Completely unrelated to previous VS threads...just wanted to say I enjoyed a serendipitous, unexpected conversation with Art today. I called intending to leave a message asking about placing a Montecristi order when Art, the ObiWan of hatters answered the phone. A wonderful conversation with a...
I realize this is an old thread but am also interested in the Bencraft Tesi Montecristi. Is it really Montecristi? The price looks great as does the hat. I followed the thread its entirety but am unsure if the Montecristi question was addressed. Welcome any updates or a redirection if I missed...
