I purchased this at the hat specialty store analog in Okinawa a few years ago. The color is dark brown (the actual color is a bit darker than in the photos), with a black ribbon. The material feels like felt. Please refer to photos 5 and 6 for the size (measured by a layman). It hasn't been used much, but there is some fuzzing and fading due to age and the material. It looks great on a woman paired with a pantsuit!
