Bought this for a friend that goes walking in the wee hours with her dog and needed a warm hat that was lightweight (we're in SoCal). The color is great, the hat is well-made and I was delighted to give such a wonderful gift.
There's nothing like alpaca, even better than cashmere. And when the hat is beautifully made and you have absolute confidence in the seller, it's a cinch to be a great purchase--which it was. I have so much respect for the artisans who keep the ancient crafts alive. Thank you!
