All I can say is that when I saw this hat and that crazy long feather. . . . I was obsessed and I had to have it. I was not that expensive but oh, look at that feather. I was shopping with a friend when I came across this beauty of a hat and my friend, I could tell, was not too sure about it but I did not care. I was nuts about it. I mean, look at this thing, it's incredible. Best of all, I had a pair of gloves that matched the felt of the hat perfectly and I do have a lot that I can wear with it. So, I hope you are as nuts about this feather as I am because you will be seeing it again.
