This is a delightful, smaller brim hat to bring out all your Breakfast at Tiffany's fantasies. The straw is an almond white with a bit of sheen and comes out about 4.5" from the head. The crown is tall (it is supposed to be) but the irridescent peach silk bows mask the height. This fits a 23" headsize but that can be adjusted before shipping. If you are looking for an elegantly made hat that lets you shine under it, this is the one.
