Whether your a Canadian Mountie, a Military Drill Instructor or a Texas Ranger this authentic looking felt hat is for you. If none of those, it's great for dress up or Halloween costumes. Other similar hats have the felt rubbed off the top or stains because the manufacturers ship them to retailers loose in boxes. Cardboard always ruins the top hats in the box. Kangaroo has factory sealed all its hats including this one in a poly bag. Your hands will be the first hands to touch your new hat.
