I created this hat for the people that don’t like the messy bun hats as they don’t wear their ponytail up so high and they still wanted a hole in the back to slide their ponytail out. Also decided to add the brim/bill as I was getting other requests from joggers and skiers that they would like to have that extra feature to give them a bit of shade from the Winter’s bright sunshine. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your purchase :)
