I am doing a blue-hat comparison between two blue hats on Amazon.And I like both a lot, different reasons.About this har that lights up:This is a party hat - the LED switch is inside - in back of hat. You push small button. It has a piece of paper "tab" it ships with. Pull that out.It has four options: 1) steady on, 2) slower flashing, 3) faster flashing, 4) off.The material on this hat feels like thin velveteen over cardboard or thick fabric interface. The fit is for a larger head with no way to make smaller. When I push in on sides, it doesn't tighten much. I have a medium sized head and a lot of hair and it still feels big. Chin strap on it will help.The hat is also just a bigger hat in length and width than the other hat.It has what looks like stamped on circles with a sequin look.The lights are on the edge.This hat had extra glue blobs in three places.The CompetitionIt wins for more dressy. (I bought a stunningly beautiful black dressy cowboy belt on the recent Amazon Prime days.) The other hat, high end felt, (65% cotton 35% polyester) is also well made, sturdier. The hat band matches my belt.This hat does not have a tag about materials.BUT it also doesn't have a chin strap and it really needs one. It is smaller than the flashing light had - HERE- but still too big on me, but it can be made tighter in the back. It fits a little weird on me - back fits, front still loose, when tightened.My Conclusion for MeNice dressy felt hat with band wins for a daytime event, and is a warmer hat. It looks like a higher end hat.The hat HERE that lights up win as it just screams PARTY; it will be fun for night time events or for a theme hat. I wanted to check it out as a potential large quantity ongoing purchase hat for a business project.Suggest for either hat, box when not in use. Amazon sent boxed with blow up plastic air bags.This hat HERE does NOT have a formed hat block. The dressier felt hat with band, no chin strap, came with a heavy plastic hat block. Keep that for storage to help keep hat from being crushed.One reason, too, I am thinking to keep both hats is I can use the protector hat block for smaller hat and put flashing light hat on top of felt hat ( tissue in between in case LED battery might leak in future). The felt hat could act as a block to hat that lights up.Re chin straps - I went to Joanne's fabrics and found cording and a cord "locking slide." For under $5 US, and a littld effort, I am adding a chin strap on the felt hat. I need a chin strap since hat is big; a light wind, or getting bumped like in a dance floor and the chin strap would keep hat connected to me. ( hopefully)

This hat isn't made for daily use but if you need something for cowboy day or want to look like Jesse from Toy Story then you have it.the lights are a bit fun and worked well for the time I used them. The hat itself I think would fit on most heads without issue but it isn't fitted so it may be a bit loose.I used this for a costume situation at work and it worked out well. I think it is a nice thing to have on hand for dress up situations, a parade or your local town's celebration days but that is about all of its usefulness.

Bought these hats for the cheer team western night. When it got dark outside and they lit up their hats, it looked so cool. For football games or rodeos these hats are a hit.

Nice light weight hat. Wore to a PINK concert in hot weather and it was perfect. Lights worked.Got lots of compliments on this fun hat!

This hat is even more than I expected… I’m going to order it in another color.

I got so many compliments on this hat. I wore it to an outdoor music festival in the rain for an entire day and the lights still work, hat is in great condition, and it will forever be my favorite concert addition. Ordering another in a different color!

It was a hit. When the lights went down I turned the twinkling lights around the rim of the hat on. It shimmered in spite getting wet from the rain.

LOVE THIS HAT AND SO DID CHAD FROM NICKELBACK
