Hi Kate. Thank you for taking the time and I am sorry to hear the hat wasn't a good fit for you. The hat has just 3 layers. Organic cotton on top, a layer of felt to give some support to the brim as it is a wide brim and mulberry silk. We have shipped the hat to hot places like Singapore, Malaysia, Florida and have raving reviews from the customers. I understand the product may not suit everybody and I appreciate your feedback. I offered to take the hat back from you for a full refund back in August 2024. You said you will send it back after a week but we never received it back. We have also added new colours in cotton canvas which is a hevaier fabric - means the felt used is much thinner mkaing the hat much lighter.
