This fur hat is in good condition. It measures between 7.5" and 8" across. When you pick it up, there is a small amount of fine residue, almost like dust where it was sitting. I am not an expert on furs, so can't guarantee that this is genuine fur, but it looks exactly like others that I have seen pictured, and the brand name seems to indicate that it's real fur. No returns if this doesn't fit, or if in your opinion it isn't real fur. The pillbox is in good condition for it's age. There aren't any odors to indicate having been in a smoking environment.
