Disappointed in Quality
I love Tommy Bahama’s product, but this was disappointing. We travelled to Italy in June for a two week stay, and after my first day on the walkways of Rome I noticed the blue die from the band was streaking and coming off, not a little mind you, but enough not wear the hat.
It looks rag tag and not refined.

Nice hat, way too small.
I don’t have a big head and this hat is too tight, this hat has got to be for women because there’s no way this would fit 90% of men. Its tight on me. Other than that its a very nice hat, I wish it would fit. I think I might buy a hat stretcher or just return. What a shame because I really like it. Its a good quality item. No complaints about itmother than how small the headband is. I wish they made a larger size.

Versatile and Stylish
The Hester Packable Braid Hat is a versatile hat that can find a home in anyone’s wardrobe. Shifting seamlessly from indoors to out, the combination of durability, weight, and sun protection make it a must have three seasons hat for those who enjoy travel, picnics, ball games, tiki bars, and the beach.
