I liked the whole collection when it came out. Few others must have felt the same as I don't think it lasted a whole year.

Yeah but a reviewer or two had mentioned that the brim width wasn't consistent with the ad copy.
He stated his brim was 3", which I would think about, but not anywhere beyond.

FOLLOW UP:
Someone at Orvis MUST learn to use a ruler one o' these days, the brim, despite what the copy would have you believe, measures at A SPOT-ON 3 INCHES!!!... and is an underwelt. The band might cost you $50 alone in some places. Looks quite like TR's. just not beat to h*ll, yet. Quality mid-weight felt, but I wouldn't wear it in Cuba! Unexceptional liner. You've seen it.
The sweatband is not leather but an absorbent anti-microbial cloth, sewn in, not glued, quite comfy. Far superior to the "bonded" leather sweats (leather dust and benzine based adhesives), found in most hats at this price point.
Overall-->seven of ten for design, six of ten for materials used. Fit seems somewhat snug, but within the stated ranges. I'd like to rate it higher, but not really knowing the true dimensions and the utter uselessness of relying on the description on the page (or using 'chat') is a certain minus. Tighten up, Orvis!
It now has gone up, I 'spect to see it in the hat in the 'bargain cave' next.

I ordered one as I wanted a hat that I didn't mind getting beat up in inclement weather and would be lighter than my wool hats. Even with low expectations I am disappointed. The hat actually has less definition than my cheap Baileys. It's more floppy too.
I will be returning it.
