Wide Brim Suede Hat

It is true, the hat band is slightly different. There is one thin braided band that is equivalent to the width of the two twined ones pictured. It isn't preferable for me but it also isn't horrible. There is no reference label that denotes the material from which the hat is made. At first, I was disappointed that it didn't seem like real suede. Some people prefer natural versus manmade materials and I am usually one of those people. However, since I will be wearing this hat to my daughters' horse shows, I don't care that it isn't suede because this will be easier to clean, although, it will not develop the patina that real suede does when it has lived through life's adventures.
