Hello!

I'm struggling to describe a particular hat.


I want to describe a snake-print hat that is made of a shiny, slippery fabric (silk or resembling silk) that sort of shines in the sun. The print itself is made of many shades of green. (I'd attach a link to an image of it but I don't know if I'm allowed to!) Anyway, the sentence would go like this:


Maria walked over to the fussing teenager and slammed the shiny, many a green shade fabric down his heat-addled head.

He'd felt an tight bucket hat being forced on his head and knew it had to be the ugly, snake- printed one she'd bought over back in New York. Could I use non-moldable instead of tight to stress the fabric is not stretching?

Do you think the underlined phrases work?

Non-moldable doesn't work for me. I'd say something like the fabric didn't give.
