Vintage Very Dark Blue Hat - An Everitt Original "Spunwoven" Woven material with some openings on the "brim". The bow can be worn on back, also looks cute on the side. Approx 21.5" circumference. Hat is in good condition though I had to remove a veil which was too shattered to work with. Looks great without the veil, as pictured. Regarding customs: You are responsible for all customs fees and charges. Please note: We will not falsify customs documents, so please do not ask! If possible, direct your concerns to your government officials who make up these rules and enforce them. Let them know you feel you are being overcharged and see no reason for it. There are many feeling the same way as you and there is really nothing I can do as I am operating my business in an honest manner.
