The item was shipped directly from Sweden via UPS. Frankly I am impressed, then again, I maybe easily impressed.
The item is known as Beckholmen Coconut size L. Coconut refers to its color, not the shape, taste or smell of the hat.
I've always like a bucket hat with a size large enough for my noggin. The Large seems to be large enough "even" for a European brand. As I've always got the impression they run small.
The item arrived. And size wise I think it's big enough but it doesn't fit too well to me.
The bigger issue is it smells funny. Perhaps I should have known. The hat is coated with some rubber or whatever chemical so it's waterproof. So it's sweaty and non breathable, two of the things I hate or don't appreciate at all. Between polyester and cotton, I always prefer the breathable cotton. I think Gore tex is bad, try rubber coated fabric.
Oh well, I hope the smell would get less repulsive over time. I am OK just not sure people next to me.
