: Up until my HJ, I wore my Temple consistently (bi-coastal, internationally, recreational & dress use, etc.) for about 15/16 years. If you follow the usual instructions for care (don't pinch the crown when picking the hat up, don't dry with artificial heat, etc), like most quality fur felt hats it can take a beating. My only complaints about the Temple are its height and tapered crown. Keep in mind, present renderings may vary from the hat I originally purchased. Good luck. Keep your head shape and body build in consideration of your choice. How it looks on YOU is what ultimately matters. Hope this helps.
