I must start with the mink fur itself. It is simply beautiful. Any hat would look good if it were made of such fine fur. The hat, however, is not just another hat. The design and the construction are--in my opinion and from comparison with several other hats of this style--excellent. Moreover, through email correspondences with FurHatWorld personnel I was able to communicate my concern and needs for a good fit. I find this hat to fit very well. I truly appreciate the excellent communications and assistance that the staff provided.
Furthermore, one very pleasant surprise was the weight of the hat. I have several beaver and Persian lamb hats that are generally called "Ambassador" or "Diplomat" style hats. This mink fur hat is considerably lighter in weight than either my beaver or Persian lamb hats, which themselves certainly are not heavy or in any way uncomfortable to wear. The mink hat, however, is as the cliché goes, "light as a feather." It is very easy to forget that I have it on.
I am very happy with this hat and wish that I could rationalize ordering one in black mink.
