Let me preface this review with how much I adore Janessa Leone hats. I have bought 5 over the past few years and will continue to purchase them as they are very high quality and beautiful. I should’ve paid more attention to the fabric of this non returnable Renee style, as I wouldn’t have purchased it. It’s beautiful but itchy, not ideal for this style!

The diameter is too short even with the rim pulled down. The circumference is okay and fits. However, I like a fuller crown in a beret. This one barely makes it over my hair and collapses into grooves and domes and doesn’t sit smoothly across/around the top of my head. The wool is also poor quality. The wool has a coarse feel. I have purchased berets imported from the Czech Republic with roomier domes and of a superior quality wool for $75.00. I hope to return this beret, altho Leoné's stating final sale. I can never wear it, plus it was pricey even on sale. The golden bar trinket on top does not justify this poorly made product. Very disappointed.
