The material is very high end & my friends come to me to tell them where to find whatever they need. The stitching is perfection & again I am hard to please. The pleating is perfectly measured & each pleat is the exact same size. There isn't a single thing out of place. I expect that on the clothes I buy but the person who took a single piece of beautiful material & made the couture line of hat bands, they also have pride of workmanship.. I ordered more today I only wish they came in every color. The price is to low for this level of work & materials.. I don't say that for any reason than I believe people should be paid every penny they are worth & these are worth more.. I would have no problem paying more.I live by this rule.If you buy a diamond ring for a dime, you probably bought a diamond not worth a dime. Author ~Unknown
