To preface: I have purchased this hat (in person) before and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately last winter I lost it and wanted to replace it. I followed the directions for special concerns and added to the special comment section of my order that I have a large head and included the measurement of my head circumference. It is 23.5 inches. The hat I received is 21.5 inches which is too small for me to get on my head. I am also sad that the bronze buttons which are shown on the ivory hat (which I had previously and which I ordered) have been replace by plastic white buttons… however, it does not really matter as I can’t actually wear the hat.
I am very sad, because I loved everything about this hat when I had it before.
