Incredible Bargain!
This is exactly as it appears. The quality of both the workmanship and the materials seem to be excellent; only time will tell. This is a bargain; I hope that, if you decide to purchase it, you will agree.

Goofy looking hat that protects the back of your neck
Nice hat for working outside. I use it when I am mowing the grass. The back flap is really great for keeping the sun from burning my neck, it does the job. Only reason I did not give it 4 or 5 stars is for one, the sizing. You cannot really tell what size you need. They only make large and largest and neither one is adjustable.What reason is there for it not to be adjustable ?, why cant they just cut some vents in either side and add a velcro strap that go around the back, over top of the back flap. Then you would have a one size fits all hat. I ended up buying both large and largest and the large fit my head fine. The largest seems to have been made for guys the size of Andre the giant or Hulk Hogan.It is also not the most fashionable looking hat, It sure aint no French Foreign Legion hat. Sacre Bleu ! This one looks more like a WW2 Afrika Korps hat but goofier. A white visor and royal blue cap with white back flap would be more foreign legionish. As well, they could make the flap in the back longer and detachable, so you could wipe your sweat in the sahara like in those old foreign legion movies.Quality is good enough, it survived its first couple of washes in the machine. If you just want a working hat that protects your neck from the sun and makes you look like Erwin Rommel would have if he had to mow the grass, this is the chapeau for you mon amis.

No adjustment
Had to order the smaller size and I never wear s/m but it fits.. Amazon didn’t want it back so I gave it to my son-in-law as his head is much bigger!

Size is misleading in Comments
I read in the comment and review before I considered purchasing this hat. The size was mentioned by a person with a "big head" that the L/XL was too big. I ordered a M/S even though my forehead measures somewhere between 23-24 inches and found the hat to be slightly tight. I'm considering ordering the next size up since I like the material and the style. This hat I'll probably give to my daughter or my grand daughter. Anyway, it's a good hat in my opinion and worth the cost.

Sizing up / down
Great price and good quality, one bit of advice. When ordering military clothing with s/m/l scales it is always in your best interest to go one size lower. My size is 23" or 7 3/8 a large. However this hat was 2 1/2" larger ( a lg/xlg ). I ran it through the dishwasher twice, once in the washer and two times through the dryer to try and shrink it down. I managed to shrink it 1 1/2' inches. It is still loose fit so I bought another but a small/medium.Large / extra large measured out to be 25 1/2". If anyone has some magical way to shrink other then hot water / hot dryer, tell me how.Small / medium has been ordered and I can assume it will measure 22 1/4" just a guess.

Way too big and way too dark.
I ordered the L/XL. I have a big head. My whole life I have had to get the largest size hat available. I have tried on hats in stores, and every once in a while a store won't have a size big enough. This crazy foreign legion cap can easily be pulled down below my eye brows. What the heck is that! Moreover, I ordered the khaki color. This is a dark khaki. I find it unattractive. Additionally, the flap in the back is a tad too short and feels too heavy. The proportions on this hat are ugly. Finally, the hat shipped without even an invoice. How am I supposed to return this thing?I have a nice foreign legion hat that I bought some years ago. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be available any more. I had hoped this hat would have been a good replacement, but I'm sorry I bought it.

Little large for my head
Looks great but even in boiling water it did not shrink. Check head size first.It fits a little loose, but a good strong breeze and I'm chasing after it.

Molto ben fatto, l'unica cosa solo le taglie un po' limitate.

You don't have to join the Foreign Legion to beat the Sun!
As a commercial fisherman I could have done with one of these on deck, but now being retired I find this garment invaluable doing jobs outside, especially in the hot weather we have been experiencing recently.
