very Cool hat (:
