I purchased this at Village Vanguard. I was satisfied with the purchase (the type to be satisfied with the purchase, lol), and I had it stored away for a long time, so the fluffy texture is still intact! *I haven't taken it anywhere, and it's just been stored, but since it's been a few years since I bought it, there is a faint stain on the top of the hat. (See photo 7) I don't see any other stains, but please be aware that it has been handled by someone else, and please check the photos carefully before purchasing. m(_ _)m The photos are everything. *I plan to ship via Yu-Packet Post. I will compress it slightly.
