The color is black and really a nice deep blacks (not as washed or slightly gray).
The workmanship is not so good at the brim of a wire has looked out (about 1 cm) of not more could be tuck.
The material has been formed at various places small nodules. The nodule formation but the appearance did not make much demolition.
For me and a friend, he has unfortunately not so well fitted. It turned out to be large, which has not changed even by bending the wire. If you wear a ponytail including, it is secure and no longer sliding forward. I have a head circumference of about 53cm.
The package was too small (in an air cushion envelope) and the hat was folded. It is true that it can be easily re-straighten (even if you pack it for the holidays), but unfortunately it has lasted several days until most wrinkles were (all! Not) out again. We have purposely reingestopft a pillow in the headboard.
Price-performance is okay, I would buy it again.
