More fashion than cold-weather wear.

[Mrs., here] For only $9, I can't complain, but pay attention to the reviews that say the material is light. It is fairly light. Also, this is made in China---and I have no issues with that, per se---but always keep in mind that apparel made in Asia is almost always going to be small by Western standards, and that is the case with this hat. I have a small head (comparatively), and this hat fits me snugly. I wore it once, and the fabric stretched out of shape. Lastly, there is an odd, thin, white line on the outside of the hat. At first I thought it was thread, and then perhaps that it was a repair, and I finally figured out that it's likely the dark colored "wool" is attached to some kind of white base fabric, and there is a small "gap" in dark fabric there, which tells me there was a quality control oversight. ~ Bottom line: If you want French beret, buy one made in France. They are more expensive, but you get what you pay for in this case.
