I mentioned to my gifter that my favorite type of hat is a fisherman's hat (similar to a flat cap or 5-panel, but rather obscure). They asked for some pictures of my face to ensure a "good fit," which is when I realized I was dealing with a real Hat Pro and should be worried.
Lo and behold, they got me a VERY elegant fisherman's hat with some brocaded decor on the brim. I have two fisherman's (one in dark brown and one in olive), so this one (light tan) is a major addition to my wardrobe!
It's a Greecian export (the text says, "Hellenic Handcrafted Creations) and the interior features both silk and leather. I'm VERY impressed and delighted.
Thank you, gifter; I really appreciate the care you took in this exchange! (P.S.: Even though you wrote on the box not to use a knife to open it, I confess, I used a knife. Don't worry, though; I was like a surgeon, and the hat was entirely unharmed!)
